ENEDED

Mine shipped early today

Interested.

They wait for ppl to buy the lights before making them because they’re short on cash and already owe latticebrite so can’t get any more LEDs on credit.
I ordered 2 so I can joke.
I like my DQG with triple led so really happy to buy this.

Hey Tom? How fun is it gonna be fitting 7 10mm SinkPAD’s into this puppy? :smiley: I’m betting the mcpcb is aluminum and not direct thermal path. So to swap in some W2 emitters it’s gonna take some work…

. Actually I was thinking it would be DTP and I got a lot of XP-G3's, but XP-L2's sound like the ultimate for this.

This one would be awesome, but sure too big at 40 mm for this light: http://www.cutter.com.au/proddetail.php?prod=cut3061

The diameter could of course be fine tuned, wonder if the emitter footprint is anywhere near correct for their optic? Interesting……

PS: I might just have to pick one of those and it’s accompanying optic up from Cutter and rebuild the head of my Ti/Cu EDC light! :slight_smile:

Cutter really does drive me nuts. They got some great stuff but shoot themselves in the foot with errors in the listings, lack of responding, only pricey Intl shipping options, lack of bare LED's, some great MCPCB's but can't buy them bare. That 7 LED TPAD is worth building a light around, with a few options for optics.

Just got this email from BG:

The NW shows stock on the 20th, and I thought I ordered the CW because it had a better availability date...

I know we’re seeing copper there, but on the site it says aluminum. And if you search through their mcpcb’s it doesn’t turn up at all. Crazy.

“The Cutter-XPG-3-407-E1 is a high power Led Light Engine using the new Cree XPG-3 Led. This version is Neutral White 6500k in S5 Flux

The Cree XPG-3 White LEDs are pre-soldered to a 40mm Round Shaped Metal Core PCB. The aluminum base makes it easy to access the leds via power pads and solder hook up wire to the LED using standard hand tools. Fastening the LED assembly to a heat sink is simplified using either…”

Pretty sure 6500K isn’t Neutral White too. So many possibilities, hard to know what’s what on their site.

Yes, exactly. This is common - drives me nuts. And since it's a big commitment of $$$ buying from them, I try to confirm the real deal in emails and they go unanswered.... ugh.

Interested! Please send me the code!
Thanks!

PM the price and code please. Thanks!

Ordered 1 NW.

pm please

BG is saying Dec. 25th now

I got an email saying the 24th for grey NW. Either way it seems to keep changing. Is this light ever going to be available?

I’m sure as soon as DQG delivers to BG, they will ship

:THUMBS-UP:

New product delay for year end is not uncommon. Light assembly for Tiny III is definitely much more difficult than most flashlights.

I got the e-mail this morning says the product is out of stock and don’t know when they will be available again… basically the e-mail says cancel the order and apply for refund :person_facepalming: I could have swore, I was one of earliest people that asked for coupon code and buy it at the same time this GB was announced.
Oh well, so much for the excitement :rage:

My NW shipped on the 17th :slight_smile:

Did you respond to the email everyone got last week giving you the choice of cancelling or waiting? If you didn’t respond to that, they will automatically cancel your order. At least thats been my experience in the past with BG
