I will second that. It’s got to have a good tint too though.
Thanks for the GAW 2.0

I made such a light for you but you will have to pick it up in person as there are no delivery services where it’s at. I left it on top of the highest peak of the ex-planet Pluto in an appropriate gift box engraved with your name so those pesky UFO-driving aliens would not steal it before you arrive.

PS: No requests for duplicates please. I used the last bit of unobtanium in the universe to make this light so there will be no more ever.

Thank you for the giveaway. My ultimate flashlight would be a AAA powered zoomie with ultrasonic coyote deterrent and hidden UV and IR modes.
I don’t really want to be in the GAW unless you just feel obliged (plus I’m in the US of A……don’t even know that you’d send that far) and my post will probably make many of you experienced modders cringe……but I will dare to dream for a moment. My crazy idea, and no, it would not be an EDC obviously….
SRK style light
Gonna stop there because I’m sure I ventured into fantasy land with the different reflector idea……but would be kinda neat to have all that power, battery capacity and flexibility in a solid light.
I’d love something the size of the K18 or Tool (easily pocketable), shiny metal (Ti, Cu, brass - does’t matter!) that puts out 1000 lumens or so without overheating, and has a 2-3 hour runtime on high (plutonium battery power?) with infinite mode adjust and CRI adjust, and a beam adjustment from throw to flood, and a way to mount it for hands free use without a headband or appearing like a total geek (I must look like a dork in my H03 headlight, but I love the way it works) - also wireless recharging…
oh, and some trits! just for fun.
thanks for the additional giveaway!
This is my ultimate light:
form factor - nitecore tube type
ui - i like nitecore tube ui
emitter - 1000 lumens 93 < cri
battery life - 1 hr on high. 10hrs at 300 lumens
magnet - allows hands free work
lantern mode - some kind of add-on that turns it into a lantern
continuous battery life indicator - i always fret about how much juice remains
headlamp mode - attaches to a headband
Thanks for the giveaway!
My dream light:
Pic of the prize added.
I’m into throwers, so I’m thinking dedomed Cree XP-E2 in a 200mm reflector. Single 26650 would give sufficient run times. Matte black anodized finish with simple 5 mode regulated driver and a side switch.
I’d want something the size of a Utorch UT01 but with a long long run-time for my earthquake supplies. Since it doesn’t have to be a real light it should have a 1 month run-time on a single charge at 1500 lumens with 3 additional modes, one of which is a 1 lumen moonlight (6 month run-time). It also needs to be indestructible and 100% waterproof. Being able to mount it on my shotgun and rifles with a pressure switch would be a plus.
I want a custom milled light. I do not care about specs and performance i can build any output light i want but i do not know/have the equipment to produce my own base light.
Im really into headlights. So my ultimate light would be a single 18650 headlight with 5 leds running down the length of the tube. Like a traditional angle headlight, but instead of one led off to the side, they would be evenly spaced all the way across. The middle led would have a reflector for throw. The rest would be full flood and hi cri. It would have fins for cooling, and be very lightweight. Maybe one red led also.
Thanks for the opportunity to win this GAW
Not interested in modifying one of these cheap and nasty’s…?
A really good and “compact” thrower would be great, something like the Courui D01 but with a stainless body and an BLF X6 style head.
Lots of copper and cooling fins sandwiched in between stainless steel.
Some thoughts on “my ultimate light”…….
I think my ultimate light would be kind of modest. I would love to have a single 18650 or two 18350 driving a single xhp35 in a c8 sized package. I need something pocketable for work but bright with awesome throw. UCL lens and smooth reflector. Heck maybe even a lighted tailcap to boot. Modes should be simple, three or four with none of the flashy stuff. That would be the ultimate work light for me and definitely the most used light.
I take the current crop of xhp35 drivers either don’t fit or have the flash modes
My ultimate light will be the one where I can finally put my hands on.
My fantasy light:
2 switches - one for flood and the other for throw
All from within one reflector designed in cooky way to house two styles of LEDs - a group that do the flood duties and maybe one in the middle that throws.
Maybe called a TNL-642
Hmmm, figure something very much like a ’502 only a smoother battery tube, rounded tailcap, forward-clicky switch, twist-ring like on a Quark 2AA-X to allow a VG10ish group of modes (f/l/m/h), and twist for 100%-only “group”. Or alternately, a lock-ring to prevent inadvertent mode-changes.
219 5k hi-cri would be nice.
