I would be down for 2 also! :+1:
Very nice!

Oh wauw, I’ve had small DQG lights in my cart many times but felt great hesitation to actually buy one and reading this makes me feel good about it
Count me in for one, this sounds great!
Please sign me up for one of them. Thanks.
1 please
1 please
BTW , even should be 25$ possible .
I’m assuming 18650, I didn’t see it specified.
I’ll take two!
I’ll have to toss my hat in the ring on this one as well.
I don’t know when it might occur, if I’m not present much at the time please have KawiBoy or J-Dub send me an email and wake me up…
In for one please
In for one, really like the look of this!
So, since the design is complete does this roll right into prototyping?
I may be missing something, but why not just put the driver in the tail? Most of these FET and 7135 drivers work by applying PWM (and in the case of the 7135, variable resistance) between LED- and BAT-. The connection from BAT+ to LED+ is direct; it doesn’t even touch the driver board in the case of the new version 17DDm.
Regardless, this looks awesome. Please put me on the interest list.
In for one, whenever it’s ready.
I would like to buy one.

I never thought of that, it’s a good idea !

The driver will need a BAT+ too for it to work.
But that inner tube can do that. but a thin strip of copper or even nickel plated iron would suffice.

Me too, if that wasn’t already obvious.

But i love the design concept. :heart_eyes:
Will possibly be as tiny as the DQG ?No, the DQG sacrifices too much in order to achieve its small size for my liking. It has no glass lens to protect the optics, especially for an EDC light this is important. Additionally, there is no tailcap spring, which is quite bad for the battery and the LED sits directly on the driver-PCB which grants horrible heat-sinking.
Well, the size of this light is still excellent, under 95mm.
I will buy at least one for sure.

We are talking to a Chinese party. Cannot say more for now.
Driver is needed close to the LED for the thermal regulation of Narsil to do its job, though a driver in the tail is clever indeed

I agree.
I set out to mod it but i have put it aside for later…

Yeah, it’s a shame they didn’t use a metal PCB (alu or copper), that would have solved the heat problem it has.
But when you put a triple in it, you gain space for a MCPCB on the shelf.
And since this thing here has a triple set up, i thought it might be just as short as the DQG.
