hmm, choice of LEDs is not planned, adds complexity.
But reflowing isnāt all that hard, I did it with a SRK on gas stove in a jiffy and would not call myself a real modder.
wow, a couple of hours in BLF 80 / TLF 83 total 163
that is really fast, I did expect this clean design and cool features like rear e switch to be recieved positive but this is gong really really hard. awesome!
Looks great, would it be possible as an option to exclude mcpcb/emitters for $8-10 less? Perhaps for a limited first run batch since many of us on TLF/BLF are so particular with our choice of color temp/cri/output/etcā¦
Host or without LEDs mean deviation from the rest, complexity.
Probably even higher cost for not making one inline with the rest.
We know how hard it can be to get hosts from not that big companies who suffer less when not making a complete light, even the likes of Jaxman are not keen for it.
As with the Q8 and GT we aim for a complete light with unique features
Swapping LEDs is for owners for as said, the individual taste of each is very hard to take into account for a larger production while ideal to furfil when reflowing oneself.
So for the grpupbiy LEDs in a nice average in terms of all the tints available seem best.
