haha! would be nice…my bank account would have a few more zeros in it for sure :+1:
Is that your name here buddy? Really appreciate you looking out for me like you did… you’re a true gentleman! That goes for everyone else who tried to help too. nobones, eek… y’all know who you are! 
Btw I did finally receive a few texts from saabluster this week. He didn’t offer any timetable for my Deft-X mega upgrade though…. we just talked about life and stuff. :person_facepalming:
anytime my friend… :+1:
this light should be epic, would of hated to see you miss out 
If it’s possible I like to have one, too.
Even if its not that useful I really want this flashlight. Its big, ugly, heavy and everyone will ask about it and thats perfect 
.
I don’t know about ugly, but I’m definitely chuckling!
It’ll look like a normal size light in the hands of a really massive person. Slung on me it’ll look like exactly what it is, a huge light. Yes, it will definitely get comments.
I’d like to see an extended Q8ish 8 cell light for massively extended runtime if it could be done. It would be the power outage light to beat! Of course it would need to be easily slung.
Just registered for this, you can put me down for one GT too.
Welcome to BLF!
Will update list later
Please put me down for one more, 3 in total. Thank you.
Q8 and GT really seem to push up the number of Members here … :+1:
Yeah, and my postcount too with all the welcomes
Will34 had a really sweet idea for a GT marking, we are tweaking it now so it can be presented!

wow, ask and ye shall receive 
!
looks shiney! 
i wanna see a pic of it beside of a grapefruit
It looks nice. But, why is the reflector pictured not the same as the drawing? Where are the extra ribs and such? Did they decide it was unnecessary?
[quote=nodoubt]
Yeah this was funny, yourquestion (not yet answered and ten receiving the email
David, I thought it were like guide lines, those ribs, not for making them but to indicate the sizes.
But IDK,
I would prefer a deper reflector, 140mm or similar. I think it should be at least as deep as its diameter.
:sunglasses: :+1:

The ribs in the drawing are ribs. They have dimensions in two directions for each one. But, maybe they did decide those weren’t needed, so left them out. I guess we’ll find out!
somewhere in the thread all the calculations to get to this size can be found.
Basically this is an upscaled TN42 reflector.
Our top ID vs depth is 0.5% off if a TN42 reflector would have been upscaled, of course ours is better for so much thinking, research and calculating went into it
it was very cool however to see that with all the work it took to get to these sizes it was so close to the TN42, our starting point was the top ID and it went from there.
