yes will update list later
wall shots, troubled driver, kicking in LVP all the time, stills from the video showing the issue so nowhere nearly as bright as it can be run when issues ar resolved. Also note in proto a HD and not a HI XHP35 is used. I just tried to ake screenshots for the hotspot already looks pretty tight, good for a first proto and with such huge reflector
Ang this is thus also a XHP35HD not the HI yet
Wow, finally beamshots! Apart from the beam, the rest of the flashlight looks very nice too! High quality!

Ok, can you please put me on the backup list ? I have no use for this light at all, but can’t resist.

from proto with lots of things to be corrected, on low modes and with XHP35HD instead of HI, but still they are the first wall beamshots
Isn’t that technically a floor beamshot

Mwah. Not sure. It is a French beamshot. People there sometimes put wall-paper on their ceilings

French from China??
Might be the floor of Great Wall…
Very strange that LVP kicks in with buck driver, my assume that battery carrier might be a problem…

The driver issues turned out to be a simple issue with the wrong firmware version being used, I figured it was something like that. A very easy mistake to make and very simple to fix.

Yes, Lumintop and Neal have been a joy to work with, at this rate it just might beat the Q8.

It will be tripod-mountable i believe? Thought i’d read something like that.

Cool! Due to the size it’ll be the first crew served flashlight in history; someone to carry the tripod and another to carry the light.
( ex-military will get it, maybe. I apologize for the way my mind works. I still can’t quite get over the massiveness of it.)
For those not wanting to lug a tripod and the light there’s always this idea: http://powerpictures.crystalgraphics.com/photos/view/cg1p77428059c/maxim_s_machine_gun_model_1910_30_on_a_wheeled

You could use one of these
Type, price and quality vary but just search Ebay and you can get one for about us$12 or less.
