A plausible scenario is while you are doing a search and rescue operation on a mountain you get injured or lost and need to signal that you need help!! With the beam and throw it will make a great light for signaling searching aircraft (and people in the valley) as to your location and that you need assistance in case your radio is dead or out of range!
A momentary on button might have also been considered for the GT for search and rescue and signaling purposes….just a thought for a light designed for search and rescue! I like that my Acebeam K70 has a momentary on it is very useful so you can quickly look in a direction without having to go through the UI just to take a quick look in a direction…. plus signaling is now a viable option especially with the distance you could signal over in Morse Code…… just some thoughts; still thus far the GT looks like an awesome light for search and rescue!
Thank You for the clarification!
Please add me to the list! Thank you.
TA already got the prototype 2
just waiting for his review.
Thanks for the info Neal
Yep, Prototype 2 showed up while I was at work yesterday (turned out it was a whole light and not just the reflector which is great!). I only had a few minutes to look at it this morning before heading back out to work but first impressions are it is a significant improvement.
The reflector is MUCH better.
The kurling is fantastic as well, perfect combo of style, grip and subtlety. A+ on that.
The polarity protection of the cells is also great. I like how they ended up doing it, makes it easier to insert the cells, A+ once again.
The new carriers are nice as well, all metal construction this time, double springs and should have lower resistance but obviously didn’t have time to dig further in a few minutes.
It also has an indicator LED in the switch now!
I will try to make time tonight if I don’t get home too late to look at it closer and get some pictures.
Great news , thanks TA !
Green light is coming…. 
Great! Some news after 2 months of, “just waiting relaxed for improved reflector”.
Should I order the batteries, yet? It take 3 days for them to arrive.
great news !
It is still at least a few weeks until it is ready to ship. So up to you when you want to order the batteries.
I think the lumintop is going to try to get some Samsung 35E or another good cells to ship with the light but they have not confirmed one way or the other yet and no clue on pricing. So might be worthwhile to wait and see what lumintop comes up with to ship with the light.
The 35E is a great cell for Giggles.
I’d have to agree, a 1/2 push momentary (to whatever was last used setting) would be ideal. would def make it a far more useful light all around.
I should’ve put a smiley after the battery remark. I was just kidding. BTW, are the 35E’s button top?
I’ve got the 8 GAs about one month ago. 
lol, I figured you were, the post was aimed more for general reference.
I am sure any cells that lumintop ordered would be button top since they would be sold and used with Giggles 
TA have you checked tint in second prototype? Is it nw or same as first…
The one that is currently installed is a CW LED.
They sent along what we hope will be the final XHP35 separately as they got them last minute. I will reflow it and install it later to see what it looks like. They sent 2 of the NW LED’s as well, so the other one I can put on the sphere to see exactly what we are dealing with.
Patiently awaiting your updates TA.
Really ??? Intrested in a bit more info on this. Is it something like they are talking about w/the K70 build……
(OP, below the last pic, and just above mid of the specs list Update: 10-22-17. KRONOS K70 GB. $50. 243 on list! )
Voltage would be different obviously …… but I kinda like the idea, as long as it’s not a large parasitic draw.
Thanks for the info! An LED indicator light is a nice plus
