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
It is using the same basic firmware setup as the Q8, so it should work like the Q8 lighted switch but I neither have a Q8 nor did I mess with this one yet, so I can’t say for sure.
The switch cover is smoked which gives it a good look and the brightness is ok as well. Still have to test the current draw on the LED though.
It also has 2 LED’s vs the K70 picture you posted, so it looks much more balanced.
It is on the list of things to test.
:+1: :+1: :+1:
Woot woot, new information to drool over.
Thanks for the quick recap of initial thoughts.
I just saw this…
hope im not too late.
please add me to the list.
im in for 1 light.
I guess the gt is so small that we need an indicator led to find it in the closet. I almost always deactivate indicator leds if possible from my flashlights. Not a huge fan of something I personally don’t use, especially when it introduces more places where potential problems or failures can occur. I have a feeling that at least some q8 team members would have preferred thorfire’s “gift” of double led indicators been left off since most initial problems centered around those leds. Then again Lumintop is a horse of a different color as we say on the farm here.
The indicator on this light did not appear to stay on when the light was off but didn’t look too close.
Also it can be disabled in the firmware IIRC.
Same here… 8 GA,s about a month ago.
Gotta have them so I just got them while the getting was good…… ….
Oh yeah……… it’s coming. :+1: … Have that $$$$ ready. . :money_mouth_face:
Pre-Stage pretty much done …. easing into staging. .
We just don’t want to jump the gun and have a RED Light……. :person_facepalming: .
Some progress at last! I hope this prototype will be good enough for mass production, I can not wait any longer.
