That was what they offered initially but they have been talking about Samsung 35e’s to sell with the GT. No word on pricing or if they are talking about for sales after the GB though.
Haha maybe a subforum of which of our lights are brighter than different types of cars/trucks/airplanes etc. 
Trust me, I’ve thought about it. Back when I was flying little Piper Cherokees, there is a little window next to the pilot to help bring in air during hot summer days of flying. Originally, they came with a scoop that extended about 3 inches outside the window made of plastic. Well over hundreds of hours of flying, the scoops would break off… and then you just used your hand. You’d be surprised the amount of force there is behind 120 mph wind. It’ll suck your entire hand and arm out the window if you aren’t careful (but it’s not like I ever did anything like that :innocent: )
I really want to say this is awesome. Many thanks to everybody who is involved in this ambitious Project.
I can’t wait to hold this thing in my hands……
Check post #1 on page 1 and use ctrl + F to find your name (I see you are on the list)
I could be wrong, but from what I’ve learned on this forum you should always keep your sets of cells together if your’e going to be using them in sets in a multi cell light. If you take one of those batteries and put it in another light and use it more than the other 7 cells in your set, later down the road you could run into a problem where one cell has less capacity than the rest. Basically what I’m saying is that you shouldn’t buy 8 cells for your gt and then occasionally swap one of them into another light for awhile and then use it again in the set of 8.
I believe this is a safety issue, hopefully someone smarter than me can chime in.
That’s correct, ideally you only use those cells for the GT.
1210 you are good to go
MiBoxer is coming out with an 8 cell charger soon, according to Leo
I am in.
can wait to take this camping
thanks to everyone involved in the project a truly beautiful light
just get what i got, a sky rc charger, and charge em at 3 amps x4
can do 8 cells in hour and a half or so :+1:
lifes too short for slow arse chargers i say 
I’m in, please add me to the list for 2 lights if possible, also how will I know if I’ve been added or not?
Yes!!! I am 1065 on the list!!! I wonder if the light will be shipped out by April 2018 because that is when my next CPF meet will be…. lols….
List on first page. Might take a few days for Miller to update. Patience is key.
What does the sky rc charger cost (what model are you talking about) and how can it charge 8 cells if it’s 3A x 4?
The Gyrfalcon All-88 does 1A x 8 and runs about $58.
The Liitokala lii-500 does 1A x 4 and costs $25. So you can get 2 for $50.
The Miboxer C4-12 can do 3A x 4 and was on sale for $32. You can get 2 for $65 and charge at 1A, 1.5A, 2A, 2.5A or 3A each, whichever is safest for your particular cells.
Miboxer is planning on a C8 version which might be cheaper than $65 (price not known yet), but it is still a ways out.
So there’s lots of options, you just need to decide if 1 big charger or 2 smaller chargers best fit your needs.
Your right, the cells should be matched and married. Just keep in mind that Kingjohn said that if they were no longer needed in the GT they could be used elsewhere.
I read it as if he had 8 matched and married cells, then decided it was too heavy and he didn’t need the extra run time so he kept 4 cells in the GT and then split up the other 4 to use in different lights. That is perfectly fine.
Thanks for the testing TA.
2490 lm — 2 A
2630 lm — 2.5 A
If I’m not mistaken, max ramping is 2 A and turbo 2.5 A, any plans on lowering these numbers?
More than 7 8.5 W for 140 lm doesn’t really seem worth it.
edit: wrong math it’s more like 8.5 W
That is exactly why we dropped the ramp max down to 2A. Going from ramp max to turbo is hardly even noticeable when you see it happen.
No need to go below 2A, that is a good output for the xhp35 before it really starts to drop in efficiency. Turbo is for people that want every last bit out of the light. I would not use it long term, while the LED handles it fine it sure doesn’t do it any favors and it figures that it will wear out faster. Better to just use the ramp max.
Wow, I just noticed that this GB has over 1200 people on the list! I was hoping to crack 1000 when I started on this project, glad to see I didn’t overestimate the desire for such a halo light.

In all seriousness, it’s awesome and we can’t wait to hold them in our hands! TYVM for everything you’ve all done on this project!
