You are absolutely right. If I need only one cell for another flashlight, I will always take a different one…
All should be used the same amount of time…
And before using them together again in one light, I will fully top them up all together in the same charger.

All should have the same level of wear especially in a 4S1P light!
And none must have been over discharged, otherwise the danger of a mismatch is high.

If they are no longer perfectly matched, you can still use them together in a 1S4P light (the BLF Q8 for example).
In a 4P configuration, if your have a cell that delivers less power, the others will take over.
Here you just have to ensure, that the others can deliver a higher current in such a case.
(Your have to know the specs of the cells)

But if all 4 cells are always used together in the same light, you most probably needn’t care for all those things…

The LED has been settle and I suppose this is as good a time as any to tell ya’ll that the host has officially gone into production!

Still a few minor details we are talking over but nothing that should cause any major delays.

No word on when to expect the finished light yet but at this rate in the next few weeks seems reasonable.

:open_mouth: :open_mouth: :open_mouth: YEE HAWWW!!!

Why is no one freaking out about this? This is HUGE! Finally congratulations!! :sunglasses:

8520

Got to stay calm and relaxed. The freaking out will hit when ordering instructions show up in our PMs :partying_face:

Then mass amounts of “ordered” and didn’t get PM posts, will be made. :person_facepalming:

I asked to be put on the list a few pages back but can’t see me on the list. So this is a little poke :stuck_out_tongue:

Nice to hear the production has started. Really nice to see projects like this.

8522

Miller has just not got around to updating the list in a few days, he will get to it before long, not to worry.

8523

Kindly add me to the interested list. Awesome light. :heart_eyes:

8524

Please add me to the order list. Too beautiful a light to pass up. Thanks.

8525

I almost can’t believe that we’re getting this groundbreaking light for such a reasonable price, as a result of volunteer enthusiasts taking the initiative to create and drive the idea, and partner with a manufacturer to make it happen for so many other enthusiasts. I can’t think of any other hobby I’ve had where this type of community participation happens.

I offer my sincere thanks and appreciation to everyone involved.

8526

well said, agreed :+1:

If anyone is curious what an xhp70.2 might look like in a deep thrower type light that originally had an xhp35, then check out this video. It’s a Mateminco MT35 thrower modded with an 70.2 and new driver from Vinh at Skylumen.
