Emitter and temp polls were completed a while ago and there has been discussion with the manufacturer about them IIRC.

Another post 2 or 3 weeks ago said things are starting to wrap up from the sound of it.

I jest, still can’t believe after 15 months they haven’t sent out a prototype for approval yet

JasonWW · August 3, 2018, 11:49pm

They’ve sent 2 different ones so far. IIRC

lionheart_2281 · August 4, 2018, 12:58am

I must have missed that, were there problems? If not, why aren’t these being mass produced?
We only just decided via polls the popular tints and LED’s, have they done a prototype since then?

All this info is in post 1.

First proto was just before Xmas last year. Be nice to have this in production before this Xmas :weary: :person_facepalming:

There’s much more to releasing a product like this than simply having a prototype. Not to mention, they just got the results from the polls like you said, and there will be work testing, deciding on and sourcing the emitters.

They’re trying to do something about wear on the inner tube which could result in the button input becoming constantly in the pressed state.

Oh, hey, haven’t seen you around for ages. I hope things have been going well.

I’m way behind on the interest list, but hopefully I can update the main list soon. Pepinfaxera is doing most of the work there, which is very helpful.

Count me in for 2, please. Thanks!

edit: count me in for

scottyhazzard · August 8, 2018, 5:33pm

I’m pleased you even remember me. I’m back and still craving the impossible. As for the wait, it’s not a problem and I appreciate the heads-up.

MikeMacD · August 9, 2018, 5:59am

Put me down for 2.

ToyKeeper · August 9, 2018, 9:30am

LOL, you showed me what not to do with a Sinner Cypreus FET triple. It left a lasting impression.

ToyKeeper · August 9, 2018, 9:33am

Speaking of which, here’s what the aforementioned light did to my neutral-density filter in just three seconds when I tried to attenuate the output for measurement purposes. It left a lasting impression too:

I am new to posting on this BLF forum. I’ve posted I’d like to buy 1 of these with the LH351D but I haven’t made it on to the list yet. Sorry to be a pain, I think what you all are doing is really awesome!

Sillen · August 9, 2018, 12:48pm

One for me, please
