The rubber button cover will be translucent like on the Q8. This way you can see the leds under it.
They have told be the price they are aiming at. It is very good! But they may be waiting until more details are ironed out before they publicly announce it.
All signs point to number 1 and 4 as the most favorite. It’s also what Sofirn prefers, so they will probably go with that. Sorry plunger. (I was rooting for the plunger because I carry it by the head, never the battery tube. I just hope the stepped design does not hurt my hand or feel awkward)
I have not heard anything about when exactly. They are moving quite fast if you ask me. Some lights take a year or more to go from start to finish. Look at the Q8, GT and FW3A. So we just have to be patient.
I don’t have that, yet. I assume they will go with the stepped head 1 and 4 design. So maybe now they will focus more detail on how it needs to be machined, etc…
As said earlier, personally i prefer the Kronos K70 prototype head (without the lengthwise cutouts) or the S70 style head with plain straight finning and without crenelations.
The cleaner, the better.
After all this thread is based on the Kronos K70
It depends on the price, but for now i wouldn’t buy one.
I care about aesthetics
This is a misconception. Sofirn has nothing to do with Kronos. From the beginning they wanted their own unique design.
You might be thinking it was related to the Kronos because they posted in that thread. This was simply because they saw an already assembled group of people who where wanting a particular style of light (L6, S70 K70, EE X9, etc…). That’s all.
I definitely see some “inspiration” from this light in the Sofirn design. The tail cap shape for sure. The lanyard ring right above the switch. The bottom of the head from the switch to the battery tube has the same shape.
I just hope the Sofirn light has a thinner tail cap. The K70 one seems too fat.
