This seems to be getting so late, with such seeming lack of interest from Lumintop.
Last I heard was that two (yes just two) proto. v3s had been sent to TLF designers. So far with zero feedback AFAIK.
If I had to predict, I’d say it is as dead as a Dodo, Lumintop will have taken whatever knowledge they thought valuable.
Meanwhile the world has moved on, emitters and decent drivers are much more sophisticated. And triples and quads are rather old-fashioned and limited in so many ways.
If I was a Lumintop product designer with ambition, I’d probably make the same decision, move forwards, not back, and Can this one.
Perhaps they won’t, officially, because of “losing face”, but that’s what I think I see happening. The previous project (GT) probably burned them off, considering how badly they handled it regarding delivery. Perhaps more to do with un co-ordinated BLF people than them.
But they did eventually deliver and kept their promises. An honourable company. If and when they are prepared to accept my orders, I will be at the head of the queue. Unless the thing is just so out-dated that I don’t want it anymore.
Edgy Western design ideas, and freaky drivers, component and LED selections, put into a race-tuned body, may have just been too much for them, and I do think the moment has now passed.
Perhaps I am wrong though, nevertheless if it ever happens it will be well out of date (and frankly a mechanical monstrosity which I doubt will ever be reliable)
So sad for the BLF and TLF people who put such hard work into the mechanical, driver and firmware designs. I do sincerely hope that I have got this wrong, and it will all become perfect.
Lumintop, if you have any soul, refresh this thing, make it, ship it, even if you lose money on every one, you would be respected just for doing this. Otherwise, not so much.
