Been catching up on this light. Can’t wait to get it in my hands, great work.

I see that two different emitters are listed in the results:

Poll (2018-06-08): Voting is open for emitter details: (results: the top choices were XP-L HI 3D and LH351D 4000K)

If you’re going to offer both emitters, I’d like to change my order to 4 lights total (already have two, 1148 and 1149) and get two of each emitter type. If you’re only offering one……Oh heck, I’ll still take 4 total. These will make great presents.

Thank you very much for all your efforts, build team.

Larry

O.K. Next update I write 2 for total 4.
Let’s hope Lumintop offer 2 Led
but we still do not know.

I have a couple lights at 4000K with 92 CRI and 95 CRI. I also have several around 5000K with only 70 CRI. I find that the 4000K ones look yellow, while the 5000K ones look white and give better color rendition.

Hmm… I don’t find the 219C 4000K yellow at all, unless you compare it to cooler whites, but that’s a matter of colour temperature. Must say though, and this makes a lot of difference, i don’t have any 4000K 219C in a reflector light.

I have many 219c 90CRI 4000k lights (reflector and optics) and they are very yellow when compared to the 219B 9080 4000k, E21A 4000k, and Cree 5D tint.

I’ll be in for 2 please.

I would set the ceiling to the highest regulated level, and I doubt I’ll use it above that level much.

Quite. Which is also driving my strong interest in this, DEL’s driver with x1 and x7 (I think) AMC chips.

That is huge, having regulation (and efficiency) at all usable levels. Goodbye FET+1.

Plus Anduril of course.

I couldn’t care less about the FET, that’s just for headline figures for a few seconds on a torch of these dimensions, and over-powered-ness (if that’s a word).

If you like that, you might also appreciate Mike C’s approach. He has a 4-channel driver that uses banks of AMC7135’s additively to increase current up to the max level of the driver. Only a single AMC7135 chip is PWM’d so most mode levels are completely PWM free. The PWM channel is for modes below 350mA current.

Here’s one of his driver threads, if you want to check it out.

I really like what Mike C has done, but I suspect he is also a private person, like me, who doesn’t particularly like to talk about things publicly.

Look up “reticence”, for example

Another thing to remember with tint preferences is there is such a large population of color blind people. Those who can not very well differentiate between red/ green will have a very different opinion of choices compared to handing the light to a lady with tetrachromancy and asking her opinion… and there are plenty of us somewhere in between.
Myself I like the Samsung at around 4500K.

Is the 351D available in 4500K?

Not in this Group Buy as far as I know.

I meant just in general, I’ve only ever seen 4000 and 5000K versions.

If there are 4500K for sale what’s their CRI?

I honestly have no idea.

No, Samsung doesn’t produce the LH351D in 4500K.

Oh! Yes,
All interested, be welcome.
At the moment, no limit has been set (as was the case with BLF-GT.

The list on the first page doesn’t get updated very often, but pepinfaxera’s updates are more frequent. So you probably have not been skipped.

OK, great stuff. Thanks!

I’d be in for two. Thanks.

Definitely in for at least two!

I’m in for 1 please

Definitely interested! Please sign me up for one.

Interested in 1.

I’m 35 now, I wonder if I’ll have this light in my collection before I die

Lionheart? Do you have any of the Lionheart lights from Mr Bulk? I have a few of them. Totally awesome for their time. I EDC’d them for years.

As far as these? Yeah, there’s some design time. And build time. They’ll get here. I can’t wait either. Makes me twitch. But the lights are worth the wait, usually. Makes it better when you actually get to fire them up in your hand.

I doubt it.

Over a month ago (20th September) the third prototypes were received for evaluation by two people at TLF directly responsible for the design/marketing, since then not one word.

I mean, how difficult would it be to post a few words about it and cheer us on ?

The main man does have a history of clamming up, going dark and not delivering when things get a tiny bit difficult.

Or perhaps they are just too busy with more important stuff ?

So pipinferaxa, I officially declare that I am out of this one, as I previously said that I would if a further month went by with no news.

I never needed it, but was interested in the driver and firmware. Sceptical about the mechanics. I’d just like to forget all about this and move on. Sympathies to Lumintop, Del and TK. I hope something comes out of this for you.

Please remove me from the interest list (2 torches).

Thank you.
