O.K.

Has the LED been selected yet? I trawled through all the posts a while back, but kind of forgotten what the result of the survey was. I not it’s not a popular choice, but personally I prefer the cool whites.

hehe, thanks for that, I needed a chuckle…

At the time the Poll results were sent to Lumintop, the XP-L HI was leading the Samsung as first choice.

“Popular choice” or not…. I too prefer the cooler side of NW. :+1:

Yes, I have one now. There is good news and bad news.

The good news:

  • It fits, and is tight.
  • It is very sturdy.

The bad news:

  • It is too transparent, so the light comes out unevenly. More light out the front, not enough out the sides.
  • It diffracts light like a prism, so the forward-emitted light is yellow and the side-emitted light is blue… even with a good emitter inside, like a Nichia 219B.

So it’s not ideal. But it does at least work.

I may have missed it, but are the optics user replaceable?

Hmmmmm, they should be.

A Carclo 10511 is being used. So unless things are glued together it should be replaceable.

BUT, if I happen to be wrong….
……I am positive this statement will be corrected. :smiley::wink:

Can I get on the list please?

You have asked some posts ago, but the list hasn’te been updated yet! pepinfaxera will do that and add your name! Please be patient :wink:

Yes, it is meant to be easy to change the optic. It uses a standard cheap optic which is available in a few different varieties.

Thank you teacher and ToyKeeper!

** My pleasure…. :+1: . **

Please add me for 1.

Thanks

I would like to be put down for 1 light. I’ve never used this forum before so if I’m posting in the wrong place or need to give additional info, please let me know.

This is the right place. You’ll see your name on the list after the next update in a week or so. Welcome to BLF.

I don’t see me name on the list yet so I figured I would repeat me request for one again here. I definitely want one of these lights

I also checked the list and can’t see my name. Interested in 1 light. Thanks.

BTW folks, whenever you want to find if your names are on the lists use the “Search within thread function” and/or check the most recently updated list by pepinfaxera. He updates the list when he can, so sometimes it may take more than just a few days to do so :wink: And we all need to thank him for the effort doing here so far :wink:

:person_facepalming: Thanks…. didn’t realise there was an updated list!

Actually there are 2 lists, one in the 1st page (that is updated basing on pepinfaxera list) and the one I linked above, by pepinfaxera!
No problem at all :wink: For the people not following the thread, it is hard to keep up sometimes, so we help each other :wink:
