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 And we all need to thank him for the effort doing here so far
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 For the people not following the thread, it is hard to keep up sometimes, so we help each other
I’m updating the list
Sorry I’m late,
I’ve been too late.
Excuse me. Excuse me.

SKY69: You have applied at Post #5360, #5376 and #5393.
How many flashlights do you want in total? … x … units?

I must love you guys or something, because I went through the entire thread history and categorized every post as a [+] request, a [] cancellation, or a [c]omment with no effect on the list. All 5400 posts. With repeated + and entries when people wanted more than one.
Pepinfaxera’s list was extremely helpful, but even with that, and even with the tool I wrote to help automate a lot of this, it still took a while. It’s pretty streamlined now though, so future updates should go faster.
There has been some difficulty obtaining LH351D 4000K 90CRI emitters, because only one supplier has them in stock. Otherwise, there is a 5 or 6 week wait time to get the LEDs.
Digikey has some in stock, but Bob_McBob tested them and found them a little on the green side. It’s picture #2 in that album, on the left.
So which do you think would be better:
Make the lights now, using parts from Digikey. Based on Bob’s small sample, the tint might be above the BBL.
Wait ~6 weeks until a more specific tint bin can be obtained from the manufacturer.
Make the XP-L HI model now, and do the LH351D lights later.
Here’s the beam shot again, cropped to remove the other light in the original picture:
I may be biased in that I want the XP-L Hi version, but I’d say produce the XP-L Hi now and then LH351D later. If I was going for the Samsung version I’d rather wait for the possibility of a good tint given what I’ve seen with my LH351D emitters.
Goodness TK, sifting through all of those posts like that. Even if you scripted something to help, its pretty amazing.
I vote XPL-HI now. Ive seen so many green LH351s that im totally turned off by them unless we can guarantee a rosy tint. Ill buy 1-2 4k XPL-HIs right now if theyre offered at the estimated prices.
