Please put me down for 2. Thanks!
I’d pay the higher price if that’s the issue. I just don’t want to existing pile of LEDs that will never get used for anything.
Please add me for one!
I see now why the FW3A clip (photo left) sticks out, probably because they needed it to be wider for strength. If flush to the surface the clip would be too thin and weak. My guess on the hole would be for some strain relief and flexibility. (I just hope that it’s an optical illusion or proto-type that the two edges of the clip aren’t equal width.) FWIW, Fritz’s original design stuck out too.
The ZL clip (photo right) is significantly wider and oriented differently. Some might find it too prominent on the face of the light.
I’m still hanging in.
I was thinking the same thing.
Does anyone have any updates on the quest to source a good SST-20 bin?
At this point I wonder if Luminus has even managed to produce a single SST-20 in a "good" tint bin. Seems harder to find than Boost HX.
I can’t remember what bin it is but the 4000K that Kaidomain carries look pretty good to me.
They appear to be FB4. I have the same in my D4 and D4S and have been happy with them. I’d love to have some below BBL, but like Scallywag said, I’ve never seen one to date.
I should probably go ahead and get another one since I’d like one in the first batch and it sounds like the high CRI will be further down the road. So if you can put me down for two instead of 1 like in my original post. Thanks for all the amazing work guys!
I’d also like to add my name again to the list for a second light, please.
Thanks to the team for all the work this must have been for you.
I would like to have 1 light to purchase.
People have been wondering about the color of the clip. So… here’s an attempt to show how it looks. It’s a little tricky to get good pictures of reflective objects, so I took a few from different angles. Some pictures are underexposed to avoid making the clips appear pure white.
The light and dark pattern in some pics is a reflection of window blinds.
Laying flat, reflecting a darker part of the room:
So the color really depends on the angle and depends on what else is nearby. It’s some sort of smokey chrome finish.
I dont like it as much as the original clip, but I like it more now than I did yesterday……… thx TK
Thanks for the pictures TK .
Thank you TK, nice job on the clip pics.
Looks like…… “it is fit”. .
… but I like it more now than I did yesterday……… thx TK :+1:
Agree wholeheartedly. Thanks for the pictures TK
It is in no way attractive, but I will just take it off. I probably would have anyway. Thanks for the pics.
If I could interject an interlude of indeterminate interpersonal interplay into the interim of our interminable waiting process, I’ve intercepted a message which it seems I need to internalize. Pardon the interruption if it is not of interest.
One of life’s great questions is how many licks it takes to get to the center of a tootsie pop. But one of life’s other great questions, it seems, is how many times people have to tell me something before it gets through my thick skull. :innocent:
I would like to provide a small monetary gift to you as a token of my appreciation. How can I do that? Thanks!
I would also like to donate a monetary gift to toykeeper to show my appreciation.
i’d be intrested in donating, to support ToyKeeper.
I just can’t believe the amount of work that goes into these projects. I’m assuming that we’ll have opportunity to donate to those who have worked so diligently once the light is available?
I honestly hope you do that … so those that wished could send a token of our appreciation.
I honestly think you and the others involved in this and similar projects should do that, or a Ko-Fi or at least a PayPal donation thing. Something like that. Not as a payment, but as a token of gratitude from people who really like what you all do.
please let is know if there is going to be a “donate” option for the development team
I’d be up for that, TK’s interfaces have changed my flashlight world!
maybe a few tokens of appreciation would be appreciated. Not many people I know of work for free, but the ones I am aware of all reside on BLF. A lot of us would throw a few dollars, or whatever we could, their way.
I’d happily donate to TK, the UI she has made us is nothing short of amazing, yet somehow it keeps getting better
How about a permanent Donation thread for anyone that is willing to accept donations??
I can think of many people I would donate a small amount of money to.
I thought there should have been a ‘permanent’ TK donation thread with a PP addy a long time ago….
I’ve been dragging my feet about this, but I hear you. And I finally Did The Thing.
I haven’t been able to get any responses from Fritz since last year though, so I don’t really have a way to do a team donation thing… but I can at least set up a way for people to help me out a bit.
As it turns out, safely receiving money like this is more complicated than it might seem. So I went with Patreon, since they eliminate most of the risk and also provide some ways for people to be more actively engaged.

They use a subscription model, which is great for those who want to stay involved but a little awkward for one-time gifts. For a one-time thing, it means subscribing, waiting until one charge has happened, and then unsubscribing. Which is totally okay; I just hope it won’t be too much of an inconvenience for people. Fortunately, it happens on the first of each month, which is coming up soon so people won’t have to remember very long.
For people who would like to stay involved though, it has its own system for news and polls and messages and such, to make sure the people who really care are heard. And that can be used however people want. Maybe that could be a filtered feed for updates which are interesting or useful, maybe a place to tell me what to do next, maybe something else entirely. But you can be sure I’ll be paying close attention to what people there want.
