If the FT03 isn’t killing LEDs this probably wont either.
As for the material/color LuckySun actually does Stainless, Titanium, Colored Anno, etc so we should shoot for the moon here if someone has some good ideas. They might be more willing to try stuff than some other boring brands.
Does anybody have an estimate of how many lumens we are looking at with the SST-40 at 7.2 amps? This thing should be really bright for a single emitter, right?
@cabfrank
If i check the SSt-40 test from Djozz Luminus SST-40, a N4 BA bin tested we can expect something arround 2200 lumen 7A.
I can not say what the final numbers are. When they tested they eliminated some resistance in comparison to a assembled light (no switch, no springs and no electrical contact points like tube to tailcap. . . .)
Also i have no idea about flux bin of the 5700K SST-40. They are relativly new. Until now you only could get the colder 6500K and above.
The thread title is “what would you like to see”, right? I would like to see a very dark brown anodisation colour. Like my old Shadow tc500. Or a nice thick matt black so that I can bake it to dark brown myself.
Nice to see some production vid’s. I tried that for the Q8 when it first came out but as Thorfire was not the manufacturer themselves, I never got much of that.
Wow, that’s not what i imagined at all, i imagined something far smaller and calmer
You guys are really screwing with my resolution not to buy any more 18650 lights. Been following developments (and enjoying them) and know i’ll be getting one (at least).
I blame you all
They will sell them on their Aliexpress shop (https://www.aliexpress.com/store/4498067). At the moment there is no Group Buy. But i will try to get a good price for us.
We will have to wait a bit longer. Driver for mass production is not ordered yet (they want to wait untill Lexels had the chance to check the prototype). Also the springs for production have not arrived.
And there is no final price at the moment because they do not know how much they will have to scrap during production.
They have changed a lot of things and had to buy some new tooling to get it done. But they have no experiance with this new toolings.
When i get a price or release date i will update the first post with more infos.
Here some shots from the Tube fresh out of the machine.
And the second one shows the new trapezoid threads.
I really like the light without anodization! Looks really nice
