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
So the color will be black (they also are testing with some other colors but for the first run they will use black).
I was asked if we prefer a mat black or a shiny black?
And i asked if it would be possible to get a few lights without anodization (i want one without it so i can polish the light much easier). If they make it possible they will not put them on Aliexpress this way. This would be a onetime thing for only a few lights. So if you are interested let me know. So they are able to set them asside.
Their 1st gen gray color was actually pretty nice. I think I like it better than the newer FW3A gray. The FireFlies E07 had a really nice dark gray too.
However, cant really go wrong with a good matte black.
Put me down for a no-anno or clear anno if they make it available. (RIP lockout, but you do what you gotta do for a unique light
