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
I have a answere from LS. They want to talk to the factory engenier because they are not sure that a light without ano will work without problems (they are sellers not modders) .
Even when i explained that it is no problem (you only loose the lockout funktion) and that i stripped the ano from lights before (and they work just fine).
But they want to make sure nothing goes wrong. So i expect that they say yes to selling us a few lights without ano.
When i know more i will make a official interest list so they can put the right amount asside.

Not at the moment. They told me that they want to wait untill they have finished the machining part. They have changed so many things in the production, that they want to wait and see how much they have to scrap.
The new driver is a bit more expensive and they will for sure have a bit more heads to scrap (+ the new head has a bit more mass).
So it expect the price above the old D80. I hope that it will not be much more but we will have to wait a bit longer.
