I never liked the styling of the D80 the last time, so I never bought one. But, it’s definitely a better style than the C8, which is very ugly to me. This time around, I plan on getting the D80, if funds allow.

I have a D80, and it fits in my hand nicely.

(It also fits in my shorts pocket well.)

I think you'll like the styling when you have one in your hand.

That's what I'm counting on!

Ah I’m sold Interested in getting on the reserve list for no ano SST-40 if available or normal matte black if not.

Anyone have pics of the original D80 compared to C8, X6, D1 or GT mini?

[shimano3000]

I would like to get on the list for 1x SST40

[fluke]

Can i get on the list for the XPL please.

[TheOnlyDocc]

Only the no ano is limited and the list is already closed. They told me that they wil keep a few extra without ano but i do not think that they have left to many without ano. The mat black version will be sold for everybody in their Aliexpress store.
In the next few days we will discuss how the ordering prozess workes. Because BLF/TLF member are getting the light a bit cheaper.
I will update here when i know more about it.

Thanks for all you have done on this. You did a great job!

I guess I envy you right now
Man, what a group of neat lights you have there :+1:

[LightObsession]

Looks very interesting.

I hope I’m not persuaded to buy one. My wallet is already in agony from the last couple months.

[Muto]

WildTrail, you make heart sail, You make everything Groooovy, Oh’ WildTrail.
WildTrail,………. I think I love you, but I got to know for sure.

Alright guys...here's a new draft of the manual for the WildTrail D80 V2. TheOnlyDocc and I would appreciate your feedback and if there's anything missing or to be rectified, we'll be more than happy to hear about it. :-)

Unfortunately, there are still some gaps yet to be filled about the driver. Maybe Lexel could be so kind to provide more detailed information?

• Is there any LVP in place and if so, at what voltage will LVP be triggered? (I guess so but we need to be sure)
• Is there any reverse polarity protection in place?
• Apart from details in the code, is there any big difference between the original BISTRO UI and BISTRO OTSM? If so, is there any UI chart for BISTRO OTSM available yet?
• At what thermal threshold or timer threshold will the driver trigger a stepdown?

Cheers,

Thomas

Hum, in the text it is mentioned BLF and TLF, but the light only has BLF. Would it be an issue?
Also, maybe the non-anodized photos shouldn’t be on the anodized manuals and vice versa!
So far, my eyes can’t read more stuff

Thanks for your work

[Lux-Perpetua]

TheOnlyDocc did not spare any extra efforts to receiving feedback from TLF users as well.

In a nutshell, yes...it's a contribution and collaboration of both TLF and BLF.

But I don't think anyone will feel angry if the D80 BLF V2 follows the naming convention of other successful lights like Thorfire's BLF Q8.

So, you're suggesting a separate manual for the anodized and non-anodized version?

I'm not sure if this a good idea since it may cause a risk of supplying the wrong manuals with the right flashlights or it could increase handling efforts as there won't be an universal manual for all versions.

@Lux-Perpetua

In terms of TLF and BLF, TheOnlyDocc, Lexel and I are also members from TLF.

TheOnlyDocc also did not spare any extra efforts to receiving feedback from TLF users as well.

Oh, ok, thanks for the explanation! I was just questioning about having one and not the other in the name of the flashlight! That’s ok for me

Nope, not suggesting that! Actually, please forget my point! I was just worried that people may complain for having/not having an image of a light different from theirs on the manual! But this is not even an issue, so please ignore :innocent:

[Lux-Perpetua]

No worries. Any feedback is very welcome. Thank you! :-)

Maybe we should take these pictures out of the manual as they may not look good coming from a black-white copy machine? :-D

[DavidEF]

Don’t take the pics out, just convert them so that they DO look good coming from a black/white copy machine! :partying_face:

EDIT: Nah, never mind, I just looked again. They don’t have good lighting to be able to convert successfully. If there’s a probability that they will be printed with black ink only, they should probably be removed, or replaced with better shots.

[Lux-Perpetua]

TheOnlyDocc will ask Jacky if WildTrail prints a colorful manual. This would also be better to read the BISTRO UI chart. Costs should not increase that much, I guess.

[TheOnlyDocc]

And thanks for all the kind words guys. Also thanks to all people involved. Without your help this would not be possible!
It was a really fun to get this nice BLF classic updated to the light it should have been from the start. And i hope that we can get the sale started soon!
Now we need to get the manual finnished so WildTrail can print them. At the moment we are waiting for a few more infos from Jacky (he is on to it) and a few more infos from Lexel regarding his driver.

Thanks again and i hope this will be only the stating point for future projects.
