Perhaps a stupid question so very late in the game, but do we have any known runtimes available for this light with either emitter? I’ve looked at the final manual and see nothing there…
Also, in general, should the XP-L HI run “cooler” than the SST 40 given the less amp draw?
Run time is of course a factor of the amp draw vs the capacity of the cell you put in. If the SST-40 is pulling 7A and you use a 3500mAh cell then you can expect, in theory, about 30 minutes. It will be different as the amp draw will drop as the cell dies so it will stretch out more than the theoretical allows for.
Cool running is again dependent on the emitter and amp draw, is the emitter at it’s maximum and how does it deal with that? The SST-40 does tend to produce some heat up at it’s max of 9A or a bit more, so keeping it down to 7A should help alleviate some of the heat issues. I’d expect the two emitters, in this case, to be fairly similar in heat production. We’ll see pretty soon hopefully. 
Almost 20,000 Dale! Wow.
I can’t believe there aren’t more people celebrating this news! :partying_face: I’m looking forward to getting mine!
I really want this, and am definitely very excited. My wallet, less so.
Me too! Especially since the tint is 4800K v's previous predictions.
I’m a bit worried about the firmware, but I sure look forward to buying one this weekend.
Stoked!
Edit: Tomorrow is payday, so I am totally ready.
Sorry if this is stupid ?, but who is the seller/website?
Alexpress/BangGood/ Gearbest/ etc.
Thanks

Aliexpress.
I hate sound like a broken record here Docc but can you make certain they include both size retaining rings in the box? If I dont like the SST-40 I want to be able to change the LED to a 3535 one.
Did we find out if they take PayPal?
In my experience, AliExpress offers PayPal for an added fee.
I always just use my credit card to avoid the fee, though it's not a huge fee.
I talked to Jacky yesterday. If you buy a light with SST-40 a extra XP Centering ring is in the box and XPL lights have a extra SST-40 centering ring. We also talked about extra o-rings. Jacky was not used to this but i convinced him to put a set of extra O-rings in the box.
PayPal should work (I asked a few days ago) but its like raccoon city said. AE takes a extra PP fee. And that will be added ontop of the 27,70 $. I can not say for sure how much it is. This is decided by AE not the seller. But usually it is not much.
Thanks guys.
And something for all people that wanted a no ano light but did not make it onto the official No ano list. We have a very limited amount of extra no ano lights.
I will wait some time and if someone from the No Ano List does not claim his light i will start sending PMs to the people that are on the inofficial list i made after the official list was closed.
We do not have much (Jacky did not think that there would be such a interest for this version). But a handfull + the lights that are maybe not claimed. On the next project (if everything goes well with the D80v2) i make sure we can get more lights or maybe a clear ano.
We also talked about splash ano (Splash Anodizing Aluminum How-To - YouTube). This idea came up when i talked with BlueSwordM about the things i need for diy Anodisation. This would require more time and work but looks really nice. And i have not seen it on other lights. Nothing for huge production runns but a small number of lights as a limited special runn (and a few bucks extra) could make it possible.
We talked about so much interesting stuff in the last few month. And i hope we can bring some of the ideas to live!!!
But because every future project with WildTrail depends on the success of the D80v2 i will focus everything on this project for now.
Just to be clear, do we have any “due time” (as in obligatory period) to buy this light?!
Finances have been a bit drained so I still want to buy this, but maybe only within a month or couple of months 
We have not discussed how long they offer us the reduced price. I do not think it will be for a few month.
But i will ask Jacky about it.
Much appreciated! For that and all the other work :+1:
Aliexpress now adds a “sales tax”. Is there any way Jacky can help us to avoid that?
