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.
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.
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.
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
I got an answere to your question MascaratumB.
The plan is to give us the reduced price until the 500PCS are sold.
For now they did not limit it to a specific date. But i will grab my lights fast to be sure to get the low price.
If the lights are selling fast or if they at some point decide to no longer sell the light 25% cheaper i want to have my 2 lights on the shelf here. I missed enough good deals in the past.

I can ask. But i do not think so.
I was wondering why i have so much problems in so many shops i usually buy from so i contacted the AE support and after that i talked to Jacky. They changed a lot regarding tax. . . example: Since then i very often get the message that the side can not bee shown. . . That happens if the shop did not set up the tax information for Germany right. It is a pain. But they have set up the system this way to push sellers to complete their tax configuration faster. If a seller is not doing it he is no longer able to sell to a specific region. So i do not think they can do much about it. But i will ask again if there are any options to prevent or lower the amount that has to be paid.
