[USA] ☀︎ Illumn: PB2S Blue, Red, Yellow. FW1A (waiting on SST-20), FW3A in stock and shipping

Same here, if the price is about the same, I rather buy from Illumn. Excellent customer service and super quick shipping!

Thanks for all your support everyone! If people are wondering why pre-order listings are not up yet, we've been told we can't "pre-sell" them to "allow for BLF/TLF members to pre-order them" from a.....select not-to-be-named overseas retailer. Judging by their previous track record fulfilment speed we'll still likely get them in your hands stateside faster than they would anyways.

And all he contributed IMHO was to slow the project down… :person_facepalming: :rage:

I believe there was a fair amount of effort spent on communicating with Lumintop and actually getting the thing produced. I feel his contribution was a net positive to the project. I’ve had good experiences with his shop as well.

Without someone stepping in this is all Lumintop is able to produce. The same design over and over. So regardless of what we think about the process it’s necessary to get what we want.

Yea that’s what I’ve read too in that long thread. He contributed a significant amount of time and effort on the project. If it weren’t for “him” facilitating the communications, the FW3A would still be in perpetual development state. Lumintop is known to be extremely bad at communicating. I made many purchases on that overseas online store and never had any bad experiences. But for these new FW3A, I will still buy it from Illumn to support our local shop and excellent customer service. Shipping is also unbelievably fast.

I’m interested in a purple 219C

The logo on the switch is kind of cool… not for me, but cool nonetheless.

BTW, how did you directly post a picture (as opposed to linking to an image hosting site). Maybe I’m not interpreting what I’m seeing correctly, but this seems to be what you’ve done.

It’s “direct” but I got it from a google image search I didn’t convert it to this.

Would purchase a blue with 219C!

New Malkoff’s available!!! :laughing:))))

Nothing like staying up late and ordering a flashlight! XD

Since we’re talking about nichia, is Gene gonna be adjusting emitter height in reflector or even new version is going to be full of artifacts?

Just noticed the pre-order for a copper Acebeam TK18 with great choice of emitters!

Looking forward to this!

A portion of the proceeds for the purple ToyKeeper edition will go to her for her project contribution.

That raw aluminum looks real nice. Do you plan to sell the xpl-hi 7A? I realize there is lower demand for warm white flashlights.

7A WW is not available from Lumintop, far too low numbers apparently.
