A few months ago I made a joke prediction which was just a jest about how Lumintop were really milking the FW series and planning to make dozens of variations …
This whole trit thing - I think it’s clear some like them, some don’t - I personally don’t mind (would like a few) unless there are too many to fill, making it cost more than the light itself.
In this case, since it’s in the tail cap which would cost next to nothing (the shell, not innards) maybe make and ‘empty’ tail cap with trit holes, and ship the light with a standard tail cap , or both for an extra charge ($5/8?) - maybe even pre-filled ($20?). People can then put their original innards into their new cap to keep costs down.
On a side note, maybe 3 would suit it better - the 4 holes make it look square, and it doesn’t look right to me, maybe 3 in a triangle?
Not a deal breaker for me though either way - I would prefer to buy it separately though.
On some light I like trit slots, on some I don’t. Not because of the need to fill them (I never feel such need and always consider trits to be optional) but because sometimes the empty holes make an OK-looking pattern and sometimes they are just odd and look out-of place.
Haikelite SC26 looks fine. I have a single trit near the switch and left the other slots empty.
In FW21 and FW421 they look out of place.
There you go, the 21700 quad for me is perfect! The trits in the tail aren’t to my absolute liking but I could live with them. Maybe fill them with UV resin and GITD powder?
I would LOVE it in blue too.
Put me down for one!
