Thanks Jason for the explanation, I fully agree with you.
The full copper will bring some small advantages in turbo mode, but whether it’s worth it, everyone has to assess themselves.
My Ranking in case of thermal efficiency after the mod: full copper, copper+alu, full alu, brass.
I need one pretty please! I cannot be stuck with a light that doesn’t live up to its full potential… One unit is all that I ask please, please bump out multi-orders as this is not fair if max is only 100. We all deserve a chance.
Don’t need to worry, you’re on the list (post #2) for the batch, you will surely get one.
Pre pay is not easy to handle for me, I will provide info to everybody on the list via PM as soon as the payments can be done and afterwards the shipping will be started.
But unfortunately it will take some time, it depends on the supplier / manufacturer.
I hope the first half of the batch can be shipped before christmas.
Strictly speaking they should not be. There is a raised stud that touches the positive pole and the battery shouldnt touch the copper plate BUT! it could. In some cases if you drop the the flashlight the stud will press the button top down and insert itself into the battery. In that case you could short the battery positive pole right next to the negative. I wanted to send you a link to a thread where they discussed how those button tops could compress during flashlight falling but couldnt find it. You dont have to use the stickers but I would. You can also consider epoxying one side, or liquid electricians tape and stuff like that.
