Tempting to say the least. Have an X70 on back order from Illumn for a month tomorrow, not sure if should cancel and order this; would love to see a review on this beast first though.
Speechless… Texas Ace I have to hand it to you, I would be pretty upset between the fact they launched this without letting you know, then told you the light was shipped but got returned to sender.
And now this. Another cluster duck of a deal.
It was a group effort design. I gave them the base idea and they figured out how to make it work / turned it into a CAD design that could be used. My hand drawn sketches were not up to being manufactured to say the least lol.
Although my idea (and what they were supposed to do for the final light) included a PCB between the stacked cells to both help hold them in place and prevent cells from being inserted backwards.
Not necessarily a terrible thing for those of us that have tons of 18650’s laying around.
Only thing I wish could have been designed differently is the reflector. In the video on youtube of the prototype, posted by the gentleman in ausy that you sold it to, you can really see the points of the 4 individual cones around each led. Wish it was just a smooth circle of light instead.
