Wifey wanna trade for an 08 xterra? Haha… My fiance would probably kill me…

Haterade, you sir on one classy mofo. If you condone a gold DQG then so do I 
:bigsmile: 
:party:
It’s still in the pre-order stage, link in OP.
ok, despite moaning about the mode order I have actually order one.
However despite the PayPal payment completing successfully, when it redirected me back to their website it said payment failed… is this normal? I’ve not bought from these guys before.
Yes, happened to me several times with cnqg. It will be fine, they got it 
Thanks. Good to know.
You should be able to check your order history either at their website, or you can also look in your Paypal history.

Size: (listed in OP)…………………91mm(Length)*26mm(head diameter)*24.5mm(tube diameter)
Size: (listed on FF website)……….90mm(Length)*25mm(head diameter)*22mm(tube diameter)
Which size is correct?
Forgive me if this has already been covered here, I read this whole thread twice and don’t recall seeing it, (but with nearly 300 posts I guess I could have missed it)
the op was a prototype… who knows what changed since though. color for one
Look like the production model has shrunk a bit over the OP. That makes it even more compact for EDC. Hopefully there’s no reduction in output though!365 out of 500 left at pre-order price and 5 days more to go!
If I could pre order one from the original post, I would… But the two offerings now do nothing for me.
Have to agree that the color of the prototype was much more appealing…
Wonder how it would come out if baked ?
I actually quite like the new ‘titanium’ color. I’m not a fan of gold, but it looks more like an olive/natural to me mixed with a little bronze.
It’s nicer than black in type II anyway imo.
By the way, I asked Ric a couple of questions and he says that it has low voltage protection set at 2.5v. He also said that the XM-L2 beam is ‘perfect’ while the T6 3C is ‘very good too’. Implying a slightly better beam profile on the XM-L2, which I would have expected from the lack of current spreaders on the die.
The XM-L version will probably have a lower vf though and he didn’t get back to me on whether it has a boost or just linear driver.
I have a couple of questions about this light. I thought I had read at first that they were all coming out with TIR optics, then I kind of got the impression that only the NW were going to have the optics. If I am not mistaken the optics being used in whichever or both lights is an 11 degree TIR right? This is supposed to be a throwy optic? Sorry I know nothing about TIR optics. I have ordered the XM-L2 CW version and am just curious what I will be getting. I have read the entire thread a couple of times but am still not real clear. Thanks in advance.

11 degrees is a quite narrow optic, but don't expect a thrower here. I see no information about the optic being other than TIR.
What type of science would go into changing the optic if possible to one that’s more flood? I saw a couple with 60° or so.
I skimmed through the posts and didn’t see this info. I currently use protected sanyo ur18650f which are almost 70mm long. I don’t want to order the light and find out my batteries won’t fit.
