Stainless you say? I will ask on that as well, no promises that they will, but I will ask…
Well that is better than a full review when the significant other who is not into flashlights claims your latest…
I would like tailstand as well, but it seems to be a tradeoff, much more complex to redesign the tail than to just change the attachment point to a more keyring friendly design. I am going to see if a larger flat spot can be integrated to give some ability, but we will see…
The stock ones that are at Banggood now, have the normal hole like in the pictures. When this group buy goes on, we are hoping to get a larger hole and redesigned attachment point. Cost should be the same for the aluminum, copper will be $20 or under.
Looks like I have to order a couple to a few of these after CNY. Mine has tried to walk away three times already...and it has been all girls because it is "so adorable"
I received my A01 yesterday, popped an Eneloop into it and … nothing.
Tried another (freshly charged) Eneloop … nothing.
Peered into the tube to check the contacts, everything looked clean.
Then I remembered what had happened with my blue Convoy S2 short tube. There was an infinitisimally small amount of anodization that had crept over the edge, blocking contact.
So, I tried sanding the edge of the body tube down. 10 seconds worth of effort. Voilà! It worked!
The copper version is a perfect candidate now that we know that we can use a 10440.Not sure if there is DTP underneath the emitter but this light has much modding potential in a copper version.
Stainless would be a nice addition to keep in stock form if they can handle all the different requests with colors etc.
Either way...if the SF-348 can do 2000 units this can do at least 1000 if not as much as the SF-348. It is most definitely worth the dough.
