An option for Host only. Would be attractive to those of use loaded with drivers and emitters.
Battery tube extensions. So many folks would love to make their SRK’s 2S4P, 3S4P, even 4S4P! The mod options would become endless. Especially, if the tubes could also fit the TK61 and TK75 (The TK tubes fit the M6, but not the other way around).
Interested, in both this version and the baby one. I really like the above described UI. While I like TK’s UI on the A6 and X6/X5, it can be a challenge to quickly describe it to someone when they are using the light momentarily. “Click on, click off, click and hold to ramp it up or down.” is pretty obvious. Without actually showing a noob, “short half press” and “long half press” don’t really mean anything to them.
I am in for several of those depends of stats/price ofc, i would like to see some high binned HML/XPL emitters plus a ramping driver inside, or at least programmable
I love my SupFire M6 with XM-L2 U3 2A’s, Narsil firmware with UI configurable modes from 1 to 8, and UI configurable moon mode level, plus a locator LED next to the switch that can blink out the voltage level as well, nice lockout feature, and latest updates: easy ON/OFF of the locator LED to reduce parasitic drain down to 0.016 mA (10+ years to drain one cell). Goes from 0.1 lumens to 5000 lumens.
Biggest gripe I have on the M6 is the weight, but it helps in cooling, but it’s not the most efficient design for cooling - doesn’t use the mass effectively. Having four 219C’s, it may have potential high amp issues on a FET driver, but depends on some overall component choices.
$40 and 500 pieces is an optimistic goal for what you have listed, though I think there would be a big demand for a quality SRK 4-5 LED light. Having worked on SRKs with 3’s and 5’s, I think I would prefer 5 to 4, with one being centered. If you go with copper MCPCB, much, much better to have one single custom made copper DTP MCPCB to mount all 4-5 LED’s on, but again, probably very costly to do. 4 or 5 individual MCPCB’s is doable, probably costly though for parts and assembly.
For 3 LED SupFire M6’s, you can fit 20 mm MCPCB’s. For 5 LED’s, I’ve fit 16 mm’s but had to trim them down. Not sure of 20’s would fit for 4, but 16’s should with no trimming.
Its never enough m8, just before several months i had 5 modded ones plus 2 M6s - M6 weight could be an issue though, its even heavier than TN36( 445gr vs 388) …yet it still fits in most of my pockets
Anyway it would be a great to have a BLF multiemitter torch
I’m very much interested to see how this comes out. Just fyi… The M6 is a great price at $40, but if you can get that plus an AR lens, 219C’s, copper MCPCB’s, and an advanced driver with the quality of an M6 host (SS bezel, shelf, etc.), it would be a great deal for sure.
