Q8, PMS SEND TO THOSE WITH ISSUES BLF soda can light

Good Day The Miller,

You specced: LEDs on copper stars

But should it be LEDs on Copper DTP stars?

Best Regards,

George

I’m definitely in!!

Also besides the technical ideas that are being discussed now I would like to have an addition to the team helping.
Specifically I am looking for a person living in Asia or Australia (the continents)

This means we can have 24/7 coverage of the process.
Idea is to exchange email.
Talk about set details, coming from this thread and discussion.
The party/parties outside BLF doing the actual fabrication/shipping should sent all communication to the whole team.
We should be on the same page about key specs/ideas.
So we could address things fast and be active in this thread when needed.

Current team:
djozz, led connaiseur first class.
Tom E, driver whizz.
The Miller, talkative enthusiast.
If you want to help here, feel free to send a pm to me.
Thanks.

I love the idea of host only with extra tubes

I’m in for 1.

And I’m a sucker for different tubes. They’re like flashlight legos.

Put me for 1 for now
Already on the list

As the biggest problem with srk’s is the cooling, how about making the head wall 1mm thicker, cutting the fins 1 mm deeper and having them all the way along the head, even though they are only 1mm deep at the bezel.
This should not add much weight but will improve cooling.

Starting to save up now, trouble is finding a new hiding spot that swmbo wont discover and use to feed the family :wink:

In for one, not worried about led or driver those can be changed to suit me later.

Cheers David

ps, This would also make the BLF light different from all the rubbish srk clones :partying_face:

Interesting, just adding a lttle extra cooling.
It does make a difference, I was testing the Darktort and Convoy S2+ te other day. about the same amount of light (Darktort a little brighter), about the same size head. The Darktort has a few very small fins on the head and is stayed cooler then the Convoy. So a little will help.
I think this is something to take along, I mean there must a new head made with integrated shelf, why not tweak the cooling.

I’m in for one, whatever comes out of this effort!
Thanks The Miller for this.

A few thoughts:

I’m split about the direction. On one hand i’d just love to find a plain gd’old 3xXML/2000 lm OTF, simple ‘click and fire’ UI, sub $30 SRK clone to gift around with batteries and charger on top. Everybody loves them. But nowadays i don’t know where to find one.

On the other hand, as a flashlight addict enthusiast, i dream of the ultimate SRK… 10.000 lumens turbo (100W with 3xXHP70?), several well spaced levels, a moon mode and hidden strobe. Fast PWM. What else? I’m not fan of ramping unless there is a physical slider or ring. If the light is designed from scratch i would prefer a more casual body with a good grip and no sharp edges. Neutral white…

Thanks to DavidEF for his idea of the Light-That-Shall-Not-Be-Named. Can’t wait to see it happen… :wink:

yes, count me in for one with an extension tube.

…how about a design that allows “SRK drop-ins”, same as P60 for SRKs?

I don’t suppose a 3x xpl-hi version would be favored by anyone?

Im in

I’m in :beer:

Not a fan of 219c

Add me to the list please!

At that price you can put me in the list.

I would definitely buy one (currently number 17 on the list with a question mark) for the price if the result is a real flooder with a usable turbo of min 4000 or more lumens without a forced stepdown or burning your fingers after 10 seconds …
