Count me in for one
Regards Xandre
Here’s what I was pointing at… (didn’t spend much time on the picture so please don’t critique, the general idea is there)
That is a good idea actually, it would be cool if the reflectors could be made deeper as well but then it would not be a plug and play swap to the stock SRK reflectors.
Well we warned Thorfire that a definite outside head is needed to close this chapter and move forward to other things.
When writing the email it was just the bezel and button for the outside…
Deeper reflector no for reasons mentioned.
An extra 8 mm for two extra fins and more mass could be proposed if we do not receive a CAD that is good for the outside fast and others think so.
Interesting driver V5 ia brought to attention and all talk is about fins. I assume that means good job on the driver 
I see no reason to mess with the larger body just for it’s own sake but like you said if there are any other issues might as well see what can be done about that at the same time.
Me thinks so :+1:

Please put me in for one of these flashlights.

Ah will update OP later.
Any comments on the new V5.1 driver board design by PD68 after DEL and Tom have tested and experimented on V2/V3 to get to this major overhaul?
The Miller, I can say that I like the new board, but it will be meaningless, since I don’t know anything about drivers and PCB layout. I’m trusting that since there is plenty of testing going on with such talented guys, the driver board will be as close to perfect as possible before we’re through. I do appreciate all the effort, guys. I just don’t understand it well enough to make any significant contribution. 
I think most of the discussion which was to happen has already happened in the firmware thread. As far as I can see, it could very well be the final version. The only thing which might be nice to have is the full list of component values instead of having to dig around various threads.
Put me down for two pls :+1:
Yes fixed it Tom is working on it and I will put it in the OP.
I see a lot of changes (and was lucky to see all the pms about it)
A cool thing in my layman eyes is the move of the Q8 vias to the center so cell buttons have a smooth surface now.
Will update latest people for interest list later.
I had not even noticed that part, being too focused on the new parts. It does look like a good idea to make it last longer. Great thing about this team is there’s always someone to think of every little detail.
Havnt been on this thread in awhile I was wondering how thick of a copper disk is going to be used for the batteries to make contact if it’s like other srk type lights the button tops scrape and eventually wear into the disk that makes the contact and delivers the current. Just wondering if a heavy duty thick gauge disk is being used? any update on the time line on a finished product? Maybe Christmas time?
Christmas if we’re lucky, maybe longer. Done well, these things don’t go fast, but done well, they’re worth the wait.
It will only wear out if you actually use it?

Yes, it absolutely would be.
I suppose M6 contact ring is made from brass.
Brass,copper, gold, the point is mute, won’t be implemented do to cost? But again most won’t get used to the point of wear thru? Most! To add - nice thing about the contact ring, is I can run flat tops too. The light meter showed more LUX using the 30Q’s Flat tops over the 25R button tops.
Well it would be great to have a better contact area then the srk clones of today.
Whether it is a better contact material or a flat disc it is something that needs to be addressed. Due to the driver retainer ring it might just be needed to have a thicker contact area in the form of a disc but we are waiting on new CADs before we get into this.
