We can make the BLF Version separately, that’s no problem. And for more max brightness and beam distance, we are trying.

Sigh i didn’t want to have waste extra money on buying an extra SMO reflector might sit this one out. Consider this may add an extra 10-15 USD to the price making the light fall out of many peoples price range!
Very very disappointing considering we already agreed on using an SMO reflector!
No need to get disappointed bro. There are several ways to do this. 1. we make two version lights, which is the original plan actually, one is Sofirn SP70, the other is Sofirn SP70 - BLF Version (you say whatever the change you want, but hopefully the group buy interests is >200 orders). 2. we make one light and two reflectors, the disadvantage is you guys need to purchase one more reflector which is a waste.
What I think a good process is we make Sofirn SP70 asap, some of you will get sample to test, and start the Group buy of Sofirn SP70 - BLF Version, talk about what need to change (it has to be small changes), finally we make exactly the BLF Version for you. It takes longer time but it won’t disappoint you easily.
Cool thanks for the clarification. We are all looking forward to this light
Who is running the BLF group buy us? Or do you want to start the thread?

I like this idea. So the first batch of lights will have OP reflector? How soon do you think this will be available?

You can count on me for sample testing.

I really like the Sofirn SF22 tailcap - more than the one on this SP70. The grip ring is closer to the end which is good for me. I also like the tripod configuration.
Will the two tailcaps be interchangeable?

No, they are very different sizes, 18650 vs 26650.

The SF22 is a MONSTER sized light! I have the extension tube on mine for all 4 cells and it’s a towering behemoth of a light, with TEETH!
And yes, it’s 26650 as well. The tactical ring is a machined part of the actual tail cap. I think it might well fare well here, nice call!
Images circa July 20, 2017 from my review of this light.

The perspective sure makes that tube look thin. I guess it just goes to show how big the entire thing is

4 26650’s in series with the extension cell, it can work with either 2 or 4 and frankly it looks better in 2 cell configuration. Sure gotta be cautious with those pointy acorn screws though!
Edit: Size comparison, beside a Convoy L6 and Convoy C8. The squares in my quilt are ~7”, it’s hand made by members of my wife’s church when we got married… 16 years ago next month.

…
My preference goes to tailcap of #3 . Even if the head of #1 #4 looks better I would prefer the one of #2 #3 #5 .
