Very much so! This is a big part of why I have been “saving up” the minor changes till we could have a bunch of them done at once to save time.

The rendering by 5ar is absolutely amazing! I say we leave the cosmetic details for last and start to find who can produce the light to our spec.
About the fins, in a light this big it’s not the fins that will get rid of the heat but the mass itself, like the convoy L6 with thick and short fins and it does a good job managing the heat. Now imagine a much larger light, driven at less than half the power… how the fins look are not a concern here 
Actually the power will only be a little lower by the time we are done with it and if a larger quad head is made later that will obviously be much larger. Might as well plan ahead but no need to get crazy.
How about contacting Lumintop for manufacturing? They have experience with big chunks like SD75, also QC from them is on a high level…
I dont think 40mm is smart to use. More common sizes are much better and easier for mods.
Using a thermal sensor to step down to 90% if the body near the led reaches 60 or 65 degrees celsius? If light is colder than that then 2.8A to the led, if it is higher then 2.5A to the led. Job finished. 
Narsil supports temperature control now, so it will have some form of temperature step down although ideally this light will not need it as it should be able to be used for real search and rescue missions as well.
That is very true. I forgot that the L6 has almost no problems, and this is twice as big, and with half power of L6.
Twice as big yes but only a little less power with how we will be driving the LED (about ~30-35w vs ~40w)
Hey, did I read something about hourly wages, nice nice, does that mean i can look for a new car 
LOL
No of course 5ars work is much appreciated for sure.
But so is the work of DEL, Tom, Jerommel, and all that contribute
I really think that with the changes I propose in my previous post both design will come together and do justice to others who have given input.
Yep, knock yourself out ‘The Miller’. Considering what you are gonna make off this deal…… this will probably take care of all the “looking” you need to do. 
I’d like to thank you all for a very-very good job with this GT, and I’m also very proud to be a part of this forum.
Humble is the right word!
Such a great bunch of dedicated people! NICE!!
And I also like the 5ar design, but still felling that thinner and higher fins to smooth out that ‘ledge’ area would be “right”, and just the sight of it would be Awsome!
…haveing som kind of real functionality in it to is just a big also? I think.
This is f…ing awsome guys!! thumbs up!

Please add me to the list !
Shucks, what a ghastly endeavour to get something nice on my screen to propose to you Philistines dear GT enthusiasts… :partying_face:
So i’ve got nothing today…
…. That’s good! … :+1:
I’m glad you’re rolling with the punches Jerommel. You obviously have much goodness to contribute here and I applaud you for plugging on. 5ar stepped in and blew us all out of the water with his renderings but you persevere. Bravo!
If there is any place where “amazing” isn’t accepted as a good enough, it is this wonderful forum. :student:
BLF is the place where all flashlight dreams (and questions) have a voice. :+1:
There are a whole lot of Philistines GT enthusiasts that want to see what you have to say. 
Can I be a Philistine and still like ice cream on my apple pie?
Yep, but only if it is vanilla.
That is rule #17 in the handbook, Things I Need to Know to Be a Philistine
Well, DUH! I’m a Texan, that means Homestyle Vanilla with Vanilla Bean from Blue Bell, the best ice cream in the world. (only right now I am told I cannot have the ice cream, or cheese, or even chew a Tums for this heartburn, as I’m on antibiotics for an ear infection that would bind to the calcium and not be efficient for my system. EGAD!)
So I’m a practicing Cushian at the moment. Horrendous, I know.
There is a certain glee in shining a 7000 lumen TM16 out in the field and showing my 4 yr old 100 lb Labrador where the Jack Rabbits are. He races out after them like he fully believes he can catch them, and is not the least bit despondent to return empty handed. He loves the chase! Tonigh he was completely oblivious to the fox trotting off away from him at some 40 yds while he tried to figure out how to get under a tight barbed wire fence after the Jack Rabbit that got away. Crazy dog.
