Iām also thinking of withdrawing my order if one of those win. For me, number 2 is the only design that is badass enough to be a million candela light.
Well, i didnāt vote for #3 (my attempt) either.
I think my earlier ones were better actually, maybe sat too long behind the screen, i dunnoā¦
Still not exited about #2 though, and #1 needs some work too i.m.o. but has the most potential.
Maybe in the end weāll have something we all can live with.
We are not building a beauty queen, but a thrower flashlight. I will buy it no matter what it will look like.
I PREFER the heatsink fin design of option two most of all.It seems enough for those who want to throw in XHP70 LEDs into the light. The knurling is pretty awesome but not super necessary and the head design again is awesome, but a basic cone shape like option 1 is fine if it keeps the cost to a minimum. Thanks
Iām torn between 2 designs that I really like, kind of deciding between 2 beautiful womenā¦
Create a new account so you can vote for both. 
If knurling is needed on any light it is this one. At over 3lb it will need every bit of grip it can get. Lack of knurling is not an option IMHO. Remember the battery tube will be a SRK sized tube, that is already hard for some people to hold onto with extra grippy surface.
The cost will be basically the same between 1 and 2, if anything 2 would be a bit cheaper due to less mill work needed (aka, almost everything can be done on the lathe)
One or three look good to me. Two and four look a little too unbalanced (big and/or heavy head).
The weight between them is all very close, IIRC 2 was actually a bit lighter with the last weights I saw.
Matte sand blasted finish will do the job too.
In a search and rescue situation where things always seem to be wet and dirty, I just donāt see that being enough.
Maybe youāre right.
Depends on how matte / sand blasted it is too.
But i donāt think the market for the GT is the āprofessional worldā of search and rescue.
Thanks!
You seem to be one of the few that likes #3.
Iām a bit disappointed in the result myself actually, i voted for #1.
Are you talking about the head or over all host Weight?
I like #1, but I donāt think I like the red color rounding the button. Maybe different color or just same color with the button would make it look better?
design one looks good but needs more grip
Voted. I like them all, so it doesnāt matter to me which one wins. Glad to see #5 has a few votes.
- looks unique and high-end. The others remind me too much of existing lights.
Small details like that are definitely not set in stone, so donāt worry about it 
The main thing is the shape/style of the flashlight body.
You would be surprised what āprofessional search and rescueā means. Generally things like flashlights are left up to the āman on the groundā to get for themselves save for maybe a cheap light or a old school ālanternā.
Same with cops, firefighters ect. They are pretty much on their own when it comes to this type of equipment and generally wholly under equipped due to not having the funds to spend on good tools.
Heck most of the cops around me, even though they are some of the best paid and top cops in the country, still have nothing more then a basic ~50-100 lumen AA powered flashlight. If that in many cases, I know some that use the 9 led jobs from walmart!
I could actually see this light being very popular with āprofessionalsā from all walks of life form police to firefighters to search and rescue (which is usually a combo of the prior ones) to farmers and more.
