What are you referring to might I ask? 
+1 to that. Your a life saver Mr. Scott……
Yeah thanks again so much Mr.Scott!!
Wit? No switch to 3 LEDs
Modders have made smart modifications to the tail PCB so the tail can be used to load cells
The Boss1 had nubs and a good alignment where other companies go for a rotating tail PCB
I’m number 340 on the list.
Someone from work wants a stupidly bright light and I think will qualify.
Can I be added again so I get another one?
Thanks
I am happy that the light is “finished”!
But now that the luminus sst-40 is out (with real low Vf) i find it really a pity that we did not go for the dualfoodprint leadboard. Is there a plan for a GB in place for a dual leadboard?
You can make a plan, I once had a quote from Kerui Electronics for about 8 euro per board, 50 minimum. The contact is Sundy and she is on BLF under the name “leo ou”. The boards that they make seem high quality (my N119 boards come from there).
I do not have the funds to backup a project like that but i started a interest list to check if we could get enought people togeter to make it happen.
Hi, FNG here. Can you summarize the perceived advantages of what you're suggesting and outline any other changes that would be required?
Thanks!
Please put me down for one.
Pssst: the new LEDboard discussion is over there: Q8 Dual footprint, quad LED copper DTP LEDboard interest List
The advantages of a Dual footprint quad LED copper DTP LED board are that you can use all kind of LEDs in this light. At the moment you can only use LEDs that use a XP footprint like XPL, Nichia 309/319A, Nichia 219c. . … But no XM-L LEDs no SST-40 no XHP50.2 . . .
The new ledboard would allow you to use this LEDs. Some (with different Voltage) would require a driver change and spring PCB mod, some like XPL2, XM-L, SST-40 and some more would only require a LED change. And you may ask why would someone do this?
Many reasons! To get a more prefered color temperatur, or LEDs with a higher CRI, or more output, better throw . . .
Simple it gives you an easy option to mod your light.
what is a spring pcb mod?

Thanks hank!
Interesting, thanks for sharing that info…. :+1:
Great info. Thanks!
That’s great. Apparently I was reading an old survey that was posted. I somehow found an old survey and didn’t realize it was last April not this April Q6/Q8 How many emitters build in it? this is a long buildup and even longer thread and hard to keep tabs on what exactly is happening when you don’t have time to read but a few of the posts here and there every month!
I’m 1300 and 1301 on the list, could you please add 2 more to the list for me. My brother and neighbor will be very happy receiving these as gifts. Thanks
yes will do!
Prototype 3, sample 7 is in!
Already in pieces, photos to come. It is absolutely remarkable value for money!
One issue with the MCPCB solder mask de-laminated on one edge (without any soldering yet).
