Hi gang,
This is the production version of the light I build for the BLF made from scratch competition last year.

If you would like to get yours in this batch, don’t wait! Here is the link to the presale.

Yep that’s it. Link in the OP should be fixed now LOL 
Yikes… that’s disappointingly expensive. Nice looking light though.
Yeah it is, was hoping for something in my price range… And agree, beautiful light
I know this is blf and we like budget lights here, I do too, but I think the price on this light is good. It’s significantly cheaper than a Sinner or a Sigma, nearly half the price of an Okluma or McGizmo, and a third the price of an Overready Boss or Hanko. If you’re comparing it to factory made Chinese stuff then yeah, it’s expensive. But apples-to-apples this isn’t a bad price at all.
:+1: … /\ … Agreed.
Thanks. Based on some of those exact lights is what make me think the project had merit
I have adjusted the price since your first post, to try an include as many people as I can. Still won’t rival BLF group buys, but I hope this helps
Very fair price if I may say so myself. are the emitters and driver user accessible if I want to change anything?
Are you able to supply screws or specify a size? I have plenty of McGizmo and Okluma clips that I’m assuming will fit, but I dont have screws
They are a 4-40 x 1/8” long screw. If you don’t have any, I can hook you up…
Awesome! I’ll be purchasing one with the 219c, I suspect the 3000k and brass will be beautiful. Just waiting for some money to come in for a light I’m selling and it will be going to you! (I made a resolution to not spend any cash on lights, at this point I’m just shifting assets 
)
You should post it to reddit and “spam” (not literally) instagram with it too, great entry point into the custom light market, and unique with the tint and battery choice.
Yeah this price adjustment makes this light very appealing. I liked it before, now I’m seriously tempted. Ugh, like I need another light… 
Looks great, though out of my price range.
Beautiful light, but way too expensive for my taste.
Added a beam shot to the OP.
In this case, i prefer a pineapple 
Or even better, my pineapple
Again, I don’t really disagree. The Pineapple is a great little brass light. But you’re not really comparing apples to apples here (apples to *pine*apples? ). This VOB light is made in the US by a small-batch production facility, (hopefully) with very high standards and abilities using top-shelf stock. And its got a completely different emitter setup being a triple with optic, different switch, etc. The clip he’s using on this light cost over half what an entire Pineapple does…
So yes, I get that there’s more value in the Pineapple. I’ve got a Pineapple and its a good light - a great light for the money. But I have no reservations about ordering the VOB EDC either, because I see the value in what it offers too.
She’s a beauty but the price isn’t all that great for what you get. It’s better than it was to begin with but still excessive. It’s not a Sinner, a Sigma, an Okluma, a McGizmo, an Overready Boss, or a Hanko. I can understand that VOB would like his lights to be established as such but they are not at that point yet. It is a triple that is made out of brass, plain and simple. Maybe the price would have a little more merit if the light was built around a 18650 but since it’s a 14500 based triple, the run time isn’t all that great. Don’t get me wrong, I love 14500s but if I’m going to put that much money towards a light I would want it to have more run time/bigger battery. I’m sure VOB had/has a lot of overhead going into the project as most start out that way but to me it just doesn’t justify the price of the light. I’ve built many triples and minus the host, you’re looking at $35-$45 for parts. So, I don’t want to pay $140-$205 for a brass host. I don’t have an unlimited amount of money like Ozy does
18650 triples (and quads) are plentiful. 14500 - I found no other. I view this light as a much more pocketable, though weaker alternative to 18650 pocket-rockets.
Most 18650 triples and quads that are “plentiful” (not customized/modded) are fairly new to the market. I’d say they’ve only started being produced within the last year and a half maybe. Before then, you’d have to build your own or have someone build one for you, now you can just buy one from just about any place that sells flashlights. As the market progresses, I’m sure they’ll become available. The only 14500 triple/quad that can be built that I know of right now is the BLF X5 and the Astrolux variants. I’ve built many.
Ridiculous logic and not how branding/marketing/pricing works.
Same can be said of almost any custom (and plenty production) lights on the market, from $20 Jaxmans to $1200 Hankos
We’ll have to see if it is truly more pocketable. Stated dimensions are not very small.
