At least, upgrading my L6 to XHP70.2 in my opinion turned the light from meh to pretty 
(it would win me over for this group buy)
Opposite for me. Xhp70 in 1A or 1D was so pretty, but 70.2 introduced a bold yellow corona. Eh, at least it’s brighter with a smoother hotspot.
I must say I like a distinct hotspot.
And my upgrade was 4000K 80CRI, it has the yellowish corona but it still looks good because the hotspot itself is not blue-ish in comparison (like the XP-G3 does in a reflector light). Not sure what a cool white XHP70.2 hotspot looks like.
I still love XPG3s lol I have a few in C8s and i see nearly no artifacts. The beam profile is nice. To me they look the same to a XPL2. It may also depend on the tint?
i understand. in that case i’m gonna have to withdraw my IOI. nevertheless, thanks to the team!
Please add 1 holster and a set of cells for #172
Ok already! I give!
I am in for,
2x) K70
2x) smooth reflectors - separately if possible, in the lights if not.
5x) holsters
extra centering rings
A bit off topic, but………
Am I the only one who seems to buy 2 of the same light to have a “control” version to test my mod one against?
Please add 3 holsters to mine (184 )
Thanks
I have read through every page and see little detail about the driver. I understand it is not fully finalized just yet, and am guessing thats why.
Many have wondered about the UI. As do I.
From what I can recall after 20 pages, is it still going to be
Moon
Med
High
Turbo - w/3minute timer
will this be w/ another 3 minute timer ? or no timer ?
I first took this to mean reverse as in from high to medium as one “medium press”, and medium to low as another………
The wording however has me wondering if this is not meant as full reversal of the modes….
L, M, H, T
Medium press to make it
T, H, M, L
However I do like the battery voltage monitoring/warning on the lighted side switch. Nice touch there I think. :+1:
What control chip are you using on the driver ?
Perhaps, if the driver is using an Attiny 25 or other common chip, those who want other UI (or someone w/the expertise ) could simply flash it w/Narsil or whatever they chose at a later date.

PS.
Forgive my over-site if any of this has been answered already. Reading all the info in this thread in one go, I well could have missed or already forgotten some of it.
This light is based on the Thorfire S70S, so it will probably be similar to that UI. 5 levels with hidden moon. No backwards cycling. It’s doubtful there will be any Attiny chips used.
I guess they are still working on it, so no one can say for sure what will be the final design.
Put me down for the piece and the holster.
Thanks.
Yea i am not sure what is going on with the driver. I would assume they are using a standard driver just worked? It would of been good to see a FET +1 installed.
Interested.
Interested in one light (OP) and $15 batteries.
Possibly interested in charger. (details??)
Please add me to the list for one.
I am in for one + holster and cells.
I’m guessing the light won’t be available for sale until sometime next year or is there some hope for an end of the year release?
Interested in one, please add me
I want one … light plus cells
I want one (OP). Plus batteries and holster.
