Eventually, yes. But probably not immediately, since no one in the team has volunteered to do that yet.
I started writing a bot for it, but I got distracted because I have like a zillion* projects and other things to do. The most recent project aims to make all the others a bit more manageable and help me avoid neglecting any for too long.
* “Zillion” currently means 7445 individual tasks, according to the new meter, but I haven’t finished writing conduits so it’s not yet aggregating all relevant data.
It might be best to log out of the team account when you make posts in the thread so that people know who they are talking to. It will help to avoid confusion.
I used the shared account there mostly just as a way of announcing that it exists… and then promptly changed back to my account.
Not planning to use the account much… I don’t think Fritz likes me messing with his underpants. But if I do need to post something, I’ll probably sign any future messages to avoid confusion.
Hey, maybe you could copy and paste post #1854 into post #3. Then it would be easy to find that info and pictures. That’s what I would do if I was on the team.
I haven’t looked at this thread in some time. Nice to see this project coming along. I actually feel the new design is preferable. I understand the minimalist style and appreciation of the original and like it too but these pics above seem more appealing to me. I like the clip too. The clip on my Manker E14 makes me worry because it “clips” onto the light as well (I just feel like it could accidentally push out/unclip when hanging on my waist). This FW3A looks like a good EDC or ‘go to’ light for me.
Thanks to the members picking up the slack from Miller’s absence :+1:
Question for those that use a pocket clip… do you put the light inside your pocket with only the clip showing outside or the opposite of that? To me it makes no sense to have the flashlight outside the pocket where it could get snagged and ripped off the clip, lost or broken. My son-in-law carries his X6 with the light outside, or used to, back when he used it frequently during his night shift.
In the same sense that a folding pocket knife with a clip goes inside the pocket, displaying only the clip, I carry a small flashlight clip out, light protected inside the pocket.
I used to like clips until I realized carrying the light inside the pocket defeats the purpose of a clip. Maybe they should be called belt clips? Today I find a clip useful in a flashlight if it’s reversible so I can use it as a headlamp on a cap brim
To my way of thinking, the clip keeps the light up at the edge of the pocket ready for a quick grab and also away from loose change and keys and such. If the clip were to get hung up and ripped off the light, the light would merely fall into the pocket. So the clip is just a way to keep the light close to hand, ready to grab if and when needed.
I carry lights inside my pocket with the clips showing outside.
I can comfortably pocket carry lights up to the size of an X6 in most of my pants and shorts.
While hiking, I wear a floody headlamp and use a thrower when looking for a landmark or trail.
I frequently clip an X6 to my backpack’s shoulder strap or outside the breast pocket of my shirt or vest, but very rarely outside my pants pocket. Seems risky.
