I really like the new tapered tube a lot better.

I understand why he might feel this way. The general design and UI are established, but the specifics are still elusive. Tapered or not? Bead-blasted or “right off the lathe?” Emitters? Options? Date?
Agreed. It’s already April and still no sign that this project is actually moving ahead. Are we looking at December 2018 release? June 2019?
Lumintop is supposed to be making the light.
I may be wrong, but I think Lumintop may be waiting to finish the GT production before beginning to start on this light
It looks like an intriguing light, if it ever happens, so I would like to express my interest in two.
However I have my doubts about the complexity and precision (and weaknesses) needed to make the co-axial tubes purely to put an e-switch in the tail, instead of a simpler side switch in the head (my preference anyway).
Discussion of the aesthetics, taperings, raw or bead blast finish seem incidental to me. I will take it, provided it is is a marvel of packaging, performance (luminous and thermal), UI (not in doubt) etc.
Then there is the question of the manufacturer, and their willingness to perform. Presumably this would be their second special, following the GT. I’d like to think they will cope better with production and distribution this time, having learned.
Still hopeful, if this comes off it could be quite special.
Last I heard, Lumintop has a spreadsheet of things to change or fix and should now be working on a second round of prototypes. I’m not sure if this is being held back by the GT or any other projects, but I think we’ve just been waiting on Lumintop for the past month or two.
The new year most likely was the biggest reason for delays.
Is there any chance that this thread ownership would be transferred to a team account as it has been done for the GT thread? That would help keeping the first post and title up to date…
Thanks for keeping us informed with what you know TK 
It had been done a while ago…
See post #1 
Ditto.
Remember this is a Taschenlampen project, with major input from BLF gurus. See Lumintop FW3A - TLF Sonderedition: hier nur Bestellthread [Beendet] | Taschenlampen Forum

Please help,
Do you want to be on the list now?
Or, do you have doubts?
It’s a list of interest,
Not obligated to buy,
Important, do not enter if you doubt
We wish to transmit to Lumintop a reliable number of interested parties.
Thanks for the link!
Thank you very much. I will prove it.
Yeah, the tapered tube really makes it look luxury. I also like the new finish a lot more than the finish in the renders!
Yes, definitely one, if as expected another too. So please put me on the list for two.
I am also definitely interested in one, possibly two. I thought I expressed my interest in this project some time ago but it seems my name never found it’s way onto the list.
THANKS
