AWESOME I WANT IN!
Lots of page here, but I just heard about it. I saw in the original post an unbelievably low price; can anybody clarify what the projected pricing is? Assuming something reasonable count me in for two- do I just sign up to the google doc?
The projected price is 6 dollars. If you are wanting 2, just post on here if you want 3200K or 5600K and how may of each.
At $6 Iām in for two of each 3200k and 5600k!!
2 3200k pls
please put me down for 4 more, so total of 6 Will do 4 at 3200k, 2 at 5600k
I am in for two of the 5600K
Interested in one 5600K. Thanks.
The list is updated through post 685 (GreenLights). Total is now up to 496 lights.
Shortcut to the Interest List.
Just noting that I have recorded these updates. Thanks.
FYI, Iām counting quantities by the minimum interest stated, so I have you updated for 4+1 at the moment.
Based on your follow up post, I have you for 2 of each. Weāll find out actual purchase details from Sofirn once theyāre ready.
Hopefully slowtechstef has time to update the first page soon, but in the meantime, I will try to keep crucial details in the post with the current list on page 10.
Clarifying
2 5600
2 3200
And here are the Monday morning results:
Thanks Docc!
Assuming that the 38 respondents are representative of the about 250 people from the interest list (there is no other possibility than to do that) it sounds like I will ask for the magnet hole and for no trit hole (I will have to find another use for the three trits that I still have).
Letās wait for the results of the other poll and see if those agree with these.
Why no trit slot? The majority says i do not care. Only 1/3 says no.
And less than 1/3 says yes. Or do I interpret it wrong?
I didnāt answer the poll due to some reasons:
I donāt actually mind if it will have tritium slot or magnet hole as I donāt know if I will have a trit to put in there, and I donāt know if I will want a magnet there or not.
Both things will be assessed when the flashlights arrive to my hands and then I will decide.
If, one the one hand, Iād prefer not to have a magnet installed as āstockā , one the other hand, Iād like the possibility to install a magnet later. So, the magnet hole can be handy (even to fill it with GITD powder and epoxy or resin).
And the sames goes for the trit slot.
This means that if I was going to answer the poll it would be a double āI donāt careā!
This is not a personal justification, only a way to interpret the answers (maybe other members felt the same too)!
The proposed design - in which magnet hole and trit slot have place - seems to be a very good option that combines the 4 āneededā things: lanyard/keyring hole, magnet hole, tritium vial slot, tailstading capability!
TheShadowGuy, djozz and iamlucky13, thank you for your work so far!
I know that whatever the final decision is it will be good, even knowing that it will not please all the interested people here!
I just want to have those ābuilt like tanks and almost bullet proofā flashlights on my hands
No, let the slot in. You donāt win anything leaving it out, you need the lenght anyway because of the magnet.
I voted with I donāt care, but let it in it doesnāt harm.
Trit slot is easy to fill in, same for magnet hole - does no harm
Good morning! Here are the results from the survey:
The overall victor is the Noir/Djozz tail, including both the trit and magnet holes.
28 respondents voted for the N/D tail as their top choice. The next highest was the Olight tail at 10 respondents. The N/D tail also had the least 4th place finishes at 3, while the Olight tail had the most fourth place finishes at 17.
21 respondents liked the N/D tail as-is, including both holes. 10 would prefer no holes, 2 no trit, 1 no magnet hole, 1 wants another tail if holes are removed, and 11 donāt care.
As far as other comments go:
The Noir/Djozz tailcap is the best design concept Iāve ever seen. It maintains as much of the circumference as possible, which is what you need for maximum tailstanding stability, but still allows the light to hang vertically. It even lets people install a magnet or a trit according to personal preference, instead of being forced to take whatever the manufacturer thought best. I wonāt use the magnet hole myself, but Iām seriously considering trying a trit for the first time ever. Iām not worried about unused holes trapping dirt, because the lightās going to be waterproof for washing anyway. I can always fill an unused hole with glue if it turns out to be a problem.
Both holes is the best compromise and it makes the light feel more unique having the tail designed by forum members.
No magnets or trits that makes the light longer, side hole might be good. As short as possible and sturdy is my wish.
There were other comments as well expressing opinions on holes, as well as another person mentioning that magnets arenāt great for keychains.
Sounds good to me. Iām please with the tail design. Thanks to all who have contributed to this project so far!
Thanks TheShadowGuy for the poll, the results and the discussion.
LOL, it is not easy to integrate those two surveys, for correct interpretation it is even relevant how many people have filled in both surveys, this overlap is unknown. At least it is clear that the magnet hole is there to stay and there is no grand winner in wether to keep the trit-hole or not.
Iām tempted to (mis-?)use the confusion to my own advantage and ask Sofirn to keep both holes. Keeping the design as is is also the easiest story for them.
Anyone with great objections to this blatant mis-use of democracy?
