Any chance this can be sold as a host version without the mcpcb? Since this is compatible with Noctigon quad mcpcb, it is easy to swap in some mcpcbs with emitters that you can buy from places like virence.com, MTN, intl-oudoors, etc.

^ This and…any clue when this deal might happen? I’ll have to organize my wallet very strickly for the next months and as the “winter is coming”, I’d be glad to know if a data and :money_mouth_face: has been thought about :innocent:

So, when does this deal might happen?

I’d love a light such as this one.

[3.09, 16:40] What is your comment of TO50R after you knew some details?
[3.09, 16:41] Really?
[3.09, 16:42] I think that it is your project especially for my needs
[3.09, 16:44] But if it is not your project, this flashlight is a something that should appear in 2020
[3.09, 16:47] I guess, in 2019
[17.09, 17:29] May I know, what are you planning next after T70?
[17.09, 17:46] P45R or E05

Interested

Confused by this. Who are the persons talking in this exchange? And does it say TO50R will not be available until 2019 or even 2020?

Me and bold - someone from Wuben.
TO50R will be released somewhere in 2019… Now there are 2 flashlights P45R and E05 they are working on.

This thread is the main source of information for this light. If you want to know something, ask here. I’ll try to answer. :slight_smile:

We had a slight delay caused by my requirement of a low enough lowest (moon) mode. Wuben engineers are very professional and didn’t agree on “cheating” with PWM, but decided to change the hardware to get a real low mode. This will require a bit more space, so the square buttons from the 1st drafts are back in the latest plan.

The current schedule is to have samples ready in mid-October. If everything goes like in (good :slight_smile: ) movies, we’ll have a GB in December and hopefully start shipping lights around the new year.

I am extremely interested in the TO50R. I bought a few TO10 and TO46 because of how easy it is to swap in a noctigon triple board. The only thing I don’t like about it is the buttons are black and it is so difficult to find in low light. Also I would hope the power button can be placed at the bottom. With a 21700 tube size, it should be very easy to clear the tail switch without needing any cutouts for your thumb to preserve the tail standing ability.
