I would like add to the list
Iām swimming in flashlights. 
But I donāt have one of the most recent prototypes, so I donāt know if theyāre ready for production or if there are still things to fix. From what Iāve heard, there were two, and Neal sent them to Fritz and Cawi. Hopefully theyāll have time to test the prototypes soon, and post the results.
Thereās been about 350 posts in the last 2 months.
These projects always have lulls where we are waiting on the manufacturer to finish a prototype, etcā¦
We are basically in hibernation mode until there is new info to post.
count me in for one.
Oh good ..i live near Fruition ...
shipping should be fast
ā¦ /\ ā¦ :+1:
Does anyone know if there is an estimated price?
$30
$30 - $36, depending on emitter.
I will, of course, take 1..... :))
Samsung LH351D
Thank You everyone for your work on this project
Iām in for one.
Interested based on final specs
Emitter voting already happened and the the team requested that Lumintop produce the two top options: Cree XP-L HI and Samsung LH351D.
I wouldnāt expect large differences in runtime between either of those an the XP-G3. At higher outputs, thermal throttling is going to be the major factor: the sooner and more it throttles, the longer the battery will last. That may not be how you want to get your runtime. Efficiency between the three is quite close when the LH351D is 90 CRI, which is what has been requested. Efficiency of a lower-CRI LH351D is higher than the XP-G3 or XP-L HI, but nobody has seriously advocated that option for this light.
With the shift that XP-G3 leds produce (even 5000K 90CRI), they would make this light a lot less interesting!!!
So, I hope that the leds that won the voting can be put in place! Iāll still try to swap some Luxeon V into it (if I donāt like the Samsung) !
Ah Thank You, forgive me, I didnāt have the time to read all the posts.
Iāll trust wahetever the community selectedā¦
The Luminus SST-20-W in 4000K, 95 CRI seems like a good candidate for a swap too.
That would be great, if theyāre open to the suggestion. I havenāt bothered digging up the tests various users have done to get an idea which should have the higher output between that and the LH351D, but a tiny bit nicer tint and throw compared to the LH351D should make a hoped for high CRI version even better.
Interested in 1. Maybe 2 depending on final specsā¦

TK said earlier in the thread that itās probably too late to request a different emitter. This would be a DIY swap - either reflow yourself, or hope someone who offers that as a service picks up the SST-20. Mountain Electronics already carries the SST-40, so it seems likely enough.
The LH351D has higher output and efficiency than the SST-20, but a considerably larger emitter area, giving it less throw.
