New to forum. New flashaholic. Electronics pro in the past. Love that new upcoming light in ti. Like the machines finnish.Getting one. Like to see the Damascus clips.Regards D.E.
Welcome and enjoy your trip down the rabbit hole
The shorty sold me. Pmt sent. My first Ti Reylight. 
… oh noooo
I clicked bored around the BLF and then just thought of you and saw that you posted again … :nerd_face:
bad for my balance I think …:person_facepalming: you still know me ? 
until when i have time to search for some of my children a new home, to get pre-sale prices ? :smiling_imp:
A pic of ano’d FYI. The Dawn might have some other colors and patterns.
Yes sure, I still remember you. How you doing?
Those ano’d ones look awesome, especially the one on the left :sunglasses:
Borrow your photo to share…. :heart_eyes:
Oh my, here we go again with another nice light….
I’m in. beadblasted.
This driver is better
Does the extension tube align correctly with the body in this updated version?
Looking carefully…it doesn’t seem to be milimetrically aligned… 
Alignment of the particles, I believe it will be more difficult than the tail cover printing alignment button.
Although I also really want to….
Some of them are still not perfect.
We machined the vertical line with the extension threaded to the tail. Each extension tube matches one tail.
However, they were by man hand, some have different tensity. And the machine has some effect on them as well.
What are the diameter and length in 18650 and 18350 configurations?
Could we get some clarification on the Triple Ti Dawn Clips:
Is a screw-on Ti clip included with each light?
If included, does the clip match the ordered body finish (machined, stone washed, bead blasted , anodized)?
How do we order flamed, anodized, Mokume and/or Damascus clips, and can we order a light now and then add a clip or clips to our order when details are finalized?
When you say “compatible with SF clips”, do you mean Solarforce T1, or how about Oveready 1.0 (https://www.oveready.com/flashlights/accessories/clip-store/)?
TIA
Payment sent. One Nichia stonewashed, thank you
Dia is 25mm, 18650 length 112mm, 18350 length 83mm.
Yes, screwed on clip. Included. Clip matches the flashlight body. Flamed or Ano’d clip will cost a few extra $. You can pre-order the light now, and decide on the clip later.
SF= steel flame, same screw size, hole size.
This looks like a nice upgrade from the original. I have an original that I bought as an empty host, then configured how I like — Nichia 219B ~4700K 92CRI and a FET+1 driver with lots of extra modes. I keep it in 18350 shorty form. It’s still one of my favorites, years later.
Ish. I wouldn’t really trust Bistro’s thermal regulation here. It works okay-ish in a BLF X6v2, which has lower power and higher thermal mass, but it was never meant to handle a triple in titanium.
I love that pattern on the left, with the blue and magenta blend. I hope I can get something like that some day. 
The H17F has some downsides:
- Increases the cost per light. For legal reasons, the hardware cannot be mass-produced and there is a license fee for each unit.
- The code cannot be modified for this project.
- Its thermal regulation is very slow, probably too slow for a titanium triple. However, this is probably also true for Bistro.
- Configuring the light is even more complicated than the current driver.
- Can’t do med-press, so no reversing.
My main concern with both drivers is the slow thermal regulation. I improved that quite a bit in Crescendo, and again in Anduril, but this isn’t the type of light which can run Anduril.
Crescendo could work, but it’s a little awkward and I’d at least want to update it first. Also, it doesn’t have regular modes or mode groups, which can be considered a drawback. Instead, it has ramping only… and some misc blinkies. Ramping on a clicky is kind of neat, but also kind of awkward. For example, with memory disabled, each use must ramp up from moon. Or with memory enabled, there is a delay before going to the memorized level.
Of course, the user can just be careful to avoid overheating when using the light. That works too, and is a good idea regardless.
