Is dual tone means awful combination on first post? Head and tail cap from one light and tube from another .looks a bit stupid.

That’s unfortunate. I think many people were assuming the prototypes were cobbled together parts just for testing purposes. That is not an attractive look for a production light. Really hope they reconsider and at least give people a way to obtain a single-colored body.

I disagree. The very first post shows the light in it’s two tone configuration. How is that misleading? Someone comes up with something other than solid black and it is unfortunate? We all have our thing, I get that. I’d take it in all champagne color and be happy if it is single tone.

Interested.

No one has said it’s misleading, I’m saying it’s unfortunate that they’re deciding to go this route. The first post has been constantly updated and did not originally have any picture in it. There were also pictures showing the light in single tone formats.

I’m not really into the two-tone look either. I thought it was that way due to making a prototype out of spare parts. It wouldn’t be the first time I’ve gotten a mismatched prototype. But, looking at the first post, the two-tone light is far from the hardest part to look at. The marketing side of things always makes me a bit uncomfortable, especially when it has my name on it.

Is 11/25/18 the updated release date?

Ahh. I thought I remember the first post being different. It’s funny I guess. What brought me to this thread was seeing the two tone photo of the L shaped design in some search. “Cool!” was my reaction to it. That was my initial exposure. I have much gear in FDE or desert tan if you will, guns, knives, etc. Any flashlight with this motif I will be interested in. I plan on getting two.

I like the 2 tone as well. It’s nice to have something a little out of the box sometimes. :+1:

Good move to have this light include a head strap. Fireflies is one of my fav flashlight brands now. As a tip, look into how acebeam has their head strap. They are the only company to have a rubberized material on the inner strap so that the head strap does not move around when placed on your head. Genious idea if you ask me

I guess those pictures misleaded us.

Yes.I like flashlight color in last photo. Dual tone is very strange decision, seems they have problem in anodisation process , and make dual tone from defective hosts.

Could ff make at least 2 version of dual tone?
1)Black tube, white head and tail.
2) White tube, black head and tail.
Than I would buy 2 , and rearrange parts by myself))

Woah!!! Look at that! Solid champagne AND solid black! I can get two and mix and match. This will be welcome news on this thread. Can I see a black tube with champagne ends?…

And I admit I was misled!

Nichia 219b vs SST20 NW 4000K ?

I’ve been away from the forum for a while and I’m not up to date on new LEDs.
I have a few lights with Nichia LEDs and like them a lot, but I don’t know anything about the SST LEDs. What would I gain or lose if I get this light with SST20 instead of the Nichia?
I intend to use this light for relatively close-up use, so I want high CRI, and a smooth, wide, beam. I don’t want a tight hot spot.

That's the spirit! 80+% of my collection is full black light. I am open to alternative colors, including mix tone ones.

It is actually not as bad as you thought.

so is it dual tone?? or is there a choice? and what is the actual date of release?

There bound to be certain degree of color mismatch for non-black flashlight. As long as the contrast is not too obvious, it should not be a huge issue for most.

I knew it would be hard to please everyone with its dual tone finishing, and I did propose FF to consider full black (classic) option last week. FF told me there will only be one color scheme during launch.

Will there be more colors combination to choose from? I guess it will all depends to the sale performance of the initial batch. If you must have the color that you are hoping for, get your voice heard by leaving a comment here. FF visit this thread regularly.

Just give me some amount of champagne… like a magnum bottles worth!
