:open_mouth: it’s alive! Is it me or is this significantly lighter than the previous version? Is this the final colour?

Just what the doctor ordered!
Take one, and if you are not feeling better, take one more.

Nice, Nice. Thank you for the eye candy :+1:

Looks pretty sweet!

It can be hard to tell how dark a shade of grey is in a photograph. If it helps at all, here’s how it looks in the packaging. This pic is from Neal:

TK, I hope that one is for you to make the “final” test and your magic with the FW :+1:

Thanks TK. Looks the same then, just a difference in lighting. :+1:

:heart_eyes:

Oh now thats a nice comparison. Its like D4 sized while being more practical and tail e-switch. Cant wait for this to come to prod.

Wow, so excited, that looks brilliant for what I need it for, can’t wait to have it in my hand, many thanks for the update

Looking good!! Thanks to all for the updates & pics. :+1:

I’m on the list for one light currently. I’d like to add 2 more, so total of 3 lights.

Nice comparison photo!

Is there a preferred method of polishing frosty optics?

There’s no magic, just use finer and finer sand paper, I’d start with 1000 grit and go up to 7000, end with plain copier paper for the mirror finish. Try not to touch the reflector cups while sanding, if they got scratched/fingerprinted you will loose light.

Ah glad I asked, I would have polished everything! Are the reflector cups the areas in the red circles?

No.
I think for good polishing you need to take out the optic. Then put the sand paper on a very flat surface and sand the optic on the sand paper. Once taken out you are in danger of touching the back side which should stay extremely clean and preferably never touched at all.
