I think it looks really interesting, and I can see myself buying one, albeit I wouldn’t use it for “intense search and rescue operations.” There are other, much more suitable flashlights for that. That said, I was expecting a higher price. The MSRP of ~$87 is a bargain for an all copper triple, IMO. There are other copper triples that use short battery tubes which retail for many times that.
When will the flashlight be available for sale?
How is eco mode enabled or disabled?
Is the tail switch mechanical or electronic?
What tint of light, cool, neutral or warm, will each emitter produce?
I can only speak for the SST-20s but I believe 95 CRI is only available in 4000k or 3000k
And c’mon, you know you’ll use your 16340 EDC for all of your “intense search and rescue operations”. What else would you use? lol an X70? Don’t be silly! That’s for finding stuff under the couch!
For those that want 18350, you can get the Mecarmy PS16 Copper Scar . It’s also quad emitter instead of triple but is much more expensive. The XPG3 emitter is not that good though.
“Battle worn” finishes are tacky. I like to put my own battle scars in my stuff. Also, that price just goes to show what I said earlier, that the TK16 price is a bargain.

The TX25cvn from Skylumen is the most interesting. Throws almost as far as the D1S and Mini GT but at about 1/3 the size.
