yeah i would if i could chose have the logo on the button but i guess thats not possible ?
I would still buy this, but in the same way I still bought my BLF SS/CU X6/X5 set after a non planned logo was slapped into the lights at the very last second before it got into production, with the justification that “this person worked very hard to make this happen, and nobody is forcing you to buy it anyways”.
After a couple years I sold my (at the time) very sought after BLF X6 X5 set because there was not attachment to it, which I’m sure wouldn’t have happened if they hadn’t carried a self-pride logo, that is otherwise pretty much meaningless for me. Not a butthurt rant, just my personal opinion, or maybe even a fact.
Lumintop is proud to produce these lights, and they will receive the recognition nonetheless from the thousands of owners, with or without their logo slapped to it. But speaking as someone who has followed this project since day 1 I would much rather prefer it naked, more custom-like. If lumintop decides to go with the logo I’ll have to stock up some sand paper ranging from 200-1000 grit.
No bunny, please!
Despite some claims from various sellers, for below BBL tint for 2700K, 3500K and 4000K SST-20 leds (I measured quite a few now), I have seen for each colour temperature resp. the same tint every time, for 3500K and 4000K slightly above the BBL, 2700K on/slightly below the BBL. So I wonder if Luminus actually produces anything different, and would be surprised if Neal comes up with a different tint.
I have some 3000K from Hank which turned out to be HB4 (above BBL). I also have some from KD which were listed as HD2 (below BBL). HB4 is yellow, HD2 slightly less so but still yellow none the less despite supposedly being below BBL.
I just found this thread. I smiled when I read the part in the opening thread about No Logo. It was the tipping point when I decided I wanted one. I HATE my life being used as someone else’s billboard, so I avoid logos whenever possible. Then I see in recent posts they put a bunny on the button. It looks good as far as logos go, but now I don’t want one. I have enough flashlights anyway, I’ll live without it.
If someone managed to source those bin the light would look like a red laser pointer on turbo.
You might have missed it (easy to do with so many posts recently):
oh, sweet!
There is a catch though when using the led in a reflector light or with narrow TIR: the light ending up in the hotspot is for the greater part formed by light emitted at an angle, which tends to be closer to or above the BBL, compared to the cone of light straight above the led. So you must start fairly far below the BBL to end with a hotspot that is still not above it.
You weren’t added to the list because the last update was before you manifested your interest in the flashlight!
When the list is updated again, you will see your name.
Great! :+1:
Cheers, after I posted I double checked to see when the last update had happened and it was a couple days prior to my previous post.
Oh well. That’s what I get for posting before my morning coffee.
No problem :+1: 
Keep checkin, but note that updates may take a while to be done!
Please remember my name as well. I definitely want one!
Not really. Djozz already answered with most of the reason why, but there’s also something to be said for rose-tinted glasses. If we actually got the requested bins, it would still not be as pink as people like.
I find the regular duv units a bit awkward, since they’re so small… so I generally use mduv instead — thousandths of a duv unit. Anyway, most of the LEDs we use range from about +5 mduv (cyan/green/yellow) to –5 mduv (magenta/pink). In studies though, they found people preferred about –15 mduv (very pink). So they’re actually considering changing the definition of ANSI standard white because its “pure white” line is so far from what people actually prefer.

( I want a bunny on the lens too for cool wall shots!)
Kind regards
More than +/- 6 mduv is not ANSI white and some metrics of white light, such as CRI become invalid. Examples of ANSI non-white LEDs seen in the flashlight world include the Nichia 219B sw45k (–7-8 mduv at modest current) and the “90 CRI” XP-G3 Olight used in the S1 Mini (+10 mduv on its lowest mode).
The study is really interesting because it asked people what light looked the most natural, and what they picked is extremely rosy and hypersaturated. I like rosy and saturated, plan to put three sw45ks in one of my FW3As, and light my room with a Viltrox VL200T, but I recognize these light sources differ from unfiltered sunlight.
