I’ll buy a silver when ready!
In for silver!
Looks like an interesting competitor of the TN42v2, but cheaper!
Really like the 3x21700 format and size, should be much more practical than a GT90
I was worried that people would want more silver and there would not be enough, I also want a silver lol.
I think you can rest sound knowing that the construction will be the single piece design you see now, they spent a lot of time and money getting that designed as one piece so I doubt they would change it at this point.
Yes, I want to send the prototype to VOB for a video review since he can do that a lot better then me. I have not heard back from him yet though.
In for 2… 1-Black and (if possible) Bare Aluminum…
Thanks, that is nice to know. I realize the one-piece head is more costly and complex to produce. The price seems fair considering all that was mentioned so far. Is there any chance some lower resistance FET’s might be sourced to make their way into the production run? We are, after all, flashaholics!
How difficult do you think it would be to move the charge port to the host in order to avoid having to remove the cell carrier for recharging? Im sure we’re all thinking along the same lines.
If VOB cant find the time to review this light, is there any chance you might be able to shoot a quick video or snap a few pics comparing beams from your GT90 to this new mini-beast (before you mod it)? It would be much appreciated. I think any target way-out-there should suffice.
Well darn… now I see there is a gaining interest in the silver version and it might be difficult to acquire. Do you know if it will be bare AL, clear-coated or ano? Maybe let Wildfire know they should consider making half of their hosts silver.
Sorry for all the questions! 
In for one silver if possible.
Yes, but the best upgrade over those two (it seems) is the Narsil! That is exciting!
In for a silver if possible.
I have a mr02s v2 on order now, but this looks like a upgrade to me!
Edit: I will be fine with a black if silver is unavailable, I would just be ecstatic to make the first round of production.
I am in for a silver one
Really cool light, ticks many of the boxes as far as what I like! Is the battery slots machined into the battery tube or does it have one of those plastic battery holder thingies?
The video shows a separate battery carrier with usb powerbank feature
in for a clear anodized.
lol, no worries. I have not seen any signs or even hints that they want to cut corners while working with them. They have insisted on the better option whenever possible thus far. Time will tell long term but in my time working with them I have been very impressed with the commitment to quality.
They are looking into better FET’s in the carrier for future runs, the issue is the footprint it uses now does not have a lot of good FET options, so it might require a redesign of the pcb. I just got the prototype this weekend and point out this issue so they are just starting to look into it. The existing FET’s work fine or I would not of signed off on them, they are just holding back a few hundred lumens if I had to guess.
Moving the charge port to the light itself would be quite difficult and it would be even harder to have it be water resistance / proof as well. Personally I prefer it like this, you get the best of both worlds but I can see why someone would want it on the body as well. It is not impossible but also not easy. It would require a fair amount of redesign. I can bring this up if enough people want it though.
I don’t have anything good around me to demonstrate throw which is why I gave up on it some time back. If VOB can’t do it though I can send it to someone else possibly or I will try my best to get something usable.
I was tempted to suggest a reversing of the silver/black ratio but I asked around and found that a 25-33% ratio of black to silver is pretty common on other lights so left it alone lol.
They did say that making another batch would not take nearly as long, so when he gets on later I will ask if they can ramp up some more silver lights.
The silver ones are clear ano, I have some raw aluminim lights and while they look great at first, I have had some mild tarnishing on some of them. The Ano protects from this and unless you look close still looks like raw. I told them to not bead blast it so you can still see hints of the machine marks if you look closely.
Can confirm, it has Narsil, same firmware as the GT90.
It uses a carrier but it is not plastic, it is all metal construction and has a built in 2A USB C charger / battery bank.
Im in for a silver.
Yes, I DEFINITELY prefer to have charging on the battery carrier, like the K1, it makes for more reliable waterproofing, a better aesthetic, no worn out "boot" over time, and the option to buy back up carriers for easy swap & go.
Yes please, leave the hints of machining and not bead blast, just clear ano aluminum. A new light of mine just came in (ano aluminum) and has machining marks and it really adds a nice aesthetic. my first one didn't have this and i really prefer it.
That battery tube machining / design is awesome!
I would like silver if available!
