The throw could be a bit lower than expected for the XHP35 and B35AM versions, since in order to eliminate the black hole,
we use slightly frosted optic. Other LEDs versions like Osram, SFT40 stilll use the small angle optic in order to reach longer throw.
OH mighty Luxwad, may I ask which emitter you are leaning towards? I was initially excited about the B35AM, but am worried the output would be underwhelming. Maybe thinking sft40
That is the most beautiful flashlight I've ever seen! The color, the knurling on the battery tube, the head design, the lighted switch, everything looks so perfect together Hank! Really well executed design and what looks like a thought out design.
Hank, green is one of my favorite colors for flashlights..
BUT...
A NEW COLOR option for the completely new design light?!?
-----------------------------
my vote goes for:
Dark Gray
Green
Orange
Orange would contrast all of your other colors, so it would be different enough to justify making a new color.
and no need for black, anyone who wants a black flashlight can literally buy any other flashlight in the world. And your dark gray is so nice that I think people that want black would be happy with that.
Purple would be a nice signature color for this light indeed. May you also have variable battery options including 18650, 21700, 26680 and larger if possible.
