Will you have the sft40 5000k?
Wow… it’s beautiful! I can’t wait to try it out, looks like a great design! 
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
What a beautiful light. The knurling on the tube looks very pronounced, how does it feel? Does it have USB charging?
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.
I can't wait to buy five of them!
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.
Very very nice Hank!
Other than the knurling differences, will it be using the same tube as the K1? i.e. 21700 with built in charging?
A nice deep red would be lovely!
You forgot purple - in that nice matt ano finish!
Orange
I will be jumping on this the moment they are released with the SFT40. Hopefully in 5000k.
Great job, Hank! I’m very excited for this one.
I’m still hoping for purple.
+1 Deep violet color
White, Deep red, Teal are other colors I think would be nice
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.
B35AM & the frosted optic seems like it will be an excellent combo. We’ll just have to wait and see, but I imagine it will have a floodier beam that will make it great for general use, while still having some solid throw - my personal favorite style of light. As a thrower though, and all-around, SFT40 seems ideal. To hear that XHP35 has some rings (and needs a frosted optic) is a bit of a downer, but again we’ll just have to wait and see.
I’m more than likely going to review the Nichia version, it’s just very unique and will really set this light apart. I’ll likely get an SFT40 light as well.
Also another vote for deep red or white, I think those would look sick! …anything is better than black though :laughing:
I’m very excited for a B35A light from Hank. I tend to go for balanced performance and efficient drivers over minmaxing performance attributes and FET/linear drivers. I’m hoping this ends up more efficient than the K1/XHP35 driver, which isn’t great on max output.
This would make me buy it in an instant!
Hank will put LH351D emitters in his lights? Oh man, now I want another D4V2! The SP36 BLF makes some of the nicest light in my collection.
Just ordered a D4V2 with 219B in 4500K, all this hype better be worth it! j/k
Not about the order though. Looking forward to see what a 219 optic looks like. Traveling further down the rabbit hole……
Will the new light have a new driver? Any details?
