Interested in the next BLF/Manafont custom light?

And please, low low= less than one lumen.

with High output oVER 9000!!!

sorry...

yes, whatever light you pick, its likely Ill still want one. Im happy with a Farka, also provides for potential conversation starters (as mentioned in another forum somewhere) "thats a bright farka you got there!"

I just managed to source a meter of 25mm alum bar stock, So ill be trying to make my aspheric XP-G headlamp in the mean time!

hehe ive succeeded in nailing jello to the wall. believe it or not, it can be done

Alright, I want a pocket sized flashligh with the following features:

Interchangeable bodies that accept 1xAAA, 1xAA, 2xAA, 1x16340, 2x16340, 1x17670, 1x18650, 2x18650 or 3x18650.

Interchangeable heads, one with 5 XM-L T6 emitters, 1 XP-E R5 with a flood-to-throw aspheric (glass only), 1 with an XP-G S2, and one with 1 XM-L T6. All neutral white, of course.

Also, driver module that screws in to the middle, is completely programmable via a standard USB port, can accept the voltage ranges of all the battery combinations above, and has a ramping mode of .5lumens - 2000 lumens (battery and emitter dependant max), and hidden variable strobe modes.

IPX-8 waterproof, HA-III coating, with a drop rating of 10 metres on to concrete. Choice of reverse or forward clicky, as well as a tape switch option.

Also, a variety of colours would be nice.

Under $20, please.

Alright, did I get everyone?

Nah, you missed out those who want 25500, 25650, and 32600. And the guy who wants to use alkaline F cells.

And the guy in the corner who wants to use AAAA cells with the 5xXM-L head.

:P

Hmm I was thinking of using 2x CR2032 for my triple XM-L, at least it wont get hot with the short runtime so we can save a little money on not needing a host with a big heatsink..

Hi guys,

Thanks for your patience! A custom flashlight project is fun, but fast it is not. :) Manafont is still working diligently to contact Farka/Xeno. But Jim @ Manafont informed me yesterday that Farka/Xeno seems to be balking a bit at the idea of customizing the E09.

I'll keep you updated.

Cheers!

sweet where can i get one from??????

It has to do my homework for me...

Haha, they don't want us making the Farka E09 Frankenstein edition?

Farka E09 host? So it will be a TIR optic again?

Yes! I love TIR's too!

noob here. if the things i said don't make sense, please forgive me.

here is my 2 cents. if this is gonna be a BLF custom light, how about we try something truely unique. something that hasn't been done by other brands.

i am thinking MCE-RGB using AA/14500. with infinite variable output and extra low mode. is it even possible? if it is, i think it would be cool. i am willing to pay ~$30 for it. is such a flashlight available already?

Aloha and welcome to BLF josith!

hello there, im excited about this so ill definately buy it. just want some updates. thx

Great idea, especially if it has a decent low mode for the red/green so it serves it's purpose. Out of my realm, but I bet the circuit would be quite complicated for a budget light.

Any news?

Still no news at the moment. Sorry, the manufacturers are not very cooperative...

We should make a flashlight that is versatile and not yet available.. there are so many lights that we see but what we want and dont see is what we should go after. Please dont make it in AA .. Most versatile runtime is 18650. and there is no xooming in XML.

so, I wish and Vote for

Battery 18650 (if not then 2*AA)

Emmiter - XML

Mode - 3 (hi-med-low)

Zooming Flashlight.

You might ignore this because majorty people might like different one, but I just wanted to post my view.

and even if you guys go for AA .. go for 2*AA not one AA its just not bright enough.

Regards

I still would be interested in:

Single 18650

R4 neutral

Variable output with memory

Compact size

HA anodized

Under 25usd preferably
