are the flashy modes hidden? if so what is the UI to to get to them?
how much current goes to each led?
how much will the shipping be? (im sure this will be a flat rate to all countries, and im hoping that its included in the $28.26 i was quoted.)
can we get a picture of both sides of the driver along with measurements of it?
possibility of the old style reflector? (im thinking the way that we will have to go about this is buying an original and doing the swap our self. dont think they will be willing to take apart and swap reflectors at this price. time = $$$$$)
possibility of XML2 u2
updated list of questions to email them later today.
Worth asking... personally I'd pay a bit more to have XML2 u2 in there, and the price in terms of the LEDs themselves is not that great. I'm sure even less in bulk.
My main concern is really the UI. I already have brighter lights, so this would be more to have a spare, or to use a few as gifts. I'm kind of tired of the SRKs.
I notice some concern about the reflector size and throw. One positive thing about having complete reflectors is, a very even spill ring. Also, having a complete reflector means that the light that would have missed the reflector is being sent to the hotspot.
I would not discount this one from having some decent throw until it is tried out.
For me, I’m passing because of budget being destroyed by other orders. I like the host and might consider one in the future.
I guess, in the long run, it’s not all that bad for me. I would just fab something over that hole after taking out the threaded insert, like a square of copper or Nickel Silver.
If this goes thru at the price you show ($28.26) and very low or free shipping, I would want two of them, just to tear apart and make them into MT-G2 lights.
im hoping it is either blocked off and just does not look it in the picture, or it comes with a threaded plug that looks decent and not an after thought
I’m in pending shipping cost not be terrible, mainly cuz (1) (hopefully) my added interest would make a BLF group buy happen and (2) I don’t have an SRK.
I would also be VERY interested in a more current emitter, e.g., XM-L2 U2, even for a few dollars add’l.
dont bother asking but nw emitters would be of far more interest to me than cw emitters. this will just muddy the waters though and unless the emitters are on a custom star, its a mute point anyway.
I’m in for one if the buy does not go through till August. I can’t see shipping being included but would be happy to be suprised.
just a suggestion, make a total under the list of people interested. that makes it easier for members who are on the fence to see how many people there are and if its close to the number needed then it may entice them to jump in with us
i didnt think it would be worth asking for an xml2 unless they were on a direct bonded copper star... and those are not exactly everyday items. but majority seems to want xml2 so i will ask if its a possibility
its because they had just produced it and they have not been available for sale yet. from what they have said, i dont think any have been distributed to retailers even
they could have just programmed the driver for more modes maybe, im not sure. im going to ask for pics of the driver and dimensions of it too in my next email
