This thread really went off… If customization/BLFization is possible I would pay more for a badass 4000k xml2 version. Still interested in a “normal” one. Kinda doubt they’ll make to order. Guess we’ll see soon enough.
im not sure if i was talking to someone different than yesterday, but i had tried to explain the payment/shipping idea clearly, and awaiting a response on that.
and sorry haterade... i forgot pwm again. got distracted by the shipping cost. next time, i promise
didnt think with a small(ish) order like this they would customize to our liking. but i wasnt looking for a full out factory custom when i spotted this light, and started the group buy.
edit: and the photo they linked was just beam shots
i had sent them another email, explaining yesterday they would allow each member involved in the group buy to pay them directly, and that they would ship directly to each forum member. asked them how much it would cost per piece shipped to each member.
like i said, i think i was talking with someone else yesterday
But if it were me, producing these light and selling them for $28, I wouldn't like changing to many things for 50 hungry and widely variable preferenced BLFers.
;)
I want high Pwm, white haIII, cw around 5500-6000, 4 emitters, xml 2, no blinkies, and direct on copper, and they should add a mag. control ring.
If LEDs are in series, each LED would get the same current ie, 2.5A and at approximately 700lumens per XM-L at 2.5A, the claim of 2000lumens sounds correct.
The light seems interesting but 1) I’m international and unless they are shipping via HKpost, I can’t jump in. (shipping a box that size to me via fedex would cost in the range of $27US.) 2) I’m NOT a fan of cool white.
hoping the individual shipment cost to Indonesia can make the total around $30 too.
maybe we can encourage them, this is BLF. if this group buy success supfire will receive lots of attention and positive sentiment. just consider as part of promotion cost.
PWM is 500hz... not a big deal to me, as the original driver will be swapped with texaspyros, but probably is to some of you. im not sure what the original SRK used.
and regarding the tripod mount. in less words, they said dirt and water can not get inside the light through that hole
regarding the shipping cost, they said it would depend on how many pieces was shipped to each country. i will email them back tonight, try to make it as clear as possible that we are just looking for a shipping quote per piece shipped via HK Post.
like i said, they do not seem to speak the best english, so i will have to try to reword it...
