Simon will basically add a link in at a random time within the next few days… it could be today or tomorrow or the next day… then the 1st 30 people to buy via the link (he puts in the 1st post) will get the light at that price. After that, you have to pay regular price. My advice? Subscribe and check back often.

36

definitely will get one along with this zoomie

37

WOW, again?
Hmm looks like those nice heat sink might be able to handle the eight 7135s…
Think I will go with pocket cannon setup (XML2 T6-4C 7135*8 SMO) this time.

38

Does this S8 use the same deep reflector as the other models?

Any of these lights available in bulk as bare hosts?

39

Thank you for the explanation. Might go for 4C

40

Nice!!

41

I like that the fins incorporate anti-rolling feature. I already have the S5 to look forward to though.

42

for $5 i’ll take this light
i’m in J)
is this light available with SMO reflector?

43

Please count me in too! I have an s6 I absolutely love, for five dollars there’s no way I wouldn’t buy another convoy. This one looks like it’ll handle MOAR POWAH too

44

I definitely want one. Many in fact. Count me in.

45

I would also prefer a smooth reflector.

46

The smooth reflector does very little to improve throw, but makes the light much less nice to use at short range.

47

In for one!

48

Why does it makes it less nice to use at short range?

49

There’s a lot of artifacts in the beam profile, such as rings and flowers you don’t want to see.

The OP reflector smoothens them out into a nice creamy beam of light.

50

Because the hotspot is 'fuzzy', instead of a sharply defined round spot, outside of which the brightness drops off. So it makes the light only a tiny bit better in one scenario and a lot worse at another. They don't need smooth reflectors to throw as well as a P60: https://budgetlightforum.com/t/-/20093?page=1#comment-445402

51

I’m in for one!

52

And now for another opinion (with much respect to Comfy)…I changed to a smooth reflector in my S5 from an OP and it really helped in my case. This light is used as a bike helmet light and it focused the beam enough to help the throw a good bit and make the light much more usable for me. Didn’t see a big hit in close work, but I don’t really do that with this light. YMMV

53

I want one!. But, is not possible to pay with paypal?.

54

I’m in. So when does this become available? T4 7A3 6chips
