totilde · July 6, 2014, 11:45pm

sorry, i forgot to mention I´d like to have NW too (I am already on the list)

lekvar · July 7, 2014, 1:43am

I would prefer mine be NW but I’ll still take a CW if that’s what’s available.

cnrffl1 · July 7, 2014, 2:02am

I am in for 2, NW if possible. Thanks.

Bigrigatoni · July 7, 2014, 2:22am

I would like 2
Neutral preferred, but cool is great too.

Thanks!

likevvii · July 7, 2014, 2:40am

I am on the list for ONE already. I want it to be NW please. Thank you!

light_dispels_darkne · July 7, 2014, 3:20am

I would prefer NW for my 2 as well.

ImA4Wheelr · July 7, 2014, 3:32am

BIGBLOCKMOPAR · July 7, 2014, 3:55am

Thanks for organising this GB.
What emitter is in it and what kinda of lumens does it put out using a 10440 or AAA?

tsetse · July 7, 2014, 4:59am

2 NW for me if available. Thanks.

I would like to have 1CW n 1NW pl. Thanks THE.

_the · July 7, 2014, 6:24am

You weren't :) - but now you are.

All others: Please indicate your tint preference. It seems like NW would become available

Pregulla · July 7, 2014, 6:34am

If nw available, I’ll go for nw

Ejected_Filament · July 7, 2014, 9:04am

Im already on the list for 2, that hasnt changed, but to clarify Im happy to take 1 x NW and one by CW or NW, whatever is required to get the deal done. I prefer NW, but I plan to rip one apart anyway.

So 1 NW, and 1 whatever. Thanks the

likevvii · July 7, 2014, 9:14am

Did you mention what emitter this is using? Are they xpg sized? i want to put my Nichia 119 on it

Boaz · July 7, 2014, 10:40am

Count me in for 3 NW

I like the fact the tail clicky sticks up . The cnqg version is a pain to click on and off

lionheart_2281 · July 7, 2014, 10:57am

Is that supposed to answer either of my questions?

unknown00101 · July 7, 2014, 11:10am

..Yes! Both of them and more. Figured I would link The's comment instead of going back and forth on mobile trying to copy pasta.

_the_:

1. Does it really support 10440?

Yes, this light works well both with AAA (Alkaline, NiMH, Lithium, ~1.5V) and 10440 (Li-Ion, 3.7V)

2. Crappy Chinese Emitter?

No. Definitely CREE XP-E, cool white in my samples. Tint is very clear cool white, not green at all.

3. Lumens?

10440: ~140lm initial, ~110lm OTF after 30s (heats up quite fast -> heat sag)

Alkaline AAA: ~40lm OTF after 30s (not much heat sag, pretty much the same with NiMH & Lithium)

4. Current draw?

TC currents in my tests were:

10440: ~1.2A

AAA: 0.5-0.6A

5. Measurements?

11.9mm × 88.3mm

6. Access to pill? No separate head section?

Opens only at tail cap, no idea (yet) how to take off the pill. Same as in original CQG.

Opens at the bezel, pill can be taken away from there. See a separate post for details / photos.

7. GITD bezel O-ring?

Clear O-ring. Not GITD.

8. Clip can be removed without scratching the light?

At least I can remove it without major scratches. Small scratches might occur.

9. How easily would these accidentally click on etc in a pocket with the protruding switch?

Not easily. The switch is positioned so that it's impossible to turn the light on by pressing the tail to floor, but it clicks on easily a short distance after the body boundary.

10. Beamshot?

Still too bright here for real beamshots, see this photo taken at about 2am:

..so this comparison to NW CQG v1 will do:

Did I catch all the questions? Any more questions? :)

lionheart_2281 · July 7, 2014, 11:38am

What da? When I click your link above it just goes back to post #1, where none of that info is appearing for me.

What’s going on here?! I’m clearly doing something retarded.

I can’t work out what that info isn’t showing for me anywhere in this thread, but I appreciate you taking the time to post that info for me.
