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

Is that supposed to answer either of my questions?
unknown00101: lionheart_2281:Thanks for organising this GB. What emitter is in it and what kinda of lumens does it put out using a 10440 or AAA?
STARTED: GBGB: Stainless steel AAA clicky with a clip (CQG S1 "clone")
Is that supposed to answer either of my questions?
..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.
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? :)
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.
@lionheart_2281
unknown00101 means that your questions were answered in the thread, page 2 if I’m not mistaken.

As I expected, I am actually in fact quite retarded. I found that info in post #50, I’d like to thank everyone for tolerating my stupidity.
It links to the post.
Note comment number at the end of the link.
Didn't get any info about the exact tint code, but it seems quite nice in that photo..
They have a batch of 30pcs NW available "right now" and "as many as we need" just "after some days" => 30 first will get them faster than others.
where’s the link?
Will be in for 1 CW and 1 NW at least,
thanks
where’s the link?

Link or coupon via PM?

I see no problem here. Might want to make it clear in the OP when you put the links in. Some people seem not to expect limitations in quantity on hand based on ‘options’.
Any idea when it goes live?
Link & coupon added to 1st post. Enjoy! :)
cpfdaniel:where’s the link?
+1
Link or coupon via PM?
I think coupon via PM will be best, because quantity is limited to the first 30.

I think coupon via PM will be best, because quantity is limited to the first 30.
I thought of that and would have done so if there would have been a hard limit. But since the 2nd batch will be available soon, let's have a race who can order them first. ;)
You need to log in before using the coupon code. If you log in from the cart, it may still refuse to take the code (did so to me).
In that case go back to GB main page, log in, go back to cart and apply the coupon.
[1 + 1 ordered ]
One (of two) NW ordered.
The second… coming soon
Ordered one of each. For $4.21 each (after some GB points) it’s a steal!
ordered, 1 of each
2 and 2.
