Ok spoke with GB and they will make a pick and choose combo so those that need a charger can get one and those who don’t can skip it. The light is stainless steel not titanium, I will ask if that’s possible to get; the main group buy will be on the stainless steel version. I can also ask for them to include a deal on the Fairy for those who prefer the brass model or the Spy. I have the Fairy and it’s a great light, the brass is really nice.
I need to ask which extensions people want. There are two options
Ok spoke with GB and the price for the light, battery, charger and two extensions is looking good. I won’t post it until its final, so I don’t cause argument in case it goes up or down a bit. Monday I should have the final price.
All the 10180 models are two stage twisties, 10 lumen then 120 lumen. No timeout except for the battery losing charge, which will happen in around 20 minutes at high. The 120 lumens must be pulling around 200mah to pull the battery down at that speed.
On paper these lights put out more light than the 10440 DQG lights after their 15 second timeout(then only 60 lumen), but the beam is not focused in the spy and fairy, not sure how tight the hobi is.
If it is pulling down a 90maH cell in 20 minutes, it is pulling ~270ma. Depending on the losses through the lens, that would correspond to a XP-G2 binned R4 or higher for 120lm OTF.
