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
1. http://www.gearbest.com/diy-parts-and-tools/pp_182267.html for using the 10180 battery and also having a waterproof capsule
Or
2. http://www.gearbest.com/diy-parts-and-tools/pp_182266.html with two of these you can use the 10440 battery.

I’m interested in a price for one light plus two 10180’s and extensions to use 10440.

Depends on the price, I would be interested in the Hobi with a 10180 cell en the 2 extensions if the price is good.
Any ideas what the price would be?
BTW, thnx for doing this!

I would like the #1 for my preference, that way the extra battery is always with the flashlight. Though if #2 wins, OK, I will use a 10440 then…
Is this a progressive twisty or is that some other DQG light I’m thinking of?

I’m interested if the price is right and better than getting it straight off of taobao.
I have spare Veleno 10180s, if anyone needs them in the US. Would sell them each for $1.50 plus shipping.
Edit: All Gone

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.
Is there any interest in a Spy or Fairy package?

with the right pricing and packaging this has the potential to sell a bunch IMO.

Great, thanks, and yes either the Spy or the Fairy package would be good. I have the Fairy currently so my preference is for a SPY…

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.
