chuckhov:

ToyKeeper said: “But I’d still love a non-AR lens for XP-L, to make the neutral white tint look white instead of green.

… any chance we can get plain glass lenses instead of AR-coated?”

.

I’m all for this too. - Too many times I have bought the Big Brand lights with the AR coating, only to see Green in the tint.

So, I thought going the ‘budget’ route might be better for me, as few of them have coated lenses.

For instance, I have an Olight S15 that I LOVE; everything about it, Except for the Sickly Green tint - Puke:-(

But - It’s also my understanding that this is quite Normal for this light, and that the people that have them don’t care, or don’t even notice the tint…? - BTW, it is the very latest model with the new switch design, like the “R” models have. - That’s the only reason that I bought it, because I thought that they had also ‘fixed’ the tint while they were at it. - Not!

I want my lights to mimic nature, and Green light is just not what I see in the course of a day. - As always, YMMV.

Thanks for listening, and Thanks TK!

Funny that Bort would convert all his light to AR coated lenses given the opportunity

Bort,

I can respect that.

I have learned over the years that we all see the very same thing, differently.

There’s really nothing “funny” about it, it’s just the way things are.

Thanks,
-Chuck

Krono, in the first list can you switch me #14 and Ulibar #28? I PMd him and he agreed. Reason is I want both of my kits being #28.

Thanks!

1 x SS/Cu NW

Thanks

Wrathbringer27 · July 12, 2015, 8:53am

Aw man it’ll be really nice to have the copper AA sized light in WW as standard for all but with user specified tints on the original sized light

lionheart_2281 · July 12, 2015, 9:15am

Memememe!!! Hell yes please!

SS/Cu CW if we get XPL HI as an option

Otherwise better make it SS/Cu NW if no XPL HI

Name on list! I want to be listed for one set of SS/CU in NW! Thanks krono and the gang!

Although I’ve just recently ordered a “LuckySun Mini30” 14500 light (http://www.gearbest.com/led-flashlights/pp_67812.html) I’m interested in this package.
Put me down for 1x Aluminium set in NW, and please try to get them with the SS switch as proposed.

ahirshy · July 12, 2015, 11:33am

Please add me for another Aluminium set.

As before, only if its number 31 in the list (I think I've lost track, but it should be unless there's someone snuck in since last update.

Ta mate.

EDIT: just saw that Nguyen might have got in there, hope he doesn't mind switching one place for me to match the sets please?

fatsteve0 · July 12, 2015, 11:36am

1 x SS/Cu CW

Thanks

bugsy36 · July 12, 2015, 12:34pm

The SS/Cu set is less than half the price of Rey's Ti light (and it is a good buy)...and is for 2 working lights. That is a fantastic deal. The aluminum sets are still less than a name brand light. The sooner we can get the required numbers the sooner we can make this happen so it can ship with plenty of time for the holidays.

We all know what the X6 is so there is no point in waiting to add your name :)

This is Kronos' deal but Kronos will be unavailable for the next couple days so I will be keeping up with our Chinese counterparts. The more numbers we can add to the list the harder I can push :)

Tinn44 · July 12, 2015, 12:46pm

Al/NW/1pcs

lionheart_2281 · July 12, 2015, 12:48pm

Anyone that was part of the first X6 GB should also partake in this one too, it’ll be even better. So long as it pulls proper amps this time and has no turbo timer it’ll be a million times better than the first version.

Ejected_Filament · July 12, 2015, 1:04pm

Anyone ever seen Bugsy and Kronos in the same place at the same time …hmmmm SHENANIGANS!!

bugsy36 · July 12, 2015, 1:07pm

There is no way that it will not pull the amps. As for the Turbo timer...that is up to TK and Kronos.

The beauty here is that the X6-SE v2 will be improved over the original X6-SE and and and it will also come with a proportionately downsized 14500 light. This does not include that these are available in aluminum as well the blingy SS/Cu versions.

djozz · July 12, 2015, 1:18pm

I'm sure it will not be a good idea to say 'yes' to this, but I can always ask : I would not mind my set to be both the 14500 K8, one in alu, one in copper, for whatever the price of that will be.
