BLF Kronos X6/X5 GB - Group Buy now closed.

Hi Bugsy!

Will you also be updating the list for Krono?

Gotta see ‘my’ team reach 100!

Of course rooting for the 200 SS/CU guys too!

Thanks,
-Chuck

1 AL Set - NW - XP-L HI (if possible)

THX!

Mind do I have my lucky number 34 for an Al NW slot? :stuck_out_tongue:

Actually I cannot update the list in that post because of passwords but I will try and update it in one of my posts later tonight. ....just keep 'em coming and keep adding. The more the merrier!

I’m already down for 2 sets, Bugsy…Hell, there’s only so much a poor man can do to help:-)

Come on now, all you Rich Guys (def: “Not Retired”)… it’s only a ‘little bit’ of money - You can Make More:-)

Thanks to all that join!
-Chuck

Up for another one, eh, Krono?

Anyway, I’d be up for one set each, so

1) SS/Copper (SS/Cu) set
2) NW
3) One set

And

1) Aluminum (Al) set.
2) NW
3) One set

As always, your time and efforts are appreciated; same goes for your team of helpers.

1) Aluminum(Al)
2) Tint NW.
3) 1 Set Please

SS/Cu NW

Btw, both my sets NW please.

(if that ever becomes a possibilty and the led is is on the market at all, everything with Nichia 219C 4500K 92 CRI please )

Yes!!!

Keep em coming guys!

But - Full Disclosure:

I want… no I “Need” this GB to become reality!

Shop around with all of the high priced brands, and NONE of them even come close to what is being proposed here!

Killer GB! - Thanks again guys!

Lurking to score number 100 for a Ai NW set :slight_smile:

Good; now I don't feel so bad having just invested in a X6R less than 10 days before this GB was announced!

I seem to remember in Krono's review he mentioned that most of the components are slightly different between the X6 (regular/BLF/SE) and X6R, meaning they can't be interchanged for lego-ing.

I guess that will probably remain true for this X6 v2, so we likely won't be able to retro-fit the charging head/parts into this one? Not that you'd especially want to of course!

Basically despite similar sounding model-numbers and aesthetics they are two different enough lights to justify having them both...

Ok, but why not ‘xx’, and then 100 when it gets there?

Think about it… You could Use the xx, and save the 100 for a Shelf Queen:-)

Just sayin:-)

I have one stainless steel light, a Convoy S7. It’s one of my favorites because it looks great and it’s very tough. I use it as my “beater” light, the one light I never have to worry about damaging. After years of being carried on the outside of my purse, it’s totally covered in microscopic scratches, but unless you look at it in just the right lighting… it still looks like a mirror.

If this GB becomes as popular as it deserves to be, I'll be putting my name down for another set of each at position 1981.

I CALL DIBS on position 1981!

...Waiting...

BTW, silly question… why is it the K6 instead of K5? Usually a 6 means 18650 and a 5 means 14500 (and 3 for 16340 / 18350).

So, for aluminum it should be able to dissipate quite a bit of heat. I’d imagine no turbo timer is necessary there, except maybe on the smaller version.

For copper, it’s probably okay too… especially since a 14500 cell won’t usually push as much power as an 18650. But OTOH it’ll also be small so heat could still potentially be an issue. Maybe.

For stainless steel, … heat builds up like crazy and takes forever to shed. To make it even remotely safe, it would probably need a somewhat short timer which steps down twice. Do you think it would be better to try to make it safe, or better to just get rid of the timer entirely and trust the light’s operator to manage heat, knowing that the light could probably kill itself? Also keep in mind that the outside of the light might not even be hot by the time the inside is approaching dangerous levels — heat moves slowly through steel.

“Also keep in mind that the outside of the light might not even be hot by the time the inside is approaching dangerous levels — heat moves slowly through steel.”

Very good point, TK.

I really think that if people want Bling, then to go with what Dale suggested - A Hybrid, with a SS body with CU fins.

Again: “…the outside of the light might not even be hot by the time the inside is approaching dangerous levels…”

Such is the nature of our reality. - You can actually have everything you want, but only in small doses at a time:-)

Thanks TK!

I really like the SS with Cu fins idea: makes it practical for use on high power for longer. But its probably hard to get that built…

I also agree if its going to green the beam its not worth the tiny boost in output. 3C is also pretty green on average, so I am torn on all the GBs, love the idea and the light, dislike the green NW + greening AR.
