The Maratac copper AAA light my friend has tarnish's quickly, plus the SS lights I modded get super hot (TrustFire F35, etc.). But... these will be classics, one-of-a-kinds, and I trust the team to ensure the quality is there, so I think this deal can't miss, as long as it can get done. If they do end up to be all or mostly SS, and all or mostly copper, they will be hefty for sure, but will make them feel like quality as well.
For the X6, I'd prefer some SS on the bezel and tail, rather than the whole body - much better for heat sinking, but still an X6 all in SS would sure be a sight...
Copper tarnishes quickly, but it looks really nice in tarnished form and the tarnish can be removed fairly easily. I can generally just rub my finger over it for a few minutes and it’ll mostly restore the original color (though to make it shiny, actual polishing is needed). It doubles as a fidget widget or a worry stone. Recessed areas will stay darker, but that also kind of adds to the aesthetics.
Question… and I hate asking it. Are we looking at 3 months, 6 months, or more? I am very patient, but if this arrives after Christmas, it’ll be a no go for me.
Guys, this is krono’s GB. Any decision to swap places around on the list will have to be made by him. He is not here right now, so bugsy has been keeping up with the list, but has already stated that he is NOT going to make any position swaps! Please understand. When krono gets back, you can ask him. But please stop spamming the thread with requests to be switched around. Thanks!
These lights are on the fast track because a lot of the road has already been traveled. The driver and UI already in use (BLF A6). The X6 is a no-brainer because we all know what it is. The manufacturer is familiar with dealing with us here on BLF. With all that...we aren't where we once were with the X6-SE, LS D80-SE, and the BLF A6.
This light will go into production quickly. This is another reason of why I am pushing hard to get people on the lists.
