I have a ringy Jacob A60, so would prefer a BLF SE Courui!!!
yyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeessssssssssssssssssssssssssssss!!!
Finally a small version of C8 style with AA/14500 that’s right!!!
Or simpy a small Corui (with dual switch) always in AA/14500….I like so much!!!
C’mon proud guys of BLF, make this dream happen!!! :bigsmile: :bigsmile:
Oh I would totally be in for a BLF SE Big head thrower, especially in the size and form factor of the Courui D01! I was going to buy a D01 and mod it, but a BLF edition would be better!
keep it triple 18650, push it to 4.0A, two-modes or so would be fine on the driver… XPL-HI or de-domed XP-G2 on copper for sure… 300k candela reaching out to 1000 meters…
But remember, we’d want to keep this a BUDGET light… stock D01 is about $35… not sure we could or would want to push the price on this past $50 or so.
Personally I would not be very interested in a big light, but in a small and lightweight light, so 3x18650 is too chunky. For me a maximal driven 1x18650 big reflector thrower would be preferred.
Make my Courui D01 with a XP-L HI on a copper DTP MCPCB, a copper pill, tail switch lockout, battery tube extended for 2S3P and Fitted with 86mm kaidomain reflector.
While I don’t like carrying big multi-cell lights much, I love using them. They work for me for camping or hiking as long as I’m taking a bag along anyway.
My friend was dumbfounded when we were camping and able to light up trees half a mile across the lake without the need for binoculars with a couple of my throwers. That was during the blue moon on a cloudless night, so there was a lot of ambient moonlight even. There’s just something hugely impressive about that kind of range.
I wouldn't be interested in anything smaller than the TK61 reflector. Fenix makes them big, but still light and easy to handle. Maybe Fenix would be willing to make one with the RMM's TK Seis-Um BLF Edition Driver.
EDIT: Plus, with 4 cells, one could mod for XHP35 or other 6 or 12 volt emitters.
I have been watching this thread and I think it is a cool idea. Something to consider....with Wight on hiatus for the time being and the different configurations spoken of, it is best to one choose a driver and build for it or if someone here can design a versatile driver that could possibly be configured as needed for whatever is decided.
IF you wait for the manufacturer to design the driver you will find quite a bit of disappointment for time involved until you get what you want. Much better for BLF to do the R&D...then spec it out to the manufacturer.
‘The Grey [sic] Courui’s were better?’ - is that a question or a statement? I ordered a gray Courui for FmC to modify, so I’d like to know if they were somehow better than the black. Thanks.
I really don't think there's any difference, after modding several of each.
However, I got a dud one a while ago, which happened to be black. Poor machining, sharp dags on edges of battery tubes, dodgy o ring, plus it shorted out on the reflector & blew the driver straight out of the box....
The next black one I received, from the same seller, around the same time, was mint.
Yep that what it means. The grey ones were in better shape then the black ones In my case. All but one had some kind of defect on or in the reflector. Ano was better. It’s called the quality lottery! :~ Roll the DICE!
