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!
I’m really interested in a nice big thrower like a courui D01 with a nicely driven xp-l.
I’d already have a couple single cell lights so an awesome 3cell big headed thrower would be a great addition to the (small) collection.
I was/am planning to buy one and mod it myself but if we could do a SE GB, that would be perfect.
Although I think, I would buy anyway it as long as it is a big headed thrower within a reasonable price range 0:) .
