Well, if we can work out the details, there’s still a chance of making the heat sink section out of copper on the stainless steel version. This way you’d get good thermal properties in addition to the nearly-indestructible steel body.
I can’t promise anything, but doing it that way would be pretty cool. Some lights already do this, like the Sinner Ti XC; can you imagine what it would be like to have this on the X6?
My bank account does fear that option, I should instantly go offline for at least half a year to avoid disaster…
But meh whatever. Lets see how this plays out.
I’ve posted a link to TLF a few hours ago since this GB was not mentioned there yet. I’d expect for a group of people to join in the next couple of days.
Stainless and copper? Wow!!! If that could happen with Wight’s driver with your firm ware TK, that could be the best light of 2016!! Might be tough to pull off though. The possibility is making my head swim. Each group buy just keeps getting better and better. With cooperative manufacturers, the future is very bright indeed. My hat is off to all the people involved in the latest group buys, where we have input in the design since Krono’s first Eagle Eye X6-SE GB. One last thought though, these new style group buys are product projects which are going to take time to get to the finish line. They are NOT the old style group buys where you buy a preexisting light for cheap. These new style group buys are going to take time, if you want a light that is right. You can’t rush perfection. Cheers to the BLF teams who make this happen, and cheers to the manufacturers who work with us, and cheers to all the buyers whose money spins the gears!!!
This is the kind of option I’m hoping for too, if it works well to radiate the heat? Not exactly keen on a SS light running at such high A, I’ll probably be likely to burn up the LED…
I just saw pics of an X6v2 SS with Cu. Absolutely *** gorgeous!!
I just can't upload anything right now - dunno why. Have to wait for the others to become available after work but when you guys see them the SS/Cu list is going to go crazy!
