For the record, I personally hope they don’t change a thing (assuming there is a solid emitter shelf). The draw for me is a huge reflector to turn 1600lumens from an XM-L2 into total laser beam. It would be cool if they can do both SMO and OP in the future, but I fear that would raise the price and take a long time to work out. I want this thing as quickly and cheaply as possible.
Interested in the Boss1,
provided there is a solid emitter shelf or decent pill, after all this thing is just begging for Max POWWWWER.
An option for OP reflector would be nice but not a show stopper.
No one is expecting that figure. From what I know, most buyers are buying it for mod purpose. Or just treat it as 1000lm flashlight, which Palight is capable of delivering in their lights.
I wouldn’t trust that number as far as i can throw a 1.2kg BOSS :bigsmile:
BUT we know a direct driven XM-L2 high flux bin can reach that in a good reflector light, the bigger the reflector the better ;). So it IS possible but if it really are a stock driver capable of this…….wow then they have a winner on there hands, just a easy dedome and BOOOM top kcd numbers.
I don’t really believe it though :bigsmile:
But 48$ for a possible 90mm reflector light is much less than any other option, a Courui D01 with the big fat kaidomain reflector mod was the cheapest before, but it was A LOT of modding to get that done, i think we could build it for about 70$ if we run it just DD without a driver or modded the stock one.
I hope we will see a sample in a capable modders hands before we have to commit or at least a break down to parts and pics, so we can asses its true potential before we buy though, because i am very interested but also not looking to spend 50$ on something with big problems lurking, not saying there are just don’t want a bad surprise if i can help it.
suggesting the number is “as well calculated” as other 1000 Lumens firecrackers we can hope for 1000-1200 Lumens
which would let think that its well built in thermal regards.
