I got my AL set. I don’t have much to say about it really. I only played with the X6 so far, and to make it short and simple, it is the best single emitter light I have ever had my grubby hands on. I could elaborate, but, what more is there to say? Incredible. Thank you so much, guys and gal. My wallet hates you, but keep it up!
G'Day Hank, 
I just received my Cu X5, & its clip is the same as the clip on my Al X5.
And Both have the same bend radius as your Al X5 clip pics.
So it seems that some of us are getting different clips to the one on TK's Cu X5 
Best Regards,
George
I received my unboxed SS/Cu set today as well as my Al set and the first word to come to my mind is a word I don’t even use; exquisite! Both lights are in what I would call flawless condition. The X5 is just gorgeous! The X6 is just as gorgeous, however for me the all-copper light was the “crown jewel” of my purchase and it lived up to all my expectations.
My boxed set was still in NY last time I checked, but to be honest, seeing these lights today confirms what I had suspected all along which is this; I would be just as satisfied with the unboxed lights. As a matter of fact, the factory boxes these lights come in are quite nice. There is the heavier, stiffer foam inside which protects the light very nicely. The boxes were taped shut, however, I was able to remove all tape from the boxes, even from under the product label (yes, I cannot deny this was very OCD :laughing:. The bag of accessories was of course included in the box. The X5 did come with the clip installed and it is clear, an uninstalled clip would not fit in the X5 box. These factory boxes were simply wrapped in some white foam wrap and mailed in a non-bubble plastic mailer. However, due to the nature of the factory boxes as well as them being taped shut, these lights were safe and secure and one should not encounter any shipping issues with these. I will try to post some pics later today.
Oh, and the Al set; equally impressive! If you have not gotten one of these Al sets for this price, you had better jump on one! The price on these is simply unbeatable. Also, these lights are shipped in the same manner and come in the same factory boxes.
Additionally, I was able to remove the X5 clip with little difficulty. I simply grasped the light with my fingers and spread the clip apart with my thumbs while simultaneously pushing the clip away from me. The clip sprung off and there was no damage to the host. Anyone with a reasonable amount of hand strength should be able to accomplish this.
I know I have stated this previously but I would like to give another thanks to the entire Kronos team for putting together such an awesome collection of lights for an incredible price!
To widen the clip width, remove clip from flashlight, get a pair of these or regular pliers if you don’t have any. Tape clip to deter scratches. Lock pliers one half inch below the bend in clip on the side closest to the flashlight, make sure the pliers are straight, hold pliers firmly or clamp in vise, hit the area between the bend and the piers with a hammer until desired width is achieved.
… two point five volts???
Something is very wrong there.
I take it, if you leave it on a normal output mode, it steps down then shuts itself off?
I will test it out tomorrow with and extended run and see if there is any change from the 2.5V reading and see how low it goes.
Tailstanding at bedside resulted in less than 5minutes of run time with it gradually stepping down in levels then shutting off. It will turn back on but then will repeat the process.
I was hoping that all would be fine, minus batt check but that does not seem to be the case. Thanks TK for pointing out the not so obvious to me.
I have a question for those who did this group buy, put in their time and effort, and exhibited their knowledge and patience, just so we could all have incredible flashlights. How do you feel about the ungrateful, pathetic folks who buy these and hope to sell one for the entire set cost, or double their money on them, or whatever? I think it is despicable, disgraceful, obnoxious, disgusting, disdainful, contemptible and distasteful, among other things. Did you all expect this, and it doesn’t bother you? I am naive to let it bother me? What has happened to decency, respect, and knowing the difference between right and wrong? Sorry, I guess that is more than one question. Jeez.
Received #52 SS/Cu set in the mail today (Australia) and have to say I’m very impressed.
A massive thank you to all involved, you have made something truly unique for the community here!
I’m only disappointed I couldn’t get the two sets I’d first wanted and hope some lucky person on the waiting list is enjoying theirs soon.
Cabfrank - As supply dwindles I can see the retail going up slightly given what they are. Are they worth 2x...only to the ...well whoever wants to pay that. I am sure that there are profiteers running around especially since many stated "I already have an X6" when in reality they do not have "this" X6, especially the aluminum X6's which if things go right will have a 2x tube extension.
Definitely a hardware issue. It’s getting the wrong voltage levels on its sensor, so it thinks you’re always at a critical low-voltage level.
As with many driver issues, you might be able to fix it by touching up the driver’s solder joints. Maybe there’s a resistor shorted or something, likely R1 or R2. But you might also have to ask Neal for a replacement driver.
It’s also possible that some other connection is barely touching, somewhere on the power connection path. You might want to take apart the tailcap and put it back together, loosen and tighten the driver retaining ring, maybe clean the threads and end of the tube if it’s an aluminum model. Possibly swap the switches between the two lights to see if the issue follows the switch. Sometimes spurious low voltage can be caused by a faulty connection from the battery to the driver. I had a faulty switch do that once.
I appreciate the empathy and support, but that question is practically inviting the drama llama over for dinner. 
All I can say is… Everything so far is within expected parameters. (and I am never cynical, what are you talking about?)
Fair enough. I never want the drama llama at my house for dinner, and profiteers is a nice euphemism. You are really good people, and we appreciate, almost all of us.
Well the EMS postage option sucks.
I order my SS/Cu set and for some reason it had defaulted to EMS shipping and I didn’t notice until after I had made the payment. Ended up paying an additional $23 for it and didn’t try to get it changed as I figured it would just arrive quickly which is a good thing anyway.
Ordered a aluminium set 2 days later and just went with the priority direct or whatever it was called, which I think was free and its already in Australia and the SS/Cu set only says “Notification of Shipping Confirmation”
Can’t wait to receive them, hopefully before I go away for work!
Can´t wait to get these in my hands :_(
You shouldn’t stay them in DHL-Hands too long 
I had a horrible nightmare. I dreamt my set arrived in an old Nike shoe box. No packing material. Just rattling around in there together. The x6 had a huge gaping crack running through the heatsink then someone said "aww shoot it'll buff out"...
Shew... Just a dream.
Mine says in transit from NY.
I'm scared to look now...
They get another day with my lights. Redelivery is schelduled for tomorrow morning My wife will be at home then.
Well, you may not get them either way… If she sees them, you may have to get something else… Lol
Regarding a discussion from a few pages ago: I do not agree with TK, in principle, when well build (no light from the light source can directly shine at the detector), an integrating milk-carton should be better at integration (so more accurate with varying angles and beam profiles) than the bended pipe thing. What would help is sanding the inside of the carton with fine sandpaper to make it matt instead of shiny.
