True
Manker should be able to do it.
It is a OEM
Simon sells Convoys, but Convoy is not an OEM, Dipper is another name for the same lights for example.
And well Simon is not the most responsive of guys, has health issues and is working on the XHP light now
Not reallly, yes Simon sells lights that are/look the same as others. But he has some original designs and lights.
He designs them and makes them (= he is controlling the proces) As seen before, Simon could design an entire new light and make it, and he might be able to do it within a couple of months.
But as you said, he might not be in the mood to do it right now.
If we can find a OEM that is making the SRKs now design wise it would mean making the threads square, adapting the inside of the Head, the rest of the housing would be UB their computers already.
Should take less time to adapt existing CAD models and load them up to machines capable of working with the exact size chuncks of ALU we need then starting from scratch right?
That is indeed the easiest and cheapest way.
Yea but also convoy doesn’t build a light like this yet? so he would have to start from scratch?

Me too. Every time I go camping with the Slide in, I get asked where I got the srk and how can they get one!

OK we need some help from the collective knowledge of BLF.
Does anybody know who makes the SRKs.
There must be at least two factories pumping these out, maybe more
Why not ask Noel (Fasttech) or Milana (GearBest) where they got all that SRK clones?

Yes, my friends and I are fully aware of the GB timeframe.
I was lucky enough to enter several recent GBs toward the end, so I deserve to wait!
I’m currently #11 , #12 , and #40 on the list. Can you put me on the list twice more?
I now need a total of 5 lights… :laughing:

I’m definitely interested in this one, depending on how it turns out and the final price.

That price point seems optimistic but doable. I’d be interested in one.

OP updated, thanks all this interest will certainly help the process get going!
I am in for one.
Direct Drive and 219c would be nice. But becaus of the low Vf it must be limited to a maximum of 6A per Emitter.
XP-L Hi would be nice too.
Thanks!
I am interested
Add me for one, depending on price and final design may be more or none

The Q4 is not worked on now, we start with the Q8 and see how it goes.
