If finally it is made by Manker and Bangood… What about the QC?
well lets include a drop test for the packaging for starters 
And the aim is Thorfire.
I had forgotten the packaging of boxed KRONOS set! But that is secondary.
We must remember the “BLF A6 affair”…
I preffer Thorfire.
For the small 14500 version, it would be nice with one XHP35. But 4 Emitters with 3V would be nice too.
… but first the 18650 version …
Put me in for 1
What about some recessed spots where the led boards go? It would make modding much easier.
this sounds logical
when I see in my mind how the inside of the head is made, I visualise a big drill with a pointm doing it in one go.
3 recessed spots would mean, three extra actions and an extra tool to use.
However looking the other way around, it would mean raising the internal shelf around the stars giving more mass, more heat dispersion.
Other input?
Exactly, precisely what I meant. 
Though, I think the inside will be machined on a lathe, so that means that it has to go to a mill after the lathe. That means that they have to program an extra machine. Or they use a 5 axis machinecenter. 
That sounds great.
An other option would be screws to fit the 16mm Noctigon. If there is enough space for the wires under the reflector, of course.
A combination of screws and recessed spots would be fine. But please do not glue the Noctigon to the heatsink.
A problem could be the exact fitting of the LED-Boards. I remember the BLF A6 with some bad fitting boards which were forced and warped to the heatsink
I'd prefer one big copper DTP MCPCB with the 4 XP sets of pads, big fat traces for parallel setup, and 1.6 mm thick (same as a Noctigon). Easy wiring, big advantage thermally. I know - I'm dream'n 
.
If thin ALU can be made, copper thick should be doable.
Here we are again…
Pls put me down for one. Minimum.
Should be fine working together with dbsar candle project…*BLF LT1 Lantern Project) (updated Nov,17,2020)
Tripod sounds really fine and ui with hidden strobe, but 1” full 3-4” moon and again 1 second…
About the name everything is fine, except the year (2016) i dont like ;-))
Count me in as well! Thanks.
Please put me down for one.
Interested depending on final price and specs
Interested!
Add me to the list for one. Thanks…………….
I guess I better get on the interest list before it closes.
Since we are open for new design or design tweaks I am going to change the bezel.
From metal colored to black to minimize artifacts
I do not have a SRK with shiny bezel, does it have annoying artifacts in the beam? I know many BLF-members are very fond of a SS-bezel
