I’m only gonna say this once, “EDC” and twisty does not compute. An EDC has to be small with a clip (got those right) and needs a clicky. A forward clicky with only one or two modes is all that is needed. A multi-mode twisty is useless in an EDC. Some will disagree but the majority of average users have already decided this issue.
I don’t understand why there are so many lights that have twistys and blinky modes when nobody wants them. All the big sellers today have clicky switches with the exception of the Mini-Mag which is mostly popular based on name and past glory. Everyone I know would prefer a clicky to a twisty and I have NEVER met ANYONE who wanted a strobe or SOS mode on their EDC.
This light will be put into production next week, about 10-15 days' lead time.
That's great news! Are you willing to announce the price yet?

NW 4500-5000K would be my preference. I don't care about CW, but lowest (6000K) would look best.
I like twisties. I have the DQG AA with two modes. And the Sunwayman V10A. If I liked the look and feel of the M10/M11 more, I would get that because it doesnt have a clicky.

it’s the beauty of simplicity. Properly maintained threads will outlast a mechanical switch; and I believe they can deal with higher amperages (<3A) better than most stock or cheapo switches, too.

I would think it would have to be at least 1/2” longer to have a clicky. I also prefer a clicky but still want one of these if the price is reasonable

Posted on 02.03.2013. "Next week" would be anything between 04.03 and 08.03. Plus 10-15 days would be anywhere between 14.03 and 23.03. Be patient.

Well, I typically have at least 1 keychain light + 1 pocket/neck light on me. Sometimes a 3rd in a bag or jacket.
But I (like many here) have a rotation of several “EDC” type lights [knives too]. I say EDC-type meaning anything you can conveniently carry & use on a daily basis.
This is open to interpretation depending what your daily duties consist of… I am sure active military operators & law enforcement officers would have different definition of EDC than your common office worker type.

4500K/3D for the neutral, 6500K/1D for the cool white.

Put me down for a CW version, pending non-ridiculous price point

XM-L2 T6 3C (5000K) please.
+1, my top pick right there.

My main EDC is on my keychain, which means it has to be a twisty, or a very hard-to-press clicky. I’ll never use a clip.
Like someone else said, the DQG AA is a great little EDC and it’s a twisty.
NW 4500-5000K would be my preference. I don’t care about CW, but lowest (6000K) would look best.

Interesting light, but considering my experience with DQG low quality I will pay $30 max.
4500k is my vote
$30 is the most im willing to pay
eagerly awaiting more info…..

I’d like NW – as warm as possible, 4000k would be great.
CW is fine for throwers, but I need NW or warm color rendering for flooders & close useage.
Very nice looking flashlight. $30 or less sounds about right.
I like copper
4000~ 4500

This torch ever going to be released? Is RIC ever going to give us more info on it???

The silver flashlight looks sexy though. Most lights here in the forums are black. It’s nice to see something different.
CW (7000K-7500K)

CW 6,000 – 6,500K for me
I was waiting for the release (or at least a price), but I got tired of the long wait, so I already bought an EDC, and i forget about this one
Mooooooo
I’m using a SC52 for my EDC now, but will probably get one of these too if the price isn’t stupid, and has a nice tint
Just one EDC? haha riiiiiiight
I like copper
Mooooooo
My work EDC’s are a SC52 and P5R. Will be adding this to it eventually…
…and my non work EDC will probably end up as the SC600 MkII
