How come the high CRI version will be $30, but the xpl version is $36 ?
Why is the inferior led more expensive?

This has been talked about at least a hundred times already. The SST 20 is a cheaper LED. The XP-L HI is more expensive.

We have known for months on end about the price difference. Have you not been keeping up??

The XP-L HI is not an “inferior led” either. It is a great Medium CRI emitter.

Excellent response. Excellent restraint too. I would have had a tough time not being more punitive!

Is there an optic available which makes the light more throwie?

Since we aren’t closed yet, I’ve ordered my first, have reserved a second for hi CRI. May want a third when I pick up number two. So if necessary, I’d like to list for a third. Thanks again guys! Beyond excited!

wow! placed my order yesterday. am in no.630 on the list. after 1 year and 8 months of patience finally it’s coming. ordered XP-L Hi but LH351D looks nicer tint & floodier. SST-20 beamshot would be appreciated.

placed my order of 2 lights. thank you guys

So someone coming along as a new member and declaring XP-L HI inferior, is extraordinarily ignorant.

Do all Carclo 3 LED optics fit?

This looks very interesting:

Just ordered my first one from Nealsgadgets, hallelujah it’s been a long wait. Many many thanks to all the people involved in donating their personal time and expertise to this project very excited to receive my first light. Will we be PM when the sst-20 emitter is available to order?

Thanks to the team for gettimg this over the line. Ordered a 7D, looking forward to the warmth! Probably like one of the other emitters too, please add me to the list again if necessary (was only down for 1).

Er, I enjoy little puzzles like that anyway. I doubt everyone does though.

Like, we were watching a sitcom one night and they posited a puzzle. So when the show was over, I went to go work out the answer. I ended up staying up too late because it was trickier than expected, but by golly, I finally found a solution.

FWIW, the puzzle was this:

• You are presented with a set of twelve identical diamonds, each one extremely valuable. Same size, same shape, same color, everything. Except one of them is fake, and it weighs more or less than the others.
• Along with these, you also have access to a balancing scale — the “scales of justice” type with two hanging platters, so it can only tell you which side weighs more.
• If you can determine which one is fake, you get to keep them all. Otherwise, you keep none of the diamonds.
• You can only determine the answer using the scale, and you can only use it three times.
• You must decide exactly which three measurements to make in advance, before you have actually measured anything.
• You don’t actually get to touch the goods. Someone else does the measurements and lets you see the result of each.
• The diamonds will only be given to you if you can prove that your method always works. They won’t give you anything if you guess which one is fake but can’t provide a reliable algorithm.

So, how do you figure out which one is fake?

Oh, and then they add in one more detail: If you like, you can double your payout if you attempt the problem for thirteen diamonds — but in that case, getting a wrong answer will land you in jail. So there is a harder version for those who are willing to play with higher stakes. Everything is the same except there is one more real diamond in the set, and you can also use one dummy weight which has the same mass as a real diamond.

Any ideas?

I would very much like to be notified when the SST-20 versions are available.

I’ll take one please

That’s really cool. What’s the best source to order Carlco optics from?
Edit:
Carlco optics are very cheap and easy available in local shops.

I thin I’ll buy all available 105xx optics.

Yes, all TIR lens from the same series (105xx) which share the same footprint, diameter and heigh will fit. Have fun with swapping and experimenting, first step to modding.
(Check each one’s PDF and compare dimensions if you have a doubt).

I’d say Arrow is your best bet. Prices are low and shipping is free.

You’ll know. Just look for the spike in a thousand posts in about a day. There will be the following spikes:

1. Now, because it’s ready to order. “I just got a PM telling me it’s ready to order! Yeah!” “I just placed my order. Yeah!”

2. In about 3-4 weeks, when people start getting them. “I just got a delivery notice! Yeah!” “I just opened the box! Yeah” “Etc.”

3. In about 4-5 weeks, when people start complaining about flaws. “OMG! The tailclip has a hole in it! I thought it wouldn’t have a hole! This is an outrage!”

4. Sometime soon after that, when the SST-20 version becomes available to order.

Repeat.

So, just look for the 4th spike.

Glad to see these come to fruition! Order for a Neutral coming on Tuesday. (#1223 on the list. ) This has been a fun project to watch!

The fw & the D4 are of similar size , I’m thinking the holster would be perfect for D4 ?

Please put me down for 1 more please.

About to order mine. Quick question. Any concerns on ordering a Q30 cell from the seller? I know everyone is always cautious with these.

No concerns here.

Just get a 30Q from Neal if you want one included with your light.

I’m interested in one FW3A SST-20.

Put me back on the list as BlueSwordM.

Please.
