If this is still open, I’d like 1x 3D
Good to hear that they will make them as needed
And not that i am planning to order more before i receive my first one, but does this mean that we are free to order any amount now and not only the ones we signed up for?
Id be interested in one!
Can I have one in 3D please. Many thanks
If the light is still green please count me in for 1 x 3D. Thanks a lot, ToyKeeper!
What date did they ship? Mine shipped on the 24th and last tracking update was Sep 25th Processed Through Sort Facility in SHENZHEN.
My order came in today. It’s a nice-looking light, and now I can start modding one that I’ve been saving some parts for.
Both of my units perform as expected, though the battcheck levels on one are off by like 0.15V so it says the battery is lower than it really is. It will be getting reflashed, after I’ve finished measuring it.
The black-and-silver color scheme works well:
Here is how it compares to some of the other BLF special edition lights: (anodized BLF A6, bare aluminum BLF A6, original BLF EE X6, steel+copper BLF X6v2 prototype)
People had been very curious about the logo engraving, and so was I. Here are three shots at increasing zoom levels to show the detail:
With no anodized layer to smooth out the surface, the knurling is very grippy and even the smooth parts of the light have a texture which increases friction. Aluminum is pretty soft though, so if you want to polish the surface it shouldn’t take a great deal of effort. However, it also will be relatively easy to dent and scratch.
Oh, and with no anodizing, the tail threads feel a bit rough. I’ll have to try cleaning and lubing them to see if it helps, but it seems to help if I push the tailcap down a little while twisting.
Yes, I think so. I guess they worked out a way to make more when needed, so it doesn’t need to be limited any more.
To clean the threads you could try spinning the threads in fine steel wool. I believe OL first suggested this and l have used this on my own threads without issue.
I would like a one in 3D tint if possible.
Possible go get the coupon?
Placed an order for one 5A.
I always rendered the A6 boring, but in bare aluminum I simply could not resist anymore.
Now I’m excited too. :party:
Looks great! I’d like a coupon, too.
Would like to get 1 x 3D if it’s still open!
Thanks much,
AL
I would love to have a coupon, please!!
Mine arrived today!
Works fine, nothing to complain.
Thanks for this flashlight project and GB!

Welcome to BLF, AdAm0. I still have to collect enough courage to sign up for TLF (and actually start writing in german), but I do silently visit there every now and then :-)
Thank you for this warm welcome, djozz!
Just dare and sign up to TLF! Dutch flashaholics are also welcome at TLF!
