Can I get a logo on my order?

bugsy36 · January 9, 2015, 12:09am

Is it still need reach 500 units to get copper mcpcb?

bugsy36 · January 12, 2015, 5:52am

I have not posed question to them as of yet for three reasons..

Waiting for sample stock units to arrive for modification and demonstration.
After sample stock units we can see what true interest numbers are.
I don't think we want to set a final price this early in the game as it can possibly go down if we can get the numbers.

Too many variables still. I honestly do think this light can and will be a success but unfortunately it isn't something that can be accomplished in a week - especially when performance for a brand spanking new light has to shown :) Hopefully the sample stock units will arrive soon so we can get this rockin and rollin :)

I asked earlier “Who would build the drivers for the release?”
Bugsy replied “Hank - the production run that will be installed in the BLF version of the A6 will be handled by EE.”

I ask because I’d like to know how specifically the driver is specified — what components, what quality of components.
Basically how much variation from the original handmade product before it’s no longer Wight’s driver.

I ask because I’ve seen a handful of people asking how come their various different lights are losing modes after a while — and I’ve seen that happen myself in one of two X6s (lost the low and the blink still has 2 brights and the SOS) and two of half a dozen SK68s, losing one or two of three modes —- where there’s no obvious reason except bit rot or “wounded” parts that eventually failed, fairly soon with minimal actual use.

It’s made me reluctant to trust without verifying.

I understand what you are saying and once upon a time I would even agree inferiority was the norm. I really do not think that is the case any longer. A percentage of defects will exist in everything and I do not know how to get around that. We cannot even say that parts from Digi-key and Mouser are better because they originate from Asia and I even had purchased defective caps for my monitor from Digi-key.

Did you ever look at your driver to see what may have caused the loss of modes? I had not heard of that happening with any of the EE and of the 15 X6-SE that I gifted to coworkers...7 are getting abused on a daily basis without any issues.

To manufacture these drivers here in the US will be cost prohibitive :)
