I would have definitely been in on the group buy for the A6, I already have an A2 and A5 :+1:

But I’m not on reddit nor do I intend to be.

In the original post I said that you don’t need to join reddit. You may post “In” here too. I also edited the OP to indicate that more clearly, too. Thanks.

Cool, I’m terrible for skimming through posts and always miss the important stuff

I’m in!

MascaratumB:

if I decide to get the A6, as I am not a reddit user, can we talk about that or it is imperious that I join the group?

No need to join reddit. I’ll tally the “In’s” from BLF as well. Just comment here and say “In.” That’ll be good enough.

Thanks!

Oh, thanks for clarifying that
Well, I can’t say ‘I’m In’, yet, I’ll have to look to my finances! I will post again before Tuesday so that you have the final list!

Damn…I don’t need…but I waaaaant… But I wanna buy stuff to mod other lights…. :weary: :zipper_mouth_face: :person_facepalming:

I’ll solve myself and will tell you later mate! Thanks again

Looks like a great light!
But I have no budget for it.

Hey mate, after all I won’t be able to enter the GB for the Aurora A6 :zipper_mouth_face:
Some extra expenses appeared so I can’t get this one… Not this month at least
Thanks again and I wish you luck on the GB

Can you lock it?

MascaratumB · 2019-01-21T10:32:32.000Z

Tom6:

Can you lock it?

Nop, but there is no need It has a “long” press to turn it ON, so an accidental activation is not a thing that happens easily !

thanks

I’m bummed that I learned about the Aurora A6 too late… missed the group-buy. How is everyone enjoying their A6? Is this hard clear polymer shell pretty resistant to scratches from rubbing up against keys? How good does the Nichia tint look?

The original A5 is still offered on BG for $36 and then if you search for M4DM4X discount, it’s 20% off that. But I’d gladly pay $36 for the Nichia version. I had a Nitecore TIP CRI that I really liked, but it failed miserably on me. First was DOA, and replacement ended up dying after just 3 weeks. The Aurora A6 looks like a really interesting alternative.

MascaratumB · 2019-02-10T19:41:44.000Z

I’d suggest to take a look at the A8! In my opinion it is better than the A6 at the UI level ( no strobes and has Moonlight)!!

FYI rovyvon.com currently has a sale that gives you 20% off the Auroras. Free shipping and it looks like they’re fulfilling from their US allocation. I’d recommend going with the A8 as well for the moonlight mode and no inline strobe.

Thanks — I didn’t see any 20% off shown…. does that get applied when you check out?

Agg… I waited too long. It’s gone.

Anyway, in a way that’s good because I’m intrigued by the A8 you mentioned and I’m thinking that would be a better light to go with, for just a little more money. It’s really great to see a brand nicely responsive to the flashlight community. I was actually able to communicate with Ken over on Reddit. Nice guy.
