will still crash his site

HTS scenario... evil flashlight maker gives tantalising hints. Hack his site to find out exactly what the light is!! (I suspect that was too nerdy for 90% of people reading this!)

HTS is pretty fun. Don't remember how far I got but it wasn't too shabby. But I don't think there are any HTS games on 4seven's site, nor would any information just be hidden for keen minds. You'd be better off getting him to slip up and reveal information.

I haven't even got my hands on a LF5XT yet, and this looms. Wow it's going to be an interesting summer!

 

[tygger]

Had a blackout just now for about an hour so like a good flashaholic I went outside and played with my lights.


I'm back now, and I offer you this picture.

Does the keypad come in black w/GID buttons?

}oo:{ I'm wondering if this 7777Light makes any noises while it's in use ?

Amazing, how many people are on the hype, without any real information on the lights! You guys, who pre-ordered the lights already have my true respect as beeing REAL Flashaholics!

But I can understand! I found myself visiting fenix-store.com more than just once. I was really about to order the 1xCR123 light.

The only reason, that hold me back is, that I prefere a 2xCR123 size! I hope, if 4sevens is successfull with his lights, that he will expand and bring out more of them! Maybe someday, there will be a 2xCR123-light, made by him. But who knows? Maybe I am going to get a new "backup"light?!?!?

Bye,

Stephan

....without any real information on the lights!

The more I think about my preorder, the more I realise that it isn't really a blind purchase at all. For me, new to quality lights, what do I have to go on? Tech specs, facts and figures from websites, that's all. After all, I ordered my first 2 lights a few weeks ago (TK10 and P1D Q5) based purely on numbers on a list (which I didn't really understand anyway) and comments made by users. For this light, being new around here I don't actually know 4sevens or anything about him, but if enough people say enough good things enough times, that sells the light for me better than any spec sheet.

My only concern is that the preorder will be oversubscribed and it could be ages until I actually get mine, but at least the order is done, so I'm on the list.

Hi Guys!

As you can see I am new here on the forum. Not many days ago I didn't even know the word "flashaholic".

I came here to read reviews to buy my first "real" flashlight (not counting flashlights under $5 in the supermarket). From what I understand the flashlight technology has changed a lot the last years with the improvement of LED's.

Reading this thread people say that you must be a flashaholic to buy one of the 4sevens lights "unseen".

So do you guys think that pre-ordering a D10 would be a good introduction to the flashaholic world for me?

 

[kaichu dento]

I couldn't find the D10, coming up with Deoxit instead!?!

As a first light, if you want it to use AA batteries which I assume you do as you mentioned the D10, I would suggest a Fenix L1D Q5. You won't have to wait, and it would be a great starter for you.

We are talking R2's here, right ?

The Fenix L1D Q5 is one of the lights I am interested in (together with LF5XT and JET-I MK I.B.S), but compared to the L1D Q5 the D10 is the same price, a little bit smaller (3.5 in x 0.75 in instead of 3.8 in x 0.8) and something the flashaholics seems to be interested in.

Waiting is no problem if it's a newer and better light, but since it's not out yet we don't really know that... (I think 4sevens should tell us everything, we promise to not tell anyone )

 

[Jarl]

If you can wait just over a week for official stats, do. If you can't, go for the L1D. Even if you then get the D10 you can buy an L2D body tube for it and have a light with longer runtimes, etc, and sell on the L1D body tube if you no longer want it.

 

[Niconical]

If you don't mind waiting, and you're OK with not actually seeing the light first, then of course, preorder the D10. If you think that your first light will not be your only light, and you are likely to start collecting, even just 1 or 2 more, then I'd suggest starting with an L1D Q5, then moving on to others like the mysterious D10 at a later stage when it isn't quite so mysterious.

Either way, either light, I'm sure you won't be disappointed.

The D10.......is something the flashaholics seems to be interested in.

Although the opinions and knowledge on here are invaluable, I wouldn't put too much weight on flashaholics "being interested in it". You could dangle a AA battery with a light bulb glued to it in front of most, and within minutes there will be a post, a reply preordering it, a reply reviewing it, a reply wanting to wait for the 18650 version, and probably at least 1 member who is modding the lightbulb to accept a malkoff drop-in.

:welcome:

 

[Imothep]

Ordered it too.

 

[orcinus]

Yes... it goes -- "Lite_me" .. "Lite_me"

Noooo, it plays an intro clip of Lite My Fire in an endless loop

damn! I've just noticed there's 5 more pages here since I looked yesterday!

Looks eerily similar to LF5XT's back end:

Very similar. (Is that a clue?)

Damn. I should've waited for this with my order

You mean you already ordered a LF5XT or you don't want a light made by Liteflux?

I'm waiting - I don't want a complicated UI.

....Actually, what I really want is a P7-D with no strobe or SOS.

.....Or something like an A2 but with lasers instead of 5mm LEDs.

No, i already have an order coming my way from fenix-store
And my paypal finger twitches every day i see an LF5XT thread
And i REALLY shouldn't spend any more money

(Edit: damn... my birthday's coming up... must... resist... arrggghhh!)

Any chance of a beamshot/description of the beam? This will decide whether I pre-order or not
