Thats up to Tom and TBD. I'll know one way or the other before releasing the service.
Thanks for considering!

Will new led be available with the new firmware like white flat or high cri samsung ?
Yes, the runtime numbers quoted here are worst case, with thermal controls disabled. Any time heat is reduced, power draw is also reduced, increasing runtime. A setting of 40c could easily double the runtime vs our worst case numbers.Does reducing the temperature ceiling to 40 or 45 in the Boss 35 have any effect on run times and batter life? I'm interested in this light, but somewhat concerned about the heat generated, if used in a medium output does the body still heat up the point of being to hot to hold?
Please explain what you mean by flat white.
I think he means the Osram LEDs.
White1 = W1 = OSRAM KW CSLNM1.TG
White2 = W2 = OSRAM KW CSLPM1.TG
Two types of LEDs. They are domeless (flat) like xpl-hi. They're all the rage with regards to throw due to the really small die size. Kind of like the XP-E LEDs.
How much more durable is 7075 aluminum compared to 6061? Does 7075 dent as easily as 6061?
We will not be producing new high CRI boards this year but do have a few 219c boards left from last year. They are being updated to 5.1 fw before finally assembly. We'll be deciding high CRI options later this year for inclusion in 2021 production. There are more CRI options than our last run so we will likely be poling for the new favorite. It sounds like samsung is yours? Please explain what you mean by flat white. Eyes change color on the fly so ideal tint can be anywhere between 4000 and 5500, depending on what light you were last viewing. We prefer 4000k for most applications.

Extra notes:
- levels under 10w do not get uncomfortable. levels new a few watts can barely be detected, even with limits disabled
- different metals have different heat capacity and delivery speeds, copper will feel hotter than aluminum
- 2 cells on higher levels heats up faster than 1 cell or lower levels
- each of the 4 pages has its own independent settings, including thermal limit
- ask in your order notes if you'd prefer set specific temperatures for any/all pages
Thanks for the link Ken. I think of it like so:How much more durable is 7075 aluminum compared to 6061? Does 7075 dent as easily as 6061?
I like the 4th preset. (4 High only with hidden medium (1/2 cell dual mode groups) for tactical uses.). But it's information overload with me. How do I select that 4th pre-program?
Supplies are limited this year but what there is will be concentrated in 35 aluminum this release!Will there be any 219c heads be available for upcoming BOSS 35 aluminum release?
Thanks for the link Ken. I think of it like so:
steel - strongest
titanium - stronger
7075 - strong
2024 - less strong
6061 - soft
1) enter 4 pin (flash flash flash flash on)
2) count the flashes until you see 4
3) turn power off
4) turn power on
5) test

Will all previous BOSS 35/70 models be able to be upgraded?
All 4000k XPL we buy are 70 criDoes anyone know what the CRI is for the XPL-HI?
Will all previous BOSS 35/70 models be able to be upgraded?
All v5 boards can be flashed to 5.1 so the main criteria for upgrade eligibility is can we access the pins. BOSS heads make that easy.
What about individually purchased OR boards? I presume that is not a problem also.
Is the Sony VTC6 the best 18650 battery to use in the BOSS 70?
Would this be a loose board or installed into something?
