    Most probably we will release SS and Ti during this year; not only that, we have made also 18650 3 Watt versions. If so, CPF people will be among the first to know. Javier

    It is brass, not copper. We made some Ti and SS samples, but up to now we don’t plan to manufacture them. Aluminum, I don’t think it would work as flawlessly as expected due to the conductivity issues aluminum has, if electric contact is alu/alu.

    We are following carefully every single case of stolen and lost item, and yes, they have been more than I ever experienced in my life, and the reason I’m sure it is the envelopes we used. Big fail; they were nice but a thieve’s magnet. Being said this, there are no more than 4 people now who...

    Hello all, Well I would like to use this post to explain some of the issues you have found on the lights and of course to thank you once again your support. 1. ON-OFF. On this light is "useless" and so was on the original. Some late productions had a mark on the head, but if you are...

    They will be after some time. By now they were just made for the kickstarter project supporters. We have made SS and Ti prototypes that I hope to release one day... It all will depend on the success of the current line. Javier

    Most probably will be used... even for those who think they won't use it. It is a very confortable light: warm, high CRI, nice distribution... and easy to put in pocket.

    Once the head has been redesigned to accept both, TIR lense and reflector + glass and both solutions tested again to meet our standards, production was launched and we have everything almost ready; now parts will be brushed, then the laser marking will be done, it will take very little to be...

    Re: You will love this NASA flashlight Hi all, We are so happy with the result of the funding campaign, and we have felt so much supported by you all that we have decided that or way of saying thank you is to allow each customer which date will be engraved on his light, real date or 7-1968...

    Re: You will love this NASA flashlight Thanks for your kind words. Yes, this kind of polls have some risks... If we send to every people what they have asked, this will result in risk of mesh with the shippings. But we are studying it or offering another option... I will let you know very...

    Correct. The alkaline behavior seems weird, but what you can see is a real word test. It works like this.

    Of course it is a working flashlight, as every Barbolight, made to be used and abused. And yes, although some parts are sealed is possible to open them and replace every part needed. Which is on the other hand quite difficult to happen. It is waterproof, has an XPL-HI under driven at 10% of its...
