NOW SELLING - The LionHeart

[Fitz]

As far as the Clif Note Jones AKA Raggie fund payment goes, my original intention was to see if enough people were willing to pitch in a couple bucks extra each to get the cost down to around the $150.00 mark for him so he wouldn't have to drop out. It's up to Charlie how he wants to take the payments and how he wants to figure out what Raggie will owe in the end.
I would think just noting on your PayPal that there's Raggie money in addition to your payment will work but I'll defer to the Man-in-charge.

I am in for $10.00 for the Raggie fund.

 

[cue003]

There are 55 people on the Raggie Scholarship fund. if we divide the 233 by the 55 then each person owes 4.25 (give or take a couple...I rounded up) per person.

Why don't we see what Raggie is willing to come up with and we foot the rest? How is that? If he can only come up with $150, then we pay the difference etc like what fitz suggested. If he can come up with less then so be it we fill the difference still.

Just my thoughts and basically a re-iteration of what Fitz already stated.

Thanks.

Curtis

Maybe we could set a figure, say $4 or $5 or even a kind of it is up to you amount. That $$ would be added to the payment for the Raggie fund. Charlie and Raggie are the ONLY ones, in my opinion, that really need to know what Raggie feels he can afford. I don't even want to know. The difference.. .. .. to the HAT for all the wonderful things they are doing for us.

That is just my suggestion and knowing Charlie, he probably already has an even better idea in mind. Whatever you decide Charlie will be good by me.

every month or so i can come up like with 30 or so that is why raly i dont deserve the lh to i find more better income. ya all realy should keep ya money and use it as extra batts for ya lh.s or something ,as i said above im very very happy just reading about it but it will be cooler when people start to revice there lights that my fav part well i like it all lol /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif only person i have to blame for my finacal sitiation is my self.ive been so bleesed from you all already. it always toches my heart all the kind stuffpeople do for me. but i dont realy deserve it.but this is one alsume light it is fun beingg part of this comunty seeing are awesume mooders and builders lead the way in lighting /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/buttrock.gif /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/bowdown.gif

 

[JonSidneyB]

I think there is enough of us to get raggie one out right with full set up. Still in for 10 bucks here.

 

[BC0311]

Raggie, I'm sorry if any of this is uncomfortable for you, it would be for me if I were in your place. All of us who are on the list are doing this because we like you and want you to have a LionHeart.

I like how Javafool put it. If everybody just gives what they want to give, it will all be covered. I assure you it will all be covered.

Now let's not discuss the math and spare Raggie some discomfort, eh? /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif

Or we each throw in 10 bux each. Raggie is covered and the Hat team has enough left over for a well deserved dinner treat from all of us! Yeah!!

[JonSidneyB]

That sounds like a wonderful idea. Dinner for the Hat guys with the change.

 

[raggie33]

but i dont think i deserve it.ya all do so much for me already. im happy just to see beam shots charlie posted some at top a thread man is cool stuff. i thank ya all so much for all ya have done for me.im going to play lottoo when i get payed.i seldem play but every once in a while i buy to qucik pick tickets.. by the way everyone check out the secret features there very very cool .

 

[4x4Dragon]

im now officially opening the "4X4Dragon Fund" /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/blush.gif /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif

yeah right! this light is just a little outta my league, i guess. im drooling now, but i just didn't pay it the attention it deserved at first, as im behind on times with the flashlight mods. around the time everyone was gearing up for the VIP(another one i fell behind on) i think i was probably trying to save up for something like an Everled. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/crazy.gif

heck, im just now getting a Luxeon upgrade for my SF E1e, a PR-T(yeah, i know, old news)! the PR-T will just have to hold me over, im sure it will as im shaking in my boots to get it /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/buttrock.gif

Anyways, Raggie, you must be some kinda person to get all this attention. therefore, even though i can't afford the LH myself, i would like to contribute some $ to your fund as well. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/bowdown.gif where do i paypal to? anyone?

man this light makes you feel like you're not a true flashaholic for NOT getting one /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/banned2.gif

 

[JonSidneyB]

Hey raggie,

no need for lotto, we got you covered....end of story....no need to worry. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grinser2.gif

Re: The LionHeart LIVES!!!

Many people have expressed a real need for some type of attachment point for this light. The LionHeart is small, expensive and easy to loose and many consider the lanyard attachment point to be a very necessary part of the light.

You've been asked about 10 or 15 times in this thread about what the attachment point for this light is going to be but
you haven't answered that question yet and I really think you should.

I know that I need some kind of lanyard attachment point to make sure this light doesn't leave my posession.

Please address this issue for us.

 

[Topper]

Raggie, do what you can afford without pushing anything we got you covered cuz we love you man plain and simple. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grouphug.gif

Charlie, any response to my earlier post?

I have a thought for the un-disclosed super special feature:
A battery strength meter that shows battery strenght/state of charge by blinking a code sequence, such as:

5 flashes for 100-80% charge remaining
4 flashes for 79-60% charge remaining
3 flashes for 59-40% charge remaining
2 flashes for 39-20% charge remaining
1 flash for CHARGE ME NOW PLEASE!!!

MikeF,

There will be no design by committee, I apologize. The light is the way it is. Fitting any kind of "meter" or other sugggestions entails more than you probably realize, both in cost and time.

Everyone wants a light made to Their exact desires (hey, who wouldn't?), and backs that up with words such as "Many people have expressed" and "You've been asked about 10 or 15 times" (see rfdancer's post above).

Strong words. Makes me kinda feel like I'm being treated as though I took everyone's money for months already and have not responded to any queries. At least it seems rfdancer holds that kind of emotion towards me.

Ten or fifteen out of 400-500 is not "many", and I would be catering to the minority. As Mr. Spock said, "The needs of the many outweight the needs of the few".

And so it shall be. I am not a SureFire or Maglite. The way the LionHeart is right now, is the best I can do.

There is still the possibility of a pocket clip, but it may have to become available later as a retrofit kit. If this does not suit you, kindly remove your name off the list.

Curtis, if you Don't hold the button in when installing the battery, it simply remains the way it was when you last used it. It has permanent "flash memory", or firmware.

Ninj, I am thinking to accommodate only the first 200 units, but then again it's only another 50-60% more to accommodate Everyone on List 1. We'll see, I'm still making calls and crunching numbers.

As for the Raggie Fund I am fine with dividing $233 by the total number of listed contributors. As cue003 posted, it should really only be a few bucks each then. Any overage (although there should not be any) would/could be contributed to CPF, how's that?
