Good Luck!

Sound like this is the holy grail of Flashlight lens!

99% light transmittance, and impact resitance too!

I'd like two orange peel, cammed. RussH

Woohoo! optokoyama, choptokoyama!

(luck is wished)

 

[flash....]

I would definately like one for HID conversion.

 

[JonSidneyB]

I am starting to think 6 of these...

 

[jhanko]

Do you know if this cammed reflector will fit the Magcharger? If so, I'll take one.

 

[Alan_L]

I would like to get one

 

[benyosh]

Put me down for 2ea, cammed. Thx.

 

[SilverLegacy]

I would like 7 for fellows in Japan. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif

The MagCharger uses a different reflector. I don't know if the dimensions are similar. Would it be possible to send a picture of a MagCharger reflector and some dimensions?

 

[Wolfen]

I'd like 2. I'd prefer cammed orange peel.

thanks,
Tim

 

[radellaf]

At $25, yeah, I'd probably have to have one, and would want a half dozen.

 

[John N]

Could you post a picture of of the Mag at wide focus with the stock bulb?

Thanks,

[Y2Kirk1028]

I'll take 3...

 

[JonSidneyB]

how many people does it take to make this order possible. And what are the break points in price???

[/ QUOTE ]One is enough to make the order possible, if the price is right. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif The previous run was for 49 units and Carley gave no price break. I don't know exactly where Carley's price break points are.

This weekend I'll work up a few engineering diagrams with various options, submit them to Carley for quotes, then I'll pick the one that seems a suitable compromise between what Carley can do and what I can do such that CPFers get a decent value.

For example, if a fully custom model with an integral cam costs too much, I might go with a stock reflector, make cams myself, and hold them in place with a set screw. The performance will be identical, but instead of paying Carley it then requires more of my time.

I want to cut the contour that makes the reflectors fit the Mag C/D heads myself to personally ensure that every single one fits well.

I'll total up the numbers on Sunday night after CPFers get a full weekend to see this tentative offer (and to hopefully hear reports on the camless version) and determine the quantity from that.

It sounds like a great idea for Carley to do a custom run of reflectors for us flashaholics. I'm in for at least 2. Want me to bug some contacts that I have there?

[Larry1582]

I want one of the cammed orange peel reflectors! Maybe two, depending on the final price.

 

[John N]

I suspect I would be in for two or three.

Change my pre-order from (4) to (6) units. Thanks.
