Hi there Saabluster,
I would like to place an order for the DEFT, R2 WH (or best available LED to be used with the throwing aspheric) with international shipping.
As an aside, judging from what I know about lights (which is a reasonable amount) and from where the DEFT's claimed performance lies, you probably have created the longest throwing pocketable torch ever made. Perhaps you could contact guiness because qualifying for entry in a category could be great free publicity.
Also, and I am not being cynical here, just realistic. I feel if this light is going to have mainstream appeal, and be canvassed on masse, not just to a fanatical CPF customer base, its appearance needs to be refined a little. I know the head needs to be big to fit the large aspheric and that you've kept the body small as to keep the light portable (pocketable?), hence a functional design, but its appearance isn't all that harmonious. I know it's only early days and Im not taking pot shots, just tryna give some constructive criticism but in my opinion the lights aesthetic is a little disjointed/clunky and could use some reworking in future incarnations - perhaps when you've made enough profit from selling gen 1 DEFTS on cpf! At the end of the day us CPF folks aren't overly fussed by appearance when the performance of a light is off the charts like yours, but consumers might be.
Anyway, hat off for creating such a beastly little light .
