Exciting news, Craig, thanks. Do you know which drop-ins (M61's) you will be offering? And do you have an estimate for when they will become available in the store?
From what I have been told there's nothing really set in stone yet, just that the gears are turning and its going to happen. I would assume V3s of mostly everything.....
That all being said I'm as in as Hansel, I think for one of everything!

I didn't even know Craig was planning to do the r9080 219b; i'm guessing that he is no longer offering the 219b r9050 (219b v2) anymore?
although I haven't really been around much for the past 10 mos, so anything could have flown over my head.
Hey all! I'd like to mention that our nichia leds FINALLY came in, SW4085 D200 L2 R9080.. Yes, R9 of 80 instead of 50! this gets typical CRI to about 95 now..
wow! awesome news! thank you man!
I would like to know too

I have an m61t md2 on way but seen that it says it's a different size head is loaded on....an MDX 22.5.
....would something like an m61 9080 module fit ?, Or would a new host be needed?.
so a normal m61 md2 is different to an m61t md2 in head?.
thanks.

All that's different in the heads is the opening at the front. The originals had a 16.5mm hole and the newer ones a 22.3mm hole. You can put any of Gene's drop ins in either head, although the Tir drop ins like a larger aperture. Also the M61T and HOT won't fit in SF hosts as their sides are straight as opposed to sloping.

And if you use the 16.5 head with your M61T you will lose throw. Best to run them In the larger 22.3.I learned this the hard way as I wanted crenellations on my light. I found when I went to the 16.5 I did in fact lose a lot of throw which is why I bought it.

M61s, M31s, M361s is the plan.
Yes, we're planning on doing it pre-order style so no one will be left waiting for the next run, extras will be purchased of course.
correct, we ran out of LEDs from that batch!

A M361 that could take up to 9 volts would be fantastic!

there won't be new drivers designed for this run, so 3.4-6V is the standard input voltage for the M361. I'm afraid we can't redesign a reflector just for this run 
the nichia led is ever so slightly shorter than the cree one, hence the rings.

what?! redesign the reflector?
can you tell me more about that idea?
Seems like he said it's not an idea.

And THATS how rumors get started. Lol
yes I understood. In this run it seems that it will not be possible to change the reflector, but if he said that is because the idea of changing the reflector exists.
Do you understand my point of view?
Yep! lol
