Re: Introducing "Draco"

OK after running the numbers thru our our machineshop, accountants, and several prominent members here are the preliminary pricing.

=== Aluminum 6061-T6 (Nickel Electroless plating) ===
Draco (complete light) ... $149.99
Turbo head... $49.99
Extended Battery Pack (AAA) ... TBA

=== Titanium 6AL-4V (TiN / TiCN coating) ===
Draco (complete light) ... $254.99
Turbo head... $119.99
Extended Battery Pack (AAA) ... TBA

* $0.01 fuel surcharge per item.

<Marketing Tone Enable>

Standard light features.
- Integrated E-Can = improve thermal management
- Optical grade Sapphire lens = improve durability & light transmission
- McR-11 reflector = improve beam profile
- Premium S@O@ LuxI emitter = maximize light output at no power cost
* Optional: U@O@ LuxIII emitter = ideal for overdrive.
- Custom O-ring seal = water proof
- Constant Current Regulation (60mA / 350mA) = minimize degradation of LED
* Optional: uPIC PWM (lo/hi/burst) = achieve maximum brightness
- Battery spacer
- Keychain attachment

Benefit / Drawback
+ Smallest and lightest Luxeon based semi-production light
+ Brightest light in its class, well it's the only light in the class.
+ Rechargeable and low cost of operation
- So small it's easily misplace if not properly storage
- Friends will borrow and keep it indefinitely
- Your wife (significant other) will also want one

I'm still in for an Aluminum version. (Serial #112 - I don't care about the serial number for the light, although if 21 does open up I'd love to have it)

A few questions:
1. What are the current levels for the uPIC? (I'm hoping lo and hi will be equal to the standard model (60/350) and burst will be whatever the battery can provide without exploding.)

2. Is there a price premium for the uPIC and/or U-bin LuxIII?

3. Any special behavior for the uPIC - is it similar to a 2-stage switch (twisting one direction advances through stages, twisting opposite direction backs down through stages to off)?

Thanks

Re: Introducing "Draco"

Modamag, CroMAGnet,
I'm #132 and #133 on the list. After reviewing the specs posted, please change my request to:
#132 TiN, no Turbo, Constant Current Regulation, Lux I.
#133 Al, no Turbo, Constant Current Regulation, Lux I.
Awaiting pricing and runtimes on the extended battery packs.
Turbo head a little too much for me

That's one heck of a deal for such a powerful and versatile tiny custom flashlight!

OK! So now that the prices have been announced, please confirm your interest for SN and options so I can split off the lists for Al, TiCN and TiN. Post 6 list will have numerical list priority.

Please put your 2nd choice if you want a Draco either way, at the posted prices. Hopefully everyone gets what they want.

Modamag....
You might want to change the Thread title to "Confirm Your Draco Options. Paypal coming soon" or something like that, because we have to have the requests confirmed available before they paypal.

:D

Re: Introducing "Draco"

Confirming #39 Ti w/TiCN. Extended battery back. No turbo head.

Question regarding PIC option. I assume that that hi/lo regulated brightness is the default an PIC PWM controlled brightness is the option? I'd prefer just hi/lo regulated.

Thanks
