Distance to target 740'/225 meters. Shot at 50mm to approximate natural perspective. There was a little bit of smoke in the air from a bonfire behind me.

I need one of these. Will they be very limited like the Deft-X or more availability like the TN31 you built a few years ago?

I understand you are a one man show that's why I'm gauging to see if I'll be able to snag one of these when they become available.

I still can't get over my two DEFT-X's, and neither can anyone else who sees their beams at night.

If a smaller version is available with even half the lux, I'd certainly want one (maybe two!).

Wow, seeing the picture on my computer as opposed to the phone emphasizes the fact that I seriously want one. The beam angle looks really small. I would assume single cell only?

Wow....I'm in for 1 or 2 for sure! When is the release date? Any ballpark figure on the price?

This is going to be a smaller run than the DEFT-X. For sure 30 units. If I have the time there may be a few more. 45ish max. It is also the time of year where the Wavien contract is almost up so there is no guarantee of any availabliliy past mid December.

Single 18650 or two 123 size cells. Highest output on two cells. I will release the performance numbers when I have more units built out but right now I will just say that given the diameter of the main optic(EF 34.4mm) this thing has searing performance. This light has what I strive for in all my OMG stuff. It is somewhat difficult to explain succinctly. It hits a "sweet-spot" in size to performance.

Dammit, wrong thread. That's what I get for having a million tabs open.

I have the older Deft EDC plus, etc...and, these are really handy form factors.

I can't wait to see the specs on these new versions.
