So all of your drivers have regulated low modes? Up to what current? How are they regulated? 7135 chips? Do you think you can buy Hank's drivers or Loneocean drivers that is said to be 90%+ efficiency? Neal will be selling the Loneocean drivers when its ready.

I will post all the details soon.

Going off of previous experience, we should expect 4x the lumens for roughly the same amount of throw. So if GT90 was 5000 lumens and 1.8mcd, then the GT4 90 should have 20,000 lumens and 1.6-1.8mcd.

There was talk (and a pic) of very large multi-emitter 90.2 from Acebeam a while ago, and Imalent may possibly have such in the works, too. Three, four, five, fourteen or 18 emitters: Collect all five!

Well Lumintop heard you guys(well actually Texas Ace) and the brand new Lumintop BLF GT94 will soon be available for preorder. Can you guess which emitters are in it?

OOPs twistedraven is already there, with the video above. This time the plan is to offer an option, to buy just the new head or the complete light.

I just bought a $1000 pressure washer from Home Depot and the plastic handle broke from dropping it where I stand to go turn off the pressure washer. I am guessing the plastic might have defects in it already as it shouldn't have broke. Anyhow, I called Dewalt and the agent told me that my handle isn't cover under warranty because I dropped it. I asked her what was I suppose to do? Lay it down on the ground lightly? Its a tool that was meant to be dropped where you stand. In my case it was less than 1m high since I am a shorty! She then said you don't drop your phone and expect it to be OK. I lost it and went off on her. I was like how can you compare a heavy duty industrial tool to a fragile glass phone? As far as I know everyone drop their pressure washer hose wand exactly where they stand to go turn it off. She then insist that its still my fault that I shouldn't have dropped it. Then I questioned how was I suppose to handle it then. She stayed quite. I had to asked her 4 times if she was still there. She was hoping I would just hang up but I was persistent as I know she is STILL there. Then she said she will transfer me to her supervisor. Put me on hold for a couple of minutes and then return and asked for serial, name and address. I guess her Supervisor told her send the kid a new handle. There is no way we are getting off the hook with this. Damn Dewalt customer service!

I agree with you. Electronic stuff should not be dropped. But construction contractor tools are expected to see real-world use.

The handle broke due to faulty design, inferior material or faulty workmanship, or all three.

That $1000 pressure washer probably wouldn't pass many of the tests Vinh used on his Sky Lumen SLN!!!!

But it certainly shouldn't have been damaged by normal use.

I used to held giveaways here once or twice a month but on the last few most people where not interested so I stopped.
How could anyone not be interested in free Vinh lights!?!

The Dewalt thing is crazy. She must have been having a bad day. That's the type of thing that will lose customers for life, and others when they hear about it.
