Am I the only one who is pumped to see some more info on this light? I hope it is not so cuz I can't buy enough of them on my own for Enrique to justify a run.

I'd also be interested.My Arc AAA seems so old-fashioned right now.
(don't quite have the money right now,but I'll wait..)
Seems like the reincarnation of the Arc AA.

After using the Mako for a good long time now, I can surely say this is the best light I own in terms of everything - be it fit/finish, performance, LED whiteness (pure white to my eyes), or just the shape/size and look/feel. The AA seems very, very tempting, and I'll probably start saving now itself to purchase this one. I would ideally want to maintain the same feel as that of a Mako without a pocket clip as the size seems to be very small. Given the toughness of Mako, it is easy to just drop it in your pocket without the fear of damaging it. Twisty as well. 
I am with you on the Mako choombak. The more I use my Mako, the more I am pumped about the Orca. This might seem an odd thing to say, but when it is really dark, the Mako is perfect. A bigger spread between the low and high modes on the Orca would be perfect.

I have used my Mako every day since I received it. Awesome. Would prefer a lower low and a higher high. I really have come to appreciate the ultra smooth action on the mako. Nice job Enrique. High CRI is my choice also. Enrique, is it possible to update us on your progress on the Orca? Thanks.

A Nichia 219 orca would be sweet, but with the led exposed it may not work. I'm sure what ever Enrique comes up with will be awesome.

Can the LED be potted in clear material? I really do not mod LED's, but I was just curious. The Nichia 219 would be a real nice light source for sure.

Hello Everyone,
I've been waiting on a few pieces to test here and suppliers have been dragging their feet with a few critical parts, but it will likely be some time yet before the Orca is ready and you can expect some design and spec changes when that happens - it was probably a little premature of me to post the renders before the design was ready for production since there's still work to do before it's ready.
In the interim, when I get enough time to adequately manage a new batch of lights I'll pop in here and post the details. The Orca may not necessarily be first on the list for that (I have a few other things designed and already tested), but it will be something new.
Thanks folks,
Enrique

Thanks for the update, Enrique. We are all certainly eager to see it / buy it, but we all understand that quality takes time!
