I don't understand the Okluma hype. For fun I put my email in for back in stock notifications on several lights just to see what happens. Over a year later, no email or updates on any products, yet I see some posts with people getting their new lights.. strange. IMO the customer support is terrible, they cannot keep up with the demand and their prices are ridiculous.
They'll never be in stock. It's not his business model.
There's a lotto where someone wins the right to buy one DC0 light.
Jeff is a nice guy and his lights are nice...i'm just not into the thrill of the seek. I want to buy and start using.
If you want an exotic light you can be added to the list and eventually, an exotic light is shipped.
Those are the only new lights okluma hard-users are getting.
I support folks like Laulima.... he's a real machinist turning out high-volume product with excellent customer service.
He's not machining rainbow unicorns to appease his fanbase. Prometheus has nice lights, too, just limited options.
