SPY 007 Sales thread #5

This thread is closed, all lights sold. :)

There are currently neutral white 007's and bright white 007's available.

This sale is for the standard machined finish version of the 007 and now also for the SW GG finish. The Stone Washed Gunner Grip finish is available, see below. The SPY 007 SW Gunner Grip Option will built to order.

Below is a pic of the optional SW GG finish. It is available now.

COST:

The price of the 007 is $995.00 plus shipping, and insurance. You can send me a check in the mail or I take PayPal. There is no additional PP fee. The shipping charges are below.

The Stone Washed Gunner Grip option is $1395.00. The details on that optional finish can be found here.



SHIPPING:

I charge for the actual shipping cost:

Next day shipping to all USA locations is $30.00 (CUSA only)

Shipping to Canada is $33

Express Mail Shipping to all countries outside the USA is $33.00

Priority Mail Shipping is not offered.





INSURANCE:

All lights shipping to USA locations will be insured by me for $500.00. If you want additional shipping insurance email me and I will get you a rate.



All the lights going to countries outside of the USA will be insured at $100 value and claimed for that same value. They MUST be the same, no exceptions. Insurance for more than $100 is additional and it will change the claimed value. The risk is yours. I recommend and use Express Mail because it is very reliable. FedEx is even more secure and costs more as well.



PAYPAL and FEES:

There is no additional PayPal fee. If you are paying by PayPal, I will only ship to a PayPal-confirmed address. If I do not know you, I reserve the right to wait for payments to clear before I ship.



If you live in Pennsylvania the sales tax is 6% of the cost of the light.



Please PP your totals to my PP address: [email protected]





EMAIL:

Please follow up your post with an email to me. The subject line of the email should be SPY 007 sale contact information. Please use this format for your personal information:



Full Name,Address 1,Address 2,Address 3,City,State,Zip Code,Province,Country,Phone Number,E Mail,CPF Name,



I need the phone numbers too.





Disclaimer: All the lights in this sale are new and unused. They are in as perfect condition as I can make them. What that means is they have no major blemishes but they do have cutter marks, tooling marks, and material imperfections. If you cannot stand a light that has the tiniest of scratch on it, then I recommend you buy a McGizmo light, they are perfect. :) The batteries were new when the lights started the build but they have been used for setup and testing. I estimate they still have 80% of their power. All lights sold in the USA will have batteries included. Any lights sold to other countries will not have batteries. The 007 software has changed slightly.



My email is cpfdata at coolfall.com. That is also my PayPal ID. It is in my sig below.





Cheers

Dave

Re: SPY 007 Sales thread #5

Please could we have a summary of the programming instructions for the SPY007X including saving the programming to the allocated slots and checking the current levels?

It would be nice to have that as a sticky thread.

Dave, maybe I can ask you to preset my level 6 to 1400ma before you send it out?
I'm reluctant to mess about with the software and haven't done so with my Tri-V either.

Re: SPY 007

Written by Launch Mini on 12-17-2010 09:17 AM GMT

I guess to be more specific, my question on programming the power levels would be,
Since the Tri V has 3 LEDS, it was a combo of R & A displaying increase by 1, 10 0r 100, thought this might be the programming change and how this would work. Maybe the LED will have different stobes to inidcate how much one changes the level by or too? Or maybe it still ramps up & down the same, but we now have 4 slots for programming.
I will like this feature as I seem to be always switching the low from stock to low to really really low. Same for hight. Boooyaaah.
Wonder if the easter eggs are gone? I set mine on stobe and placed them in window boxes for hallowe'en effects.

That's the understatement of this thread! It's more like a key selling point in my opinion. Tri-V-like superpowers? Able to set each of 6 modes and 4 slots? Not having 3 emitters to divide between each of the 4 slots' 6 level positions effectively creates 24 levels of light! I can't wait!

I don't want to link another man's sales thread here, but here are two photos showing a difference between a cool white XP-G R5 LED and a neutral white XP-G R4 LED. Please note, colors and tints can vary slightly based on a number of factors, drive current being one. Props to Steve Ku, these are his beam shots, and I only post the pics here for color comparisons. If this is a forum no-no, I'll remove post haste.

Here is the neutral XP-G R4 (unknown drive current). Notice the softer color, as compared to the cool white.

Fantastic, thank you. I assumed that's what it was. Is there any particular advantage of one over the other in the SPY? I always prefer a bit of a warner tone w/ my lights but I'm intrigued that Dave mentioned they are way less popular.

Re: SPY 007
Sales thread #5

Written by jslappa on 12-18-2010 10:34 AM GMT

while you generally lose a few lumens in the neural emitters vs the cooler emitters, it really just boils down to two camps. Those who prefer the bright white, and those who prefer colors more closely resembling sunlight. Now that these Spy's can be ramped up to 1.4Amps, the loss of lumens really becomes less significant and effectively brings the argument right back to personal preference. Do you want blindingly bright white or blindingly bright yellowish?

Reminds me of the car commercial running on television right now with the hamsters dressup like B-Boys singing "you can get with THIS, or you can get with THAT". I love when they are in the car bobbing their heads.

I like both, but the neutral will have less lumens than the cool white. So why they would be less popular, is that when people are looking for higher output, they don't want to lose some by having a neutral or warm tint.
Now pushing at 1.4 both will be very bright indeed.

Knowing I could push it to 1.4 may have swayed into getting the neutral. I went cool for the extra oomph. I was on the fence right until I PP'd Dave the money.

jslappa, thanks for posting that.

Tiny, those photos are pretty close to what a camera sees with these two different emitter color temperatures. BUT, and this is a really big but, that is not what your eye sees. The camera processor is doing white balance and so is your brain, and the two do it in a different way.

The neutral emitter is designed to look like a sunlight kind of beam. The bright white is not necessarily more blue, it is simply a higher color temperature. When I point these bright white XP-G LED's at my white wall I do not see blue like in that photo above. They are a pure white.

People ask me all the time what emitter to get and I simply tell them most people prefer the bright white in everyday use. But not all, some prefer the warmer color temp of the neutral white and even some like the warm white.

For the 007 I prefer the bright white color and the fact that it has more power. At night outside the bright white blasts farther into the woods than the neutral white does. Inside around the house the neutral white renders better red tones in objects and so is better for photography. That is why I put a warm white emitter in the Tri-V flood, because I use it for photography all the time with my SLR, my point and shoot and my iphone.

As you may already know with Cree emitters the bright white is 6500K, the neutral is 5500k and warm white is 2500K to 4500K. If you go look at fluorescent bulbs at Walmart you will see they sell them in all these various color temps.

Ok, I'll have a look at that. Are the default current levels the same as they were for the other SPY007s?
Is it PU3 to restore to factory settings?

Spy007XPG_01.JPG


RE: Cool vs. neutral. Obviously this is not a place to start a back and forth conversation. But my preference is to neutral - possibly because I am a bit red/green colorblind. So a bit more light in the red/green spectrum makes things more pleasing to my eyes.

Besides - Daves description of neutral being at 5500k is cooler than most. This is probably a 3X tint. I believe most neutrals are sold in the 5X tint range and warm is the 7X/8X tint range for the Cree leds. I think it is very much a personal preference thing, but I am glad I got the neutral - it may even be still a bit to cool for me.

Re: SPY 007
Sales thread #5

Written by Launch Mini on 12-18-2010 04:11 PM GMT

Dave,
Without have the 3 emitters to signal what step, light or power we are in...
I am guessing then to set the levels it would be something like:
1 - Power up in #4
2 - While the light is flickering, select a knob position ( ie #5 to set this position)
3 - Set knob to P1
4 - Light will flicker
5 - This is the tricky part. To set this to say 800mAh, we would click three times ( ie pass 1, 10 & land on 100), then dial back & forward 8 times for 800?
6- Set knob to P0

With the Tri-V, there was the combo of R, A, then R&A to indicate which level ( 1, 10 or 100) we were setting, with only one emitter, what will we be seeing? Single flash, double flash, triple flash?
Thanks

I don't know what I will do with 4 memory banks since there is only one LED, but definitely 2 - one for indoors and one for outdoors.

for outdoors.

Dave,
Without have the 3 emitters to signal what step, light or power we are in...
I am guessing then to set the levels it would be something like:
1 - Power up in #4
2 - While the light is flickering, select a knob position ( ie #5 to set this position)
3 - Set knob to P1
4 - Light will flicker
5 - This is the tricky part. To set this to say 800mAh, we would click three times ( ie pass 1, 10 & land on 100), then dial back & forward 8 times for 800?
6- Set knob to P0

With the Tri-V, there was the combo of R, A, then R&A to indicate which level ( 1, 10 or 100) we were setting, with only one emitter, what will we be seeing? Single flash, double flash, triple flash?
Thanks
You got it exactly right. For dialing in the power, there is no feedback with the lights as there was with the Tri-V. But it is not needed. Just think to your self. Go home(P1), you will know you got there as it will be flickering, then count in your head 1, 10, 100, . . . I never used the lit emitter code in the Tri-V anyway.

Cheers
Dave

Dave,

I'm not sure if this question has already been asked but will you be offering support for an XP-G upgrade (brass ring, etc.) for older 007s through Milky or Wayne?
On my end, yes, it could happen. Both of these modders are very capable.

If you want to talk about this please email me.

Hi 2010,

Yes, there are many reviews in the other Cool Fall threads. And of all the ones I have read I don't think I have seen a major negative thing said about either the 005 or the 007 lights. I have owned a 007 longer than any other light with the exception of my Arc LS. Once I started using the 007 it kinda cured me of buying other lights! Thanks Dave!! Of course I am buying a new one just as soon as Dave can get it finished!! :devil:

Well, my day could not get any better. Received a few fantastic Ti lights today. Of course, Spy 007x #0519 arrived right on cue. Data, perhaps next time you could find a LARGER box to pack it in! Great idea, because it will be quite difficult for the Postal Service to lose that thing!

Also, Tri-V #0442 arrived, and is getting along quite nicely with the new spy. He is a little jealous that he does not have "Cool Fall" inscribed on him. They have become great friends already, and have ganged up on the new Ti EX10 twice. I had to separate them before it got out of hand. I think I'll program the 07x to 1400mAh and see how low I can program her. Then set the Tri-V to the IMR maximums too. Of course, that's just Configuration 1. What SHALL I do for the other 3 configurations for both lights! Mmmmmm, the possibilities are nearly endless.

0442 Tri-V and 0519 Spy 007x shake hands......

I think it's more about quality over quantity. Once you've held (and even more so if you have dissected) one of data's lights you realize that one $1K light is easily better than 10 $100 so-so lights. Everyone on the LED forum starts thread over thread on lights asking which has a low-low, which has multiple levels, which can pump out 300 lumens, which has adjustable levels, which only runs primaries and which runs on li-ions, which is compact, too big, fits in a pocket, on a holster - ughhh! it's endless.......

It's such a simple question to answer. With this light I have 4 banks of 6 level settings. I can go from Hi to Low, Low to Hi, Low to Hi to Low, whatever in each bank. I can go a dimmer than a firefly's butt to almost 300 OTF lumens - AND I can do that on primaries (or Li-Ions) and still get over 1 hours runtime on the high level. It's compact, it can tailstand, it has a place for trits, it is THE MOST ergonomic light I have ever owned (you don't get it from a picture, you have to hold it). It's made of titanium and is rock solid. It's easily upgradable to newer or different tint LEDs. Oh yeah - and don't even get me started on the Tri-V - that is a masterpiece of engineering in so many ways.

Jeeze - I better stop before I buy another one right now - I've gotta save my beans for the stonewashed one beckoning me in 01/11. I'm gonna try white trits in that one!

Hit the nail on the head.
Ergonomics are unbelievable. I like my tail clicky Haiku, but walking the dogs in one hand, SPY in the other, gloves on, I can turn the light on, off, higher, lower...
They are built solid, I don't mind lending them to guests at the cabin as I know they are going to walk away with them, and if they run it on high till the batteries dies, no problem.
Don't forget, you can dress up the knob with different O rings or add inserts to the knob insert.

I had not thought of the High to Low setting on this new light. However, getting them into high is soo easy. Rapid spin the knob from 0-6 in a split second.

Ah, there are generally 2 different ways to hold all 3 Spy's (005, 007 and Tri-V). I call them the Over and the Under. The over has the reflector on top. This is the method I prefer. It lets me keep a tight grip on the light, while using either my thumb or first finger. I can also use both fingers if I choose.

DSC_1979.jpg


The other is, of course, the Under. Here, the reflector is on the bottom, and the thumb can then be used to select any setting quickly. You really just have to try both ways to determine which you prefer.

  • What kind battery does SPY 007 use ?
  • What is the SPY 007 voltage range?
  • Being driven @ 1.4A how much lumen does 007 could produce?

The programming is some what similar to that of the Tri-V except that there will be no indication on the LED when setting the power levels. It is quite easy, I suggest you take a look at the Tri-V programming on YouTube first. ;)

SPY 007X Bright White $995.00 + General Purpose Rail Adapter $89.00 + USPS Express Mail $30.00 = $1,114.00

Hopefully you can ship this out tomorrow so I can have it by Thursday.

Thanks guys!! I am very excited about getting this beauty!! I will post my impressions which are sure to be favorable as soon as I get my hands on it. I hate that I sold my previous 007 but have a feeling I am really going to like this one.

I received my 007X today and it is everything I thought it would be and more. I love the new programming even though it does take a little getting use to. I think I have it down but was wondering when you do a power up 5 to determine what output level each position is set to, how do you read the sequencing? I am trying to decipher if it gives you the 1s first, then the 10s and then the 100s? Any information would be greatly appreciated.

Also, the SPY 007X does not need any trits as you can program it to 1ma and it glows about as bright as a couple of trits. I set level 1 to this and it is totally awesome. At that setting, battery drain should be minimal.

To anyone on the fence about this light do not hesitate. Dave has really outdone himself again with this beauty.

Thanks for the nice comments. I apologize for the lack of a programming manual. That is high on my todo list.

PU5 reports the 1000's then the 100's then the 10's then the 1's. This reported number is in mA. It will give a short burst (strobe) to report a zero. Always turn the knob quickly to the position you want and just wait for the report.

FYI, when you are setting the power to about the level of a trit it is way way lower than 1mA.

Cheers
Dave

For the "display" in PU5, the , you select the Position ( 1 -6 ), the light will flast a series of 4 times, the first flash is thousand, 2nd = hundreds, 3rd = 10s then 4th time =1
SO if you have it set to 1,257 mAh you will get the following
Single Flash
Pause
2 flashes
pause
5 flashes
pause
7 flashes.
Then you select the next P, and repeart. When done, return to P0 and wait a few seconds for it to go back to normal user mode.
Booyahhhh

I also found out from others, if you want to step the level down ( like the older SPY7's), when in programming mode (4), go to P6 and it will flicker & drop in power. Turn off, to stop at the level you want.
I forgot the flicker if it is ZERO. Dave picked that up.

Dave and John, thanks for your help and it all makes sense now. The numbers I was coming up with were not making sense because I was unknowingly starting to read the sequence in the middle and not at the beginning. On a side note, there is no flicker at all with the LED set to 1ma. It seems to be lower than my previous ultra low output king which was the original Titanium Titan.

Just a suggestion Dave. It would be nice if someone made a credit card sized "cheat sheet" with the programming info on it. Sort of like the ones Henry shipped with the original HDS EDC lights. They are laminated, waterproof and really handy to keep in your wallet. Until then I am going to keep a small PDF file in my iPhone for reference purposes. Just my 2 cents.

If I may, I think what the boys are trying to say is you can go lower than 1ma. So, you already know to put the knob back to the starting point and the first click would be 1ma, the second click would be 10ma and then 100ma is the next click. If you pass all three and continue on to knob position 6, your emitter will start pulsing and reducing in brightness until you can't even tell it's on. I have to be in a dark room to set that level.

You are correct. I must add one small detail. If you do not use P6, the lowest level that you should set is 5mA. As an example if you do dial in 2mA the software may or may not converge on a value. The software is often not able to cal a lower level than 5mA because there is an A/D converter bias that I do not subtract from the equation.

The bottom line here is if you want to set the current below 5mA you should set the level with the P6 selection by looking at the light that is coming out of the emitter. Adjust it to what looks like what you want.

The PU5 routine will report what ever you put in but it may not match the actual current consumed.

Cheers
Dave

The only other feature that might be useful, is some indicator of which of the 4 slots you are currently in.
Not sure how this could be accessed, but thought, maybe if you PU5, then say switch between 6 & 5 three times, it will give you 1 - 4 longer flashes for the slot you started in, or the very first flash is 1 -4, to indicate , then a quick flicker to let you know you can then select P1-P6.
Just a thought if for the next round of SPYs

Dave,

Not knowing what you and the others have described here, I used the PU4 to set position 1 to 1ma. After doing this I went back and did a PU5 and the emitter gives me 3 zeros followed by a 1. To me it is visibly lower than when I had it set to 2ma which the PU5 indicates as 3 zeros followed by a 2. Not sure if mine is an anomaly or not but it seems to defy what you said in post #130 when you said that PU5 would not report anything less than 5ma.

I was not sure you could take it any lower than 1ma but it sure is nice to know although I am not certain that my eyes could detect anything less than 1 ma. Thanks for the tip.

I think what Dave meant was, anything less, shows up a a single flash.
Mine does the same, If I try and enter 1 or 2 for the power, I get a very low setting Way lower than 5. So low I had to turn the lights out to see it.
Not complaining, just my observation.

If your iPhone is jailbroken, you can also download Data's video showing how the Tri-V is set up. The new 007x is similar, save for the extra step to program additional emitters. Below are a couple Excel docs I use to keep track of my settings and their respective limits. Feel free to save these pics, adjust the size to about 2.5 x 4 and have them laminated. I recon I could remove my personal settings and host both excel files you you guys could modify them as you please. Just let me know.

EDIT:
The 007x pic had some residual info from the Tri-V port. I've cleaned that up and removed all my personal settings. This link is for the excel file. Please note at the bottom left of the file are three sheets. Sheet 1 is labeled Tri-V and sheet 2 is labeled 007x. It would be easy to copy the 007 data and past it into another sheet, then alter the data to match the other cool fall lights you own.

OK, I was wrong. LOL. Who programmed this software anyway??? I am going to correct my post so people do not get confused.

I am certain that all of the programming was quite an undertaking and remembering all of it is quite a task in itself. I am just glad you did include it in the programming.

Perhaps it has already been discussed and I just missed it. Does anyone know if RCR123 cells can be used in the 007X?

Re: SPY 007

Not a problem at all. Ive used RCRs and IMRs
The only issue is the battery meter will not be accurate until they drop below 3.8v I believe.

Re: SPY 007 Sales thread #5

This is a little embarrassing, but I'm still a little unsure about the programming. I've owned a bunch of SPY lights and have yet to change the settings on one. I want to take a few beam shots tonight to comparing the,

007 Original run
007 Cree R2
007 XP-G

What is the easiest way to program them to the highest setting? Has anyone posted a 007 programming video?

Thanks
Todd
