Please put me me in for one as well, price somewhat pending, although it seems this will be quite the light.
Also, thought of the idea that we can all order them as the raw light, and then go off and attempt to trick them out via our local machine shops for truely custom lights, that way no one pays for knurling or a milled groove for tritium if they dont desire them (although I do of course [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/buttrock.gif[/img] )
Why not have a go at knurling it yourself? or take it to a shop and get the knurling exactly where you want it, spray it, powder coat it get it engraved with your own design or simply polish it till its like a mirror with 3M or autoglym. It is highly customizable in this format and you know you will have a truly unique RAW.

Mirror finish eh... sounds like a plan! [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img] One thing I'd consider having someone do to mine would be to chamfer the edges a bit.
The pictures at the beggining of the thread are Orb's own proto, the finished article may well be smoothed out a bit, no doubt Orb will post more pictures once production begins.
The tail will only have a 20mm diameter, so a 12mm vial would sit nicely in the middle of the cap as for the thickness I'm afraid you'll have to wait for Orb to answer that one, I know he can supply the vials too.
I am wondering, will the CR2 be protected? (I haven't seen CR2 rechargeables protected).
With a so short runtime it will be very easy to use all the energy from a cell, and without some kind of LVC, the voltage will go down to damaging levels.
I have a DD pill I made and run it on a R123. When batt voltage falls to a little under 3.0 volts its dimmer then an Arc AAA. It would probably go out completely before getting low enough to damage a cell.
I'm not sure on this [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/stupid.gif[/img] but because there is no "engine" so no regulation the light comes on and gradually gets dimmer as the battery gets spent, as there is no system regulating the battery (ie trying to pull a certain voltage etc)it just goes till the battery dies, time to recharge or change cells.
