I need your help CPF! Love to get your feedback on my Titanium Carbon Fiber Light

[espeery]

A quick Kickstarter update. We have reached 84% funding so far with 10 days left. From all the stats I have read, we will fund. We had a $99 option for an all aluminum flashlight, but 30 out of the last 30 orders have all been titanium, so we decided to drop the all aluminum offering.

For those on the fence, we would love your support. Hopefully we can reach the custom deep pocket clip stretch goal at $32k. This would be a free upgrade to all backers. We have a design we are excited about - stainless steel, chromium tungsten black, laser etched - very nice.

Check us out here

Thanks,

Eric/Founder Atlas Flashlights

One more update. We are on day 20 or 480 hours of constant run time for the moonlight (1 lumen) setting! I'll let you know when the battery finally gives up.

Quick question: When I looked at the Kickstarter a while ago, there was a "naked" option with a white sleeve. I really liked that one, but I notice that it's not there anymore. Is it still an option? Or has it been wiped out?

Those Cerakotes you are exhibiting on IG are awesome. Can you offer them as add ons with the Survey?

 

[espeery]

We will be adding a Cerakote special edition very soon. I'll let you know when we go live with that.

Need some more feedback. We are thinking of offering a custom deep pocket clip as a $32k stretch goal on Kickstarter. Let me know your thoughts on the design. We are thinking stainless steel, chromium tungsten coated, 2mm thickness, laser etched.

Thanks!

Xaios, we conducted a survey and found less than 2% wanted that option so we removed it. BUT there is a chance we will be offering a white Cerakote option, the Ti caps, and the Carbon fiber would be Cerakoted white. Would that interest you?

The deep carry clip is an excellent option and would love to have one. If it doesn't hit the funding goal I would at least like the option to add that on as an accessory since I plan to EDC mine!

I personally would have the outputs be 1, 70, 300, 1000

I have always found that to be almost perfect spacing, as you see a 3-4x increase each time (Other than the 1 lumen)
You get a great balance of the moonlight mode, and the extreme bright mode! Plus two general purpose modes in between.
That is just my 2 cents! I love the dimensions and everything else about it! It seems great!

Thanks for the heads up, I am now in touch with selfbuilt.

I would be more than willing to help with reviews as well. I actually just posted another review last night. Just let me know if there is anything I can do! I could also just simply help with production images if you need it. I do studio photography. (The images in this review were not meant to look like high quality production images, they were quickly done)

Does anyone know 880arm here on CPF? I sent him a light months ago. We had some great exchanges, once he got the light he disappeared and is unwilling to respond. Beside feeling ripped off, I am dissapointed I didn't get his review. Any help would be appreciated.

I haven't heard of him. I'm sorry to hear that, I really hope he didn't rip you off.

I haven't heard of him. I'm sorry to hear that, I really hope he didn't rip you off. A review isn't even asking much of him, especially given what you sent him!

Here is his CPF profile:

Hmmm.. Seems his last activity was before Halloween on the 24th. :thinking:

 

[leon2245]

Yeah i don't think you have anything to worry about. I seriously doubt he thinks it's worth cashing in his cred never to be seen from again over this one.

 

[espeery]

This is his review website. http://flashlightguide.com/

Jim is a really nice person who has shown integrity. Although I have not written to him in a while, it is probable that he is unavoidably unavailable to present a review of your flashlight and I am sorry for that. His regular job or personal life may be the reason. He did get stacked up on items to review sometime ago but he probably let you know what his rough lead time was, back when you spoke with him. I use the flashlightguide email address. His website is very high quality and I would not hesitate to use him if I had a flashlight to promote.

Best of luck on your project; Beautiful lights.

Do you need another reviewer? I'm currently working on the review of the second proto of the firefly, another kickstarter light. My review of the first has been published.

 

[gunga]

Btw. Is the driver still potted? So not easily changed? I'd like the option of change or perhaps a separate pill to build with my own components.

Another thumbs up for that deeeeeeep pocket clip!

 

[monanza]

Love the deep pocket clip.

Do Cerakotes use Ti or Al caps?
