    The HDSRB Project

    The HDSRB Post production drop is open for ordering, lead-time is approximately 4 weeks. I decided not to do it as a lotto this time, recently had an frustrating experience with a lotto and chasing the winners so these are FCFS. There's 25 available...

    Yeah I'll keep everyone updated. Due to the limited quantity I'll likely do it via lotto like I did for the previous post production sale.

    Hope everyone has been enjoying their HDSRB! If you were on the HDSRB preorder and recieved one of the blem reflector housings, expect an email in the next week or two regarding the replacement housing. If you didn't score an HDSRB and want one, there will be some completed ones available...

    Sending you a DM to resolve. I got an email question about an international shipment but that's shipped today and you would've received an email so I don't think it was you.

    Ok glad everyone is enjoying theirs! Busier week than I expected but about half the international packages have been shipped. Only a couple left so if you didn't get tracking you'll get it by Monday.

    The HDSRB Project

    Great to hear! That's basically what my thought process was when I came up with this concept. Most HDS enthusiasts own multiple HDS lights but from some perspectives they're all different iterations of the same light. I wanted to design something that can justify me owning a few more HDSes, and...

    FYI for those that received tracking that hasn't updated yet. In general I try to ship within a day or two of creating the label (I've been packing and dropping them off in batches). USPS is up to its usual games of not scanning packages. If it's more than a couple days and tracking didn't...

    Yeah but not a good one :( After having the first wave of HDSRB preorders overnighted to me so I can begin shipping this week, I was excited to make an announcement to inform everyone that shipping has begun. Unfortunately, while performing the final fit check I discovered that the threading...

    LM Toolworks x PhotonX lights Grand Tala #2 - Abalone shell inlay

    The Tala is a light I've been developing with Leo of LM Toolworks. Originally introduced to CPF here, the Tala is a tail clicky flashlight with a throwy emitter in an McR20 reflector, surrounded by 8 E17A LEDs. The plan is to have the Tala line made in the US on CNC, and a high end Grand Tala...

    Sorry, I missed this. I guess the new site doesn't push thread updates to my phone. Everything should be completed as of last week. Just waiting for confirmation from the machinist and they should be en-route to me very shortly. I'll post an update here when I have them in hand and have begun...
