38DD: Evaluation of a Titanium Pendant Light

[Crenshaw]

I'm in the police force so I did a background check on myself and it comes up clear.. Can i play?
😉

No seriously though.. If we can do a
Meet up you could do a comparison to my t1a

Also.. I'd like an aluminum version too.. Soo many more people will buy one if it's alinium I garuntee it

wow...

time to retire my RAW

and that QTC material, does it sacrify efficiency, like a resistor?

It's official. This is the light that has me most looking forward to its development. I keep coming back to this thread.

I hope you have noticed that the first wave pre-pay has already started over at the marketplace. If not, get on over there and sign up already. 😀

and judging by the number of the run is 60% sold so far, think I count about 30 of the 50 that will be made for the run. Definitely a beauty 🙂

Now with the basics of how it works and is put together I think a question would be is if different bases could be made (cheaply) so that one could switch to a larger battery 10280 or 10440 when they will be going on a longer trip and might not want to carry the charger and spare batteries around (so easy to get lost in baggage with them being so small!)😗
There doesn't look to be a lot to it?

Can't wait until they are shipped!

Where? I want one!

They are now sold out.

 

[compasillo]

I think a new run is probably coming soon.
Post your interest in the same sales thread in the MP

AAARRRGGGGGHHHH. I did NOT know that. I wish I had subscribed to this thread....I haven't been this bummed about missing a run in a LONG time.

Hi guys, can I play? Here are a few photos with some common (and uncommon) lights.

My opinions of this light is much the same as Zeruel's: this will be the perfect EDC for a lot of people looking for a small light that packs a big punch.

Thanks to the Continuously Variable Drive, you can quickly and easily select exactly how much brightness you want. It's called continuously variable for a reason: there are no discrete levels! The further you turn it the brighter it gets.

I was given the other optic prototype, with the wider beam. I don't know what Ku plans on offering but I really like the wide beam in this light. It is really thrilling to have such a gorgeous beam and high output out of a light smaller than my pinky.

One thing I know for sure: if Ku ever makes an RCR123 version it'll definitely make my top 3 list.

Great mini review and the pics really do a great job of pointing out just how small it is. Now it'd be nice to see it next to a Drake/Draco and Wee!

How low can you get the light to reliably come on at - will it go lower than the HDS/Ra/Novatac low?

Hey Pete,

Can you modify your carrot's post quoting? the 4th pic is oversized and obligates me
(and people with 4:3 screens) to do a horizontal scrolling to read the thread...
Thanks

 

[compasillo]

Hey carrot,

can you resize your 4th pic on the post #90 to fit 800x800 max size? Thank you

 

[mknewman]

Shouldnt itbe called 38CVD since if it has a variable drive then it's not really direct drive, rather likely uses a variable resistor?

Actually it's QTC: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quantum_tunnelling_composite

Carrot- Glad to hear you like the wide optic. That is what I ordered. Seems to me, that is the characteristic you want in a light for this purpose.:thumbsup:

I was noticing that too, but didn't realize that was the picture causing it. 😗

Those pictures looked to good to let them disappear on the last page so I decided to make sure the new page started with them. Can't wait to get my hands on a stonewashed 38mm.

I was thinking the same thing. Such a cool little light!

My bad: fixed.

kaicho dento: I don't have an HDS to compare it to, but I do not think it goes as low as an HDS will. It is an excellent compromise though: on its lowest output level it is quite sufficient for close up tasks.

I was hoping, but am still excited about this light and I see it as a big step forward in allowing instant access to the exact light level for the purpose at hand.
