I'm not a huge fan of Titanium and was gunning for a fully loaded aluminum Early Bird. I've backed it, but at a plain Jane aluminum version. Might be tempted to bump up if a new Early Bird category is created

Congratulations on launching this project! I'm in with the Ti fully loaded, too - looking forward to this light -- many of my favorite features together in one AA package.

Funds are not withdrawn from your account until the campaign is completely over. If the campaign doesn't reach it's funding goal then your account wont be charged at all. Also you can still cancel your pledge or modify your pledge category any time up until the end of the campaign.

I'm pretty sure the Project Timeline needs to be updated with 2016 dates.

When will the reviews be available?
If it had a momentary function on highest setting, I would seriously consider it for replacing my Quark Tactical Neutral that I use with a 14500. That Quark still has my favorite switch for momentary usage.
I love the look of the Firefly and the trits, but I really need it to do something that my Zebralights and Quarks can't do in order to spend that much money.
Not trying to be condescending... but can someone explain what this light provides, besides the trits, that isn't being done by other manufacturers for less money?

Well, when the reviews come out, if you're not happy with what you read/see, you can always cancel your pledge. But hopefully the reviews will be very favorable and there will be no need for that.
I know I sound like a broken record, but WHERE are the Early Bird specials for the Aluminum and Stainless Steel versions?!!!
Come on jashhash! Show us some CPF love!

3000k Warm White high CRI, and can use NiMH/Alkaline AAs. I'm not aware of any other light currently on sale that can use non Li-Ion AAs and has warm white high CRI. Being into night photography and light painting, a warmer tint (as in warm not neutral) is very useful.
I'm backer #59 - Black aluminium with clip.
Good luck Joshua - already 1/6 the way to your target!
Have been here since the 10th but have to return to the states Friday. Congrats on the strong launch!
(two small edit suggestions. One is to also put dimensions in inches. Second is that you have two spellings for Shenzhen...)

Nice video for a great looking flashlight.
I have only one small nitpick. You gotta get rid of the Ultratrash battery! It's degrading to position your fine product next to one of those. Use an AW or anything else.

I attempted ordering a second light and it appears that the site overwrote my first order. Is there any way to order two lights?
I backed a Ti light with clip, no trits. I don't like trits, but I would think that small GITD pellets would be a better choice than raw SS bars for filling the trit slots.

Sorry folks I had to get some sleep. Wow there is a lot of info to catch up on now so here goes:
KuanR: My wife and I will be in Macao this Thursday and Friday. We arrive in Macao at 3:00pm perhaps we can meet up after that. How about 5:00pm somewhere iconic... My phone won't work in Macau though so calling will be difficult.
SA Condor: Sorry to dissapoint you about there not being an aluminum with tritium earlybird... Please don't hate me.
Tixx: Yea I prefer paypal too but Kickstarter decided to partner with Amazon instead of Ebay.
holygeez03: The first light was sent to Gunga and he should be receiving it soon, After that he can let everyone know his impression on the light.
holygeez03: Yea I see that date error I'm working on it
mckeand13: Yes I realize that but you have the option to cancel at any time. I'm confident the reviewers will like it since I myself like it very much. Any small issue can be easily resolved after launch as well so don't worry.
onthebeam: Unfortunately I already have my tickets booked to Macau and have a pile of work to get done today before I go, HK is not possible today.
KeepingItLight: Yea... I know but when people see a little blue AA they automatically associate it with a LiIon, I think I can find a better brand of blue though.
NoNotAgain: I keep an Excell sheet of special orders on the side, Just add the amount of the extra light to your existing pledge and send me a private message in Kickstarter letting me know what extra light your adding.
Eala: Unfortunately I'm not offering this option at the moment. I need to stay consistent with each pledge tier as far as what the light is, otherwise special orders start getting really complicated.

Sorry if this is covered I didn't see it but if I get it with no tritium vials can the light be disassembled and I could install my own trits later? Are they a common size? Thank you sir I backed your campaign!
