The ETA is still end of May-ish. They began work on the copper heads this week, AFAIK.

We are working on the logo for the FF, so if that is finished in time, it will be lasered onto the lights as well. I think it will give them a more finished and professional look.

Doug,

I'd be willing to wait for the logo. Most of the candidates look great!

Re: 2 stage switches

Ok, the logo pushed me off the fence. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif
Ordered 1 FF with 2 stage switch and Fraen + extra NX05 optic.
Thanks Doug!

Have you decided which logo yet?
 
Re: 2 stage switches

We're still refining the logo. The survey runs until next Tuesday, so by then we'll have a good-sized pool of opinions to give us an idea of what will be pleasing to the largest audience. I noticed that some people have a preference for no logo on their light, so if there is a demand for it, I will make some without the logo ("sterile" - yeah right! /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/rolleyes.gif ), but I would prefer to put the logo on most of the lights.

In any case, once the logo is decided, I will be sure to publicize it, so you all know what will be coming... /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif
 
Re: 2 stage switches

I posted in the other FF2 thread about the logo, including some alternate suggestions. I'm not big on the "sterility" thing; I just think the FF1 looks great with no logo, and if the FF2 has a logo, a really unobtrusive one should be considered.
 
Re: 2 stage switches

Ah, thanks alot, how did I miss that! /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/ooo.gif

The logos looked great, that will be a very nice addition to the light.


Man,,,, whens May getting here. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/tongue.gif
 
Re: 2 stage switches

I would prefere light without any logo. Not because I have demand for sterile light but because I personaly do not like almost any of the design. If there must be some then for me something without the bug in it.
 
Re: 2 stage switches

I know I'll get nailed for posting in two threads but until we have one consolidated Polls & Surveys Thread-- I have little choice. Post # 539363 from Doug says that the Survey #2 ( Logo Survey) ends Tuesday. But things have moved much more quickly on this than we anticipated so...
Due to an overwhelmingly positive response to the 2nd DSpeck- Firefly Logo Survey (100 respondents to date). We've decided to close the survey early. It will not accept new respondents after 5:00 PM ET Today- Friday the 16th. Instead of running it till Tuesday there will be one more survey yet to come before we wrap up the survey stage of the project! Please check back at this thread or in the Café for a link to the "Refined Firefly Logo Survey" which will be posted on Zoomerang.com Sunday morning at 10:00 AM ET. ---Thanks!

RE"I think an etching of an under 5 yr old child wearing pajamas absentmindedly reaching for an abstract little flash of light (great place to add glow paint or tritium dot or window to the led) in the air would be much closer to the mark. " ------- We really ought to discuss the logo in the Café but I'll respond here briefly. A logo or 'brand' help identify a product with a 'maker' or manufacturer. The Brand for D.Speck is still in progress, so we thought to provide an interim brand through the one, and currently only product- the Firefly. Once a product and or company reaches escape velocity ( orders exceed supply by 3-6 months) then product and company branding is timely. We hope to make the final brand on the Firefly fairly subtle, enduring and certainly- unoffensive, to as many people as possible. It's probably the first time that CPF members have been invited to participate.Hopefully, we've blazed a new trail for others wishing to do the same in the future. D.Speck, and his flashlight, the Firefly - have matured and evolved to this point. It's understandable that it makes some people uncomfortable but I'm certain that once it is complete, most will be glad that the previously 'Sterile' Firefly has joined the ranks of the glitterati- ie. Star Label Status. ----- Aten Imago

Re: 2 stage switches

Thanks for your purchases so far, everyone! /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbsup.gif

For those who are still considering a purchase, I will remind you that the pre-sale prices end at midnight, April 30th. After that, the prices go up to the regular amounts. You can run the FF quite awhile on the savings you get with the pre-sale prices! /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif

Also, the draw date for the brass Firefly name lottery is on April 25th, so please email your requests to get in on the draw to me by then. My email is [email protected] .

Doug.

Re: Firefly second run pre-sale now open!!

probably a silly question, but my head is hurting from reading all these threads.

does the firefly accept any stock sandwich (BB, MM, etc)?

how does the beam of the cut-down NX05 differ from the stock NX05?

the tiny size of the firefly really has me intrigued!

thanks,
Bob
