Ah thanks! Is this the aluminum? I had one originally. 20mm optic. More choices for optic but I'm not a fan of the huge bezel.

Just took some measurements:
Brass ("QT Nugget" on the tail)
L: 3.04"
W: 1.24"
Weight: 184 grams
Aluminum ("QT Nugget SL" on the tail)
L: 2.9"
W: 1.22"
Weight: 80 grams
I'll snap some pictures of the internals next time I change the emitter.
The throw on the brass with the 26.5mm optic is a bit better indeed.
Yes it is aluminum.
It's been a while, but I have again resurfaced to show Fraz's latest creation that I've machined - the Lumenite II. Quite possibly the cleanest model we've ever made (and all on our very own Tormach 770M!). The road to the final product was lengthy, but we are finally at another drop of inventory! Here's a photo of the engine, and I'll add more photos in the next couple days. The specs on the site will be updated to the final numbers on 2/3/23, and we should add the lights to the site on the 4th or the 5th (QT Nuggets and Lumenite II's only on this one).
Now, to answer a few questions...
Be sure to sign up on the site so you won't miss it, it should be in the next couple days!
Ah, I still love Watercolor Nightmare, and she looks amazing next to that QT Gold!! The kitchen has never looked the same since that gem was born. Thanks so much for the kind words!!
There's two different versions of the QT, the QT-L is the 26.5mm version and the QT Nugget is the 20mm version.

QT specs state 26.5mm. That must be a typo..
I don't view optional boards on website.
Are customers required to purchase spares directly from MTN or wherever?
Correct on both! I'll get all the specs tidied up on the site (sorry for the confusion on that). We don't sell spare emitters or boards at this time.

Just wanted to mention that I've found the Noctigon, MTN Electronics, and Convoy mcpcb's to fit the best. The Kdlitker mcpcb's are slightly smaller which makes centering a bit more difficult.
What amazing flashlights built with passion and (superb) dialed in simplicity.
Understand that protected and unprotected batteries work really well in mine. One is able to fine tune the battery compartment length using a pair of retractable ball point pens on the tail end of the flashlight.
Would love to try a 519a dedomed 5700K in both the qt and Lumenite II.

Did I miss this weekend's drop? I couldn't figure how or what was meant by "signing up" so did out of stock notifications but didn't see anything. Just making sure i signed up for the right ones lol!
I have not received a notice via email yet.
Ok thanks! not rushing, because I understand, but was just making sure I didn't do it wrong lol
Being able to quickly go to the Fraz labs website once informed seems like a good idea.
You haven't missed it, there were a few last-minute things to clean up on the Lumenite II before release. I'll bring photos over this evening for a show-and-tell, as there's several new features offered that haven't been standard for us (or anyone, like an adjustable tail cap that will allow use of an 18650, 26650, or 21700 battery, either protected or unprotected).
For those viewers here who may not have thoroughly researched these flashlights, it bears repeating that the way light is adjusted for brightness is by using a QTC (quantum tunneling composite) pill.
This makes for a different experience when adjusting brightness. Read the Fraz Labs website for more information. I believe the system behaves a little differently when brand new, until broken-in.
The machining and design are a genuine reflection of CPF members speckacuda and The Fraz.
Never thought I would go bat-scat crazy over this flashlight. I am smitten, and subsequently biased. It is not the brightest, or throws the farthest; it is one tough, one of a kind, illumination tool.

Dear god I'm going to need this one!!!!!
Please if you can, submit an image of the business end for the optic on the Lumenite II.
Any of you out there had to run a 2 person business with all the complications and unforeseen disruptions? Then you will let speckacuda know we appreciate her and understand priorities must be addressed. In her stead, some images:
Note the retractable pens that can be used to adjust for different battery lengths. Both flashlights are packing protected batteries for this picture.
Any member can identify this optic?
Unprotected battery inside.
