iTP A6 Polestar thread

Where's the coupon for 10% off at goinggear.com?

It's ggcpf10.

I'm not sure if we're allowed to be discussing sales and stuff over here on CPF proper, so you guys might want to move discussion of pricing, shipping, coupons, etc. over to the marketplace before we all get kicked in the butt by the mods.

I hope the reflector on this is well designed since it seems that the 700 lumen claim is from the emitter while TK40 is OTF. I don't mind less lumens as long as it is not wasted too much on spot/spill. Still it's about half the price of a TK40. Can't wait for this to ship! Whoooooo:rock:

Looks like an interesting light and the price is certainly right. Anyone know the flux and tint of the MC-E being used here?

Goinggear said that the manufacturer told him they are using M bin flux, but haven't told him yet about the bin.

26 posts and nothing is mentioned on the battery type...whats up with that?:candle:
For anyone who wants to know, it uses 6AAs, NIMH or alkaline

Is there any info on the MC-E's tint bin? It would be nice to have a warm white available.

Well obviously not 6x14500... lol

I've been looking at the A6 since the info was made public.

I'm on the AAA/AA standard. Have a charger, batteries, and my lights are all AAA or AA. This one fits into my AA scheme, but allowing me a big light that should outshine my 2xAA by a good amount.
I'm in, placed my order with GG.

Will be going on a long weekend camping trip in Mid-October. Hope to get it by then, will be sure to do a "first use" seat-of-pants wilderness review.

$ 72 with free shipping at going gear .com

even if this thing is 100 lumens under its rating, still might be a great bargain for the money.

600-700 lumens in AA configuration for about 70 bux.

The A6 Polestar will soon be available as a gift set that includes a A3 EOS SS keychain light for just under $95, Iam stoked :twothumbs

 

[berry580]

any new pictures or beam shots?

 

[1anrm]

Anyone else notice that the new pictures with the combo AAA SS EOS the emitter on the Polestar looks different? or is it just my eyes? It looks like an SST emitter to me.

 

[rumme]

Ive preordered mine...$71 shipped

this might be a big seller .

 

[Hawk600]

Interested, but still waiting more feedback, or some beam shots at least.

I saw that too but it's definitely coming with an MC-E though.

 

[rumme]

Going Gear says this will be in on the 20th...So anyone that ordered thru them should get it soon.

Has anyone read anything on the size of this light? I'm interested in a holster for it. Obviously it's not going to be a pocket light.
