Agreed, sounds really nice. Something tells me the run will sell out before sunset on Sunday. :devil:

I will be very happy with the 4500k color temperature as well. I am looking forward to this!
Thanks for the update! Can't wait for the pics!
4500k is about the same temperature as a factory HID bulb, standard on most luxury vehicles. A very beautiful white thats easy on the eyes.
I use 6000k Philips Ultinon bulbs in my car and its a very cool white thats a little closer towards the blue spectrum, but still white. Absolutely gorgeous paired with clear lens Honda S2000 projectors. My love for lights goes well beyond flashlights.

Okay, okay, I can't resist any more. That 4500k color temp put me over the edge! Paypal sent to reserve one Mako flood!
(scout24- you knew I'd eventually give in and get one, didn't you!?)

Dan, I knew you had to get in on this one too. We are all depending on you to conduct your extensive review with beam shots in close range settings. I think this is going to be an awesome little task light for desk duty and working on projects up close and personal....Thanks Enrique!
Why wait for the review? Get one now if you haven't, before it's all gone. You don't know when the next run is going to be, or if it ever will be.
Edit: I don't mean you specifically. I know you have already placed your reservation. I was referring to those who are still sitting on their decisions and waiting for a review.

Whoa! Greetings! From another person in Northern VA! Looks like at least two new batch Makos will be sent to the DMV area
!!pjandyho is right. Reservations are going fast! Probably somewhere in the teens(13-19) by now. Reserve one today, if you don't want to miss out on buying it direct.

Howdy Folks,
I'm glad to see you all are happy about the LED - I've got a comparison shot between the two beam colors below:
The wall these LEDs are being beamed on is not white, and the leftmost beam (being used in the Makos) renders the color accurately, whereas the one on the right washes everything out. I will see if I can get another shot or two this weekend on more common items to illustrate the difference, too.
These LEDs are pretty similar in color to the Neutral White Aeons that I made a few months ago. I'll have some more photos soon.

I was happily ignoring this thread until you just had to make it a neutral.
Damn you.

I love the tint of my neutral Aeon, this makes me even more excited for the new Mako!
Thanks, Matt

You had me at 4500K. I'm in, and will send the $50 PP deposit shortly.
Thank you very much for being patient with all my questions. (coyote too
)This light sounds like a winner.
Edit: PP sent 12:00 PM PST Sunday.

Hello Everyone,
Just a quick update to let you know there are eight lights left for reservation. Once these are claimed, that will be that until after the run is complete - I expect to have a handful of extras at the end of the run, which will be offered on a first-come first-served basis then.
I'll keep you all posted as things move forward.

Hi Enrique. This is awesome. I'm working on how I can do this. This + the Aeon offer are both awesome. I over extended on the LS20 the other day, but I'm working out in my mind how to make this work. Love the lights :devil:

I'll trade you for the LS20.
