Thank you so kindly for your patience in the meantime.

I second this. What are the specs of Zeus and Apollo as they sit now?

Sweet.. Looking forward to getting my hands on a Zeus in the near future.
I have been holding out on purchasing an AA light while waiting for the Zeus.

Thanks DellSuperman,

I'm a happy Guy right now

Great news, Guy! We're all looking forward to the launch of Zeus!

jonwkng,

Thank you as always for your support :twothumbs

TGWNN has PCBs. HDS has boards. It's a race. Whomever wins gets my money.

Hi LedTed,

Thanks. I'm always running running running, but never in a race
HDS is some very fine stash too so either way the dice rolls, I think you will be the winner

:twothumbs

Hi Newguy2012,

That's a great Q!
A few more lumens & flawless operation with standard AA's, NiMh, Li-ion.

I second this. What are the specs of Zeus and Apollo as they sit now?

Update-ish:


Just wanted to mention I have a mountain of mails that piled up over the last week whilst I was out (of it).I'm planning on getting caught up on those by tomorrow and caught up on any outstanding orders over the weekend.

My very sincere thanks for your patience in the meantime.

Hi Iamnuts,

Every time I reply to you it reminds me how nuts I am so thanks for choosing such a helpful name

Zeus PCB is GTG (good to go). If there's anything I'd consider tweaking it might be lowering output on mode 1 just a little (though it could just be a result of my poor heatsinking in proto testing).

Both Zeus & Apollo are on standby for a first beta/proto batch so I need to share some updated specs/photos, then based on those, if I can confirm the first 12 people who are happy to pre-order/pre-pay for one of the first 12, I can make them happen.

Guy, Please count me as one of the first 12 people who are happy to pre-order/pre-pay for one of the first 12.

Any updates on the torpedo

 

[gunga]

I'm interested but need actual info first.

Thanks so very much NowIC :bow:

Any updates on the torpedo

Hi walterr839,

I just posted to the Torpedo thread a few hours ago

I'm interested but need actual info first.

Hi gunga,

Absolutely agree,
I'm going to sum up the available info/spec and share it so you can have a better idea of where the design is at.

Are you still going to go off of the initial preorder inquiry list that people had replied to early on in this thread? I am definitely in for one still.

Hi Parker,

Thanks very much, I greatly appreciate your support.
I'm working through the list of todo's and timeline, then I'll plan to send out a mail to those on the list.

I can stretch it beyond 12 but as this is the first batch, of a new product, I do like to keep risks to a level that I can personally vouch for should anything unexpected happen. I'll know more in just a few days once I have the timeline and specs all confirmed.

[sticktodrum]

Please count me in for the proto as well. It would be so great be in on Zeus X along with Torpedo X.
