All,

We have finally finished shipping the pre-order backlog and will be into shipping from stock situation by the end of next week - unless the new orders outstrip production capacity.

We have a Ra-170-Cn available and expect to get another shortly. After long consideration, we think that a simple contest is probably the fairest way to allocate a scarce resource. The winner gets a PayPal request. When we have everything set up, we will post a link - probably later this weekend. Go to the link, follow the directions and then wait. Whenever a Ra-170-Cn becomes available, the link will be activated. Be sure to have your browser refresh the page so you can see changes.

Which link is it we are to go to....???
 
LuxLover,

Perhaps you have not heard of the supply chain. The manufacturer ships to the dealer and the dealer turns around and ships to the end customer. The shipping process on each leg of the trip takes time since the goods have to be conveyed from one party to the next. And it is only fair that the dealer be allowed time to unpack the box from the manufacturer, fill the order, address the package to the end customer and provide the package to the shipper for the next leg of the journey. So just because we have finished shipping the original orders does not imply that the dealers have finished filling their orders.

Unless you are now running Russ' business for him, I doubt you have your information correct. Besides, 12/18/08 has not happened yet.

Orcinus, RobertEsq1,

The link will be posted here.

When someone wins, how much will the paypal request be? And will this include postage only within the USA? Or anywhere in the world.....
Thanks Kam.

Is the tint on this wonderful baby nice, slightly vanilla white?

I'm in:party:

Nice Henry! 🙂 (although I'm not going to get one of those 170Cns - a 170Cgt or 170C would be nice...) Let's think about: +20 lms in general and +30 lumens for burst - you gain a little bit throw in comparison to the 140 models (simply more lms...); so why choose a 170Cn? To get even more throw? "I" would prefer a 170C /Cgt, because you may get the throw of a 140Cn with the beam of a 140C 😀 (ok, not really, but that's the way I think about it)

Anyway, I think my Clicky is far far away and will arrive next year. (nothing in stock yet) But I'm still convinced it will be the best flashlight ever 😀

Henry,
I have vaguely heard of that "supply chain" term! :ohgeez: Likewise, I am aware that I erred on the date of receipt by Russ. I meant 12/11. It has been corrected. I also know that Russ feverishly unpacks, repacks and ships all of his lights upon receipt. Beside these verified facts, I know nuttin'.

I doubt that Russ's lovely wife Dena, would allow me to use the Executive Wash Closet, much less run their firm for them! :nana:

Sverre,
I heard that it will be a slightly vanilla white, with some crumpled Oreo cookie crumbs thrown in to make the beam sweeter to the eyes! 😎

Last I heard they had been posted but were still in the states. Keep in mind that Xmas is a very busy time to send parcels! The price has also not been set for these yet, I was told how much they should be a few weeks ago as they were ordered and payed for before the £ fell against the $. But I am sure that customs fee's will have an impact on the final price, after all, it all costs and these companys have to make a profit.
I am sure that the wait will be worth it though, there has been some very good reviews here, esp' regarding the runtime.

That's an awfully harsh replay towards someone who does nothing but praises your lights? :shrug:
 
Here are the contest rules. International members may enter and the appropriate postage will be added.

Zenas,

The center beam spot intensity of the Ra-170-Cn exceeds that of a [theoretical] 200-C. It provides very nice throw. On night missions, I can light up the far side and bottom of a narrow canyon. Burst is wonderful for finding a path down rough terrain.

Henry.
 
Usually, in time, incredibly extensive rhetoric gets on your nerves---hence, I suspect, the reply by Ra. It was most appropriate. The KISS principle ALWAYS wins in the end. Remember, less is more.

Another (though much less offensively verbose) supporter of Ra lights.

Maybe I should rethink trying to get a 170Cn. --> *thought about it*
I'm going to get one 😳

I have always thought that if someone doesn't have anything nice to say about someone else, best not to say anything at all. 🙂
 
I have many nice things to say and do, when appropriate and, without taking hours of my time (to write them) and others (to read them). I provide most of my support for this and other lights by buying them. :paypal: Without the buying public there would be no lights for us to use and enjoy. "Talk is cheap".

Again and as a bulwark of common sense use the phrase KISS--Keep It Simple Stupid--no one person in mind merely a good idea to follow. Endless (and often mindless) replies to each and every comment that shows on these boards bespeaks of difficulties too sensitive and numerous to mention. :shakehead I love to hear useFULL information--does it work in accord with claims, fit in the hand, easy to use---but, whether I shower with it, take it to bed, introduce it to my friends or follow the postman on his daily rounds to document it's travels goes way too far for common sense.:ohgeez:

I stand by my statement and advice, KISS.....


Karl
