Can you please update your post with approximate lumens for Q4 and Q5, and what the costs are now for these LED's?

+1
X2, also since the Q5 bins are brighter, is it possible to get a 1/2 watt for longer runtime.

Can you update us as to the different models being made? mA/W
Are you still offering the single stage? Don't think anybody ordered one.
What is the latest time we can specify/change our selection of power levels/LEDs?
What LEDs are you stocking/getting? How much more for a LED you do not have stock? How much for a premium bin?

There are a lot of bins available now: (even more as you work down the customer list)
XR-E Flux and Cool to Neutral Tint Bin Selection:
P4 Flux (WG Tint) Soft White
P4 Flux (WD Tint) Soft
P4 Flux (WM Tint) Cold White (+$)
Q2 Flux (WH Tint) Soft
Q3 Flux (WB Tint) Cold White (+$)
Q4 Flux (WH Tint) Soft White (+$)
Q5 Flux (WH Tint) Soft White (+$)
Q5 Flux (WG Tint) Cold White (+$)
Q5 Flux (WC Tint) Cold White (+$)
R2 Flux (WG Tint) Cold White (+$)
XR-E Flux and Warm White Tint Bin Selection:

Batts for Miller Mod??

Hello All: Since I own no AAA lights at present, I'll be picking up batteries and a likely a charger for my (hopefully) soon to be produced MillerMod, and my question is: What kind??? I have no idea what works best in this light - NiMH, Eneloop, lithium primary, etc. Any ideas or suggestions are appreciated.
TIA,
Greg :confused:

I have a Sanyo 900mAh Nimh cell that I used in my MillerMods 3-level L0P for the last year and a half. I charge it every Sunday night and it gets me through the week without trouble. I mostly use low but use medium and high (3/4 watt) once in a while.

If you don't think you'll use it often then an Eneloop or Energizer lithium may be better for you.

Was kind of bored tonight, so I dropped the list into a spreadsheet, numbered it, and updated it. Please check your request for accuracy... I did not update all the Q3's to Q5's (or R2's...), I'm assuming Eric will contact everybody before their light is built to give them the current choices, but any other requests in THIS post have been updated. I did not look at the original, locked post. Any other mistakes, please PM me.

gig thanks for updating the list.
Having a number against my name makes it easier to figure how close I am to the top.

thanks for taking this on, greg (aka: gjg).

EXCELLENT job!

to answer your Q about what batts are best in these MM: i use Eneloop in my P4 and find them perfect for the task. you'll need them for high power models like his 1.5 models, but if you go with a 3/4 watt (high power) unit then alkalines work fine.

Am I in time to get in line? :wave: If so I will take one also. Since I assume it's going to be a while, I will wait on picking specs until my order draws near, that is if thats ok? :popcorn:

Do we have any idea of the production rate?

I'm in the 80's - do I have a chance of getting this for my wife for Christmas 08?

I would like to get one of these. Hopefully I can get one before cockroaches rule the earth. :crackup:

Add me to the list as 50/1.00/(best available)

I wish I had a sure answer but the dust is still settling. I finally got my house on the market and just got finished filling the moving truck and we're heading back to Columbus. We still have about 1/4th of the stuff to move. I have also been helping my dad with some of his home projects while I'm living there. I think in about 2 weeks I'll be back at building lights and will have yours done the first week I start again.


A month in a half back (Nov 3rd) it was promiced that builds would start in 2 weeks? When will production really start?

Please put me down for one. Since I'm so far up the line, I'll hold off giving specs until I'm a bit further up, since things will undoubtedly change by then. Thanks.
