OK so my DEFT made it! Nice box, CF ring, everything.

Two things for folks waiting.
1 it is WORTH THE WAIT! This thing is just bad ***.
2 Thow it does.... it was sorta funny to see non-flashaholic folks want to buy it off me the second it got in their hands. Wall bouncing is ok, just wait till you get this out 50-100yards...then this thing comes alive.

Well built, the MC-E WH is a nice addition also. nice kick in power

I am defiantly going to see what the "black Tie" is all about now.

Thanks,
Happy customer

My pool of drool just got bigger.
 
Any luck getting hold of some of those 4000 lumen LED samples? I haven't seen any updates here, or anywhere in the forum.

I have experienced this myself. It makes instant flashaholics of people. I have seen grown men giggle like little girls when they get it in their hands.

Well I was not really interested in the 4000lm parts. The single die one is what I am after. I am still waiting on word back from them. Even if I get some I don't know if there will be enough to sell as pills for the DEFT as I am just getting samples to do some R+D work with.
 
I just got my light and WOW!!! The detail in work is superb. This light was well worth the money and the wait. I have compared it to three other aspherical lights that I own and the DEFT spanks them all without breaking a sweat. Good job and keep up the good work.
 
Okey dokey - it is about time for me to order an MC-E pill for my DEFT. I want to be sure I have one for the Seattle Get-Together.

I'll take:

MC-E 370lm 4A *$59 (3 in stock)

Paypal should be sent tonight. :devil:
Does that above price include shipping?

edit: :paypal:

Michael DEFT received ok and is looking good. Bright sunshine here but the DEFT throws much better than my self built aspherics and I can see the LED's die projected on the wall down the garden, none of my aspherics can do that. Now just waiting for the darkness to see how the DEFT really performs. Ok, after it got dark I took the DEFT out into the hills to test and OMG it really does live upto expectations and throws an incredible beam.
Cheers

Finally got my light today! This is such a nice piece. I'm really impressed with your work Michael. With a product like that, I'm sure to get stuff from you in the near future. I was quite impressed with the Q25A in it. It puts out quite a nice white beam. The one downside could be the side spill, which looks dark orange, but I could care less about that. Once you put the diffuser lens, everything disappears. Also, seeing how nice that diffuser lens works, I'm tempted to get a second DEFT just so that I could have both options ready at any moment. Not that it's long to switch lens, but actually to give me a good reason to own 2 DEFT's to play with😀 That diffused lens puts out such a nice beam. I was expecting so much more spill from it, which I didn't want, but instead it still has some good throw and some useful spill as well. This light is pretty damn amazing! And I didn't even got outside yet.

I wanted to do some comparison shots along with the Maxabeam, PH-50 and Eznite, but it has already been done. Anyway, it's raining and everything turned in frickin mud up here. I'll have to find a nice place to take some ranged pics of these.

Glad to see someone else really appreciate the beam that the diffuser puts out. The beauty of it's beam can get lost in the excitement created by the smooth lens.
