v5 Triple BOSS Flashlight (Bright Output Small Size)

[tab665]

Easy enough Tab, convert your Mah to Watt hours for your battery and Hey Presto!
Multiply Cell Mah by Cell Voltage = Wh.
Wh / Watts at emitter = runtime. Give or take losses in the system.

thanks man!!! would i use 4.2 or 3.7 for the cell voltage?

 

[peter yetman]

3.7 for a truer result. P

So so we know this light is Boss, but what about this knife? It's a CRK Umnumzaan, which is Zulu for Boss.

So who bosses who? :shrug:

Haha, I do believe so! That would be ideal!
I just can't take the Boss and the Zaan to work, or I'll be the one being Bossed around! :laughing:

 

[Nichia!]

Does the old/New patina make Gray hands?

 

[Luckyonion]

I have seen any

Is this an indication that you'll be breaking from alternating drop with black, or is more of a "mini drop" type of deal?

I've seen mentioned that the XPL-Hi 4000k option will be limited in the future, is this correct?

This particular release is us running out of time with batch 6 before leaving for our trip. So a mini drop of 6, between 6 and 7. We are still committed to the full schedule through batch 10. Brass and Copper are returning for batch 7, likely with a new look.

However, we are switching to a split batch process with 7A, 7B, 8A, 8B, etc. Reducing the size of each specific release and the time between them.

I've seen mentioned that the XPL-Hi 4000k option will be limited in the future, is this correct?

Yes. In theory we are switching between XPL RD and XPL HI based on logistical considerations but those considerations consistently favor HI, so far this year. You can expect to see XPL RD all of the time and 219C some of the time, with XPL HI, rarely. At least into winter.

Awesome! I just ordered a 18650 body :twothumbs

What might the chance be for a delrin cap to cover the second body, for those that have multiple? This would make it super easy to carry it with batteries ready to go.

They are in process and should be ready soon. Lemme know if you'd like this order held so they ship together.

That would be Awesome!

What great customer service! Reading my mind, and making the product I want before I even ask

Or maybe the Boss is sentient, and let you know... that would change things! :huh:

I have to say that when comparing my original Al BOSS (1st run) with XPL-HI 4000K to my Brass BOSS with XPL-RD 4500K, in my opinion the XPL-HI is superior in tint and beam. The beam being more focussed and the tint being beautiful, like a paler version of an incandescent light.

The RD beam is less focussed and has an element of yellow-green in the tint that I don't find quite as pleasant to my eyes.

Having said that the XPL-RDs are, if anything, brighter and produce a spectacular output. If I had a choice though, it would be XPL-Hi every time.

I agree with this completely, as has everyone I discussed if with. I've even found that many prefer the HI over the 219c with regards to tint.

 

[xdayv]

To my untrained/tired eyes, I find the XPL Redome pleasing enough and mimics 219C, although the warmer tint of the XPL Hi has a more nostalgic feel to it, but am not too picky, so just fine with either.

Me too. The XP-L HI is my favourite right now.

Question time...can the heat given off by BOSS at max output damage tritium vials? Recently got a BOSS 70 from Ozy with trits, and they look crazy cool, but I don't want to damage them. Thinking about switching the head to my 35 body if there's a possibility of damaging them. Thanks

All I can do is speak from experience since I have no real data to share, but I seriously doubt it. I once severely overheated another light, a solid titanium light with an array of trits around the head. This light, in fact:

The light got so hot that it burned the hand that touched it - like _actually_ burned it, red welts but no blisters. And it melted the bottom of its Carclo optic (which happens at 155C according to Google). The legs were destroyed and the base of the collectors nearest the emitters were all deformed. But the tubes around the head were unaffected. No problems there at all. I replaced the optic in the light and its still going strong to this day.

And really, that's not very surprising to me. Tritium is a gas. It would take a lot of heat to cause that gas to expand enough to blow out those borosilicate tubes, I'd think.

Also don't forget that the Boss is a regulated light with thermal management. It won't ever get that hot anyway.
