and now some of my first pictures:

thanks for the great pics!

Looks really good.

Should have some nice throw too. The copper is icing on the cake and it should let you know there is some there when you hold it.,

man, that copper head looks very nice. Thanks for all the pictures, any plans for beamshots or comparisons to other lights?

it's dark outside right now , and very nice weather too

Looks great, reminds me of the raidfire spear

hi griffs68dart and :welcome:
the light was bought directly from the manufacturer in a special promotion and is not yet available at the usual dealers, you'll have to wait until a dealer starts selling it.

Looks like a combination of Raidfire Spear, Olight M30 and Fenix TK15

Wow, excellent pictures. Thank a lot!
Looks very sturdy & well made light.
I'd appreciate if you show the beamshots.

That copper looks more like brass. Perhaps it's just the White balance of the photos. Are you certain that it is copper?

Great snaps what a sexy looking light! Congrats

Gold plated or solid gold?

If solid gold the price would be considerable...

To me it looks like aluminium with yellow anodisation.

well, black anodisation would be best to maximize the heat given off by radiation, but it's certainly not black

It's solid copper but gold plated, looks very nice :thumbsup:

Thank you for the info. I contacted the manufacture. She referred me to an individual in the States. I am going to email him for a quote. Will post what I find out. :shrug:

Say, is that the tailcap that came with it? The tailcap for the X3 looks different in the catalog. That looks like switch for an X1.
