![]() No accidental switching on, no parasitic drain, instant one handed finding and use. I just retired after 27 years in law enforcement, physical tail switches on a duty belt light is very important. Side switch for mode selection only with double tap for turbo and double tap again for strobe. Physical tail switch for strictly on/off and momentary use with pressure. FC should always be freely accessible.įor the last few years I carry what I think is the best duty light. It is hard to beat, but if you manage to do it, you can sell it.īTW, the collar-less switch is good. Get yourself a TrustFire T11R and be better than this light. Choose SST40 in 5700 or, even better, 5000K. Let it have a massive shelf to take some heat, a couple of mm length more is not important.įorget pressing the last lumen out of it by using cw emitters. The light should point downwards, the clip should be fixed with screws. Calculate 10 to 20 minutes on low at the end of battery life.Ĭarefully design a clip. Response is a little slow, but better than the regulation (if there’s any) of many other lights. That said, your temperature regulation algorithm is not bad. Invest in developing an efficient driver and take some more money for the expensive parts instead of competing with Sofirn/Wurkkos. However, lights with similar features are ubiquitious. So:ĭouble click - switch between max and last mode A reverse clicky would be nonsense along with a side switch.Īn EDC light should not have a mechanical button imo.Ī good FC+sideswitch UI includes switching the light off with the side switch. A forward clicky allows for momentary light, which is a typical ‘tactical’ feature. Not sure if other members will agree with you.ĭo you agree with Quadrupel about the switch, please comment below to let us know. Regards the emitter, SFT40 and Nichia 519A are both nice, this suggestion will inspire us when developing this flashlight. Common flashlight users they don’t use flashlight as members here do, if you are quite satisfied with the user interface then, it should be okay for the common users. ![]() Now it is quite difficult to make innovation in flashlight, so user experience is the point we pay most attention to, and that is why we here to ask suggestion. It’s very useful and none of the competitive options on the market currently have that feature. I had an Olight M1X years ago that had that feature. The inclusion of a shortcut to moonlight (hold side switch while pressing tail switch) is a great idea. The offerings from those other companies I mentioned mostly use low-efficiency direct drive. Offering this light at a low price point with a switching driver would be compelling too. Perhaps you could offer SFT40 for users who want maximum brightness and throw, and also offer Nichia 519A (de-domed) for users who want nice color temperature, tint (DUV), and CRI. I think offering multiple, popular LED options would be a great start. What features do you plan to add that will make this light competitive with what’s already available? How will this be different than all the other dual-switch lights available right now? Wowtac, Wurkkos, Sofirn, Thrunite, and many other brands have already saturated the market with $30-50 lights just like this, with a mechanical forward clicky switch on the tail for on/off, an electronic switch on the side for changing modes, and USB recharging. Mode switching: When the light is on, press and hold the side switch for 5s to activate mode switching, there are 2 modes, Mode 1(Turbo-Turbo-Turbo) and Mode2 (Strobe-Turbo-Storbe-Turbo) release during which mode to switch into that mode. Moonlight startup: Press and hold the side switch+click the tail switch. ![]() Instant SOS: From ON, Triple click on the side switch to activate SOS. Instant Strobe(Mode 2): From ON, double click on the side switch, to activate Strobe, click to return to the previous status. Instant Turbo(Mode 1): From ON, double click on the side switch, to activate Turbo, click to return to the previous status. Thanks.Ĭlick on tail switch to turn ON/OFF the light, tap to turn momentary on, double tap to turn on Turbo(Mode 1)/Strobe(Mode 2)įrom ON, click on side switch to select from Moonlight-Eco-Low-Med-High. Please check and comment to express how your opinion and suggestions. We are planning to develop a tail clicky flashlight, the look above is not fixed, neither the User Interface, which comes below.
