Neat design and very high output for a AAA light. Some thoughts for the manufacturer, as I see they’re in the thread:
There should be a headband, preferably a simple band without a top strap. The main reason I like right-angle lights is that they can be a headlamp or a handheld.
Instead of an “engineering mode” to set the moonlight level, just make it a four-mode light with say, 0.2, 10, 60 and 200 lumens.
It has a timed stepdown. I don’t like timed stepdowns.
The usual Manker e-switch UI that lumps the max mode in with the blinkies is kind of weird.
I see there is a Nichia 219C version (presumably 90 CRI, 4000K like everybody is using lately). Thank you for that. I’ll almost always give up some lumens for better color quality.
I vote for engineering mode, I have 21 options for choose my preferred low or moonlight…is great 21 steps for the moonlight, if you like the ultralowest you have less than 0,1, or you can choose, 0,2-0,3…… to a maximun step around 4 lumens.
4 modes is good, but why not the option of engeneering mode? is not obligatory use it……
Yup. This light begs to be a 1xAA neutral white light that comes with a simple headband. (I presume targeting the Zebralight market, like the T01 does, from the looks of it.) Still, it is very impressive output for a 1xAAA light, but unfortunately AAA batteries just don’t hold enough juice to give them useful runtimes for outdoors.
