Teacher, it’s true! Who among us hasn’t bought a light that looked great, had our favorite emitter, but the UI was lame? I’ve always thought “I’ll adapt” but wind up giving them away.
I’ve adapted to the Skilhunt H03 UI because I use headlamps differently than pocket lights.
Wouldn’t want it on an EDC.
I’m so stoked about this UI I’m slowly trying to figure out flashing attiny chips so I can put it on some other lights.
The bonus with this light is that it most certainly does NOT look like a turd and won’t have lousy emitter/optic combo.
When I got a ZL SC62d it almost killed the hobby for me because it is such a great light.
I predict this light may slow down my purchases but the UI and the prospect of putting it on other lights and lanterns opens up a whole new branch of the hobby. I used to have a blast doing emitter swaps but that has died down since it’s become pretty simple to buy a light with a decent emitter.
Thanks again to all involved!
Edit: thanks for those details goshdogit! Those little things appeal to me. I hear from non-enthusiast “it’s just a flashlight” but these “little” things turn it into a Versatile Lighting Tool which really does let you do so much more than a flashlight and do it with a sophistication and accuracy that cannot be replicated by a light you’d get off a pegboard display at a hardware store.
Also, its probably been asked already but will the ramping on this have speed similar to the D4/D1? I have a Neutron V3 and the ramping is painfully slow compared to those.
could not find sunset in a quick search, maybe TK has a video and I just didn’t see it in my quick search. Then again, probably not very interesting unless it is time lapsed.
