I welcome help in filling out the blanks. And corrections.
What other lights deserve mention?

Please put me on the list.

Mine is just a prototype copy. They are still working on the firmware and performance upgrade.

Based on what’s listed in post #1, I don’t see any resemblance to Narsil or RampingIOS. This light probably uses it’s own unique ramping UI.

I am in for one …Thanks.

Utorch UT02 is same size as Lumintop ODL20C

These are single cell mini/ medium size thrower class.

Agreed! :-)

Not sure if you have submitted your name? Please use the search function located on the top right hand corner of the list. Avoid double or multiple posting.

Questions are welcome, but please give me sometime to verify the facts from BG. I will ensure all specs are 100% firm before preorder starts.

Interested (you already responded & thanks).

Interested in this one!

My FT02 prototype has some weird UI. Uneven mode spacing (huge gap from moon to the next one and the higher modes are too close to each other). And it has no ramping either.

Click to turn on, always turns on moonlight. Click to advance modes, long click to turn off. After double clicking for turbo, it reverses the cycle from high to low, but you can’t reverse the direction without going to turbo first AFAIK.

Other than that, it feels very good in the hand. It’s nice and chunky and balanced better than the Emisar D1S. The switch is nice and tactile. Reflector shows machining marks and isn’t as smooth as the D1S.
Walls are nice and thick. Double springs in the tail.

Even though Banggood asked, I’m not going to publish any measurements from the proto as it will not represent the retail product (they said the output will be higher). A review of a light with different UI and output wouldn’t serve anyone. So all I can say is, don’t buy it until someone has tested the final light. But if the final light will have a good UI, it seems like a nice one.

Bezel came off easily. Double o-rings in the head. There’s space for a 30mm MCPCB. Lens is 52x2mm.
