Thats funny, as i was thinking about what would be the best UI, i thought why not use the good old potentiometer
This digital variant will be the same idea, very neat!
Interested. I love rotating ring variable brightness control. I just wish it had USB charging. Not a single magnetic ring brightness control with usb charge in existence.
it turns any light and any battery (both LiIon and Eneloop), into a USB light, or battery
that means I can charge both my RRT-01 and my Maratac, with the Olight charger…
.
choices are good:
if the charger is in the light, it means I cant use the light, so I prefer an option that lets me keep using the light by just changing cells and charging outside the light
If you dont ise the usb charge feature, it is basically a regular light. Just replace batteries when you need to. Simple as that. Dont see how the usb cable can hold anybody back.
Yelp, turn the control ring to the right about 1/32 of a turn and it comes on in moonlight, the more you turn the brighter it gets.
The cool thing about the RRT01 is that with only one hand you can turn it off and on and adjust brightness without every having to flip it around to hit the switch like the V11R. Hold the light in the normal down range position and its controlled completely at your finger tips.
I guess I dont see the appeal. Isn’t this exactly what an e-switch light does? one handed operation with dimming but without option of memory?
I got the V11R and it’s cool because it does something no other light does (dimming + mode changing while “off”). You can also “set it and forget it” if you wish.
That’s the difference between these two control ring lights.
V11R has to be flipped or hand hold changed to hit the switch but remains at what ever level the control ring is set to.
RRT01 doesn’t require anything but the turn of the ring for on and off but always starts in moonlight, no memory so to speak.
Each design has its own advantages. V11R on/off is tail switch controlled, so your hand will be in a specific orientation. You then have to change it to adjust intensity (or use your other hand). But then you have on/off control with a fixed output. RRT-01 has only one control, so you’re always holding it in one orientation for on/off and intensity. If you’re used to having a sequential set of fixed brightness levels, it’s a very different feel. Some people may simply not like it.
