My favourite UI was the original version of Biscotti with a 10Hz strobe. Unfortunately the 2nd version had an alternating strobe frequency which killed any sales to light painting photographers.
Hi Simon. I've a quick one for you, what 3D modeling software are you using in those screenshots with the C8+ 21700 and the S11 ? If it's not a state secret or something :)
I don’t really get the point of putting time and effort in developing a premium (super premium in the budget range) product the newer S2+ actually is with quality anodisation in various colours, distinctive grippy knurling, premium emitters like the XPL-HI and SST-20 95CRI, good firmware with LVP, AR coated lens, copper mcpcb and even an elegant button… only to decide to let the status this flashlight has achieved by removing the knurling.
And let’s be honest, the new copper s2+ design looks horribly boring and plain, like a tube with some square grooves in it. And people tend to buy rather good looking things then boring ones. Or just rise the prices slightly.
IMO Simon you are about to make a mistake comparable to Apple removing the headphone jack in their newer iPhones and that it will backfire, but that’s just my opinion.
Nevertheless if you are going on with the plain tube + grooves design you could enhance it a little bit being inspired with similar but more attractive designs. Btw the X3 has a simple form of knurling I see.
