I like the one I already have, but I’d love it if I could start in .5 lumens instead of that being the last setting.

My Innova X1 is no more, so I’m open to options.
Interested.
I keep telling myself I don’t need it, but this sounds highly interesting.
If it comes down to making a compromise, Anduril is a more compelling feature to me than AA-support, even though both is even better.
LH351D, SST-20, and 219C’s are all emitters that would appearl to me.
I’m interested.
Ive got a few 14500 cells, Im in.
Certainly interested. I wouldn’t mind that gold anodizing Sofirn uses if raw AL falls through.
Interested.
New here so I’m seeking a bit of clarity; why wouldn’t we have a boost driver? Aren’t they more efficient and don’t decrease in brightness as battery voltage drops?
Now I’m interested. Tell us more please….

Some interim feedback. Please note that I am not well-experienced in circuitry/microelectronics and some information has been translated from German into English. However, I hope this current status will give you a (good) feeling about how things are going on...
Next steps:

Awesome news! Thanks for all the hard work you guys do!

Awesome! The progress on the AA/14500 driver is really encouraging. Yes, standby drain matters more on these tiny drivers. I love the idea of getting ATtiny85 working on NiMh AA, though. I would probably have a hard time resisting buying several of these, because with low standby drain I could toss them in a car with Eneloop Pros and forget.
Also, the champagne color would be awesome. Or really, anything besides black gets my vote. I have a lot of black flashlights. My first preference would be the champagne, but bright colors are also nice. Silver's a bit boring to me, but still preferable to black.
Interested. I’d like a 4000k version. I think orange ano would be cool or copper color.
Interested!

Interested depending on price
14500 would be fine for me but working from AA too would be a nice plus
Ok so here’s a few questions for the 14500 crowd:
-What’s a sensible upper drive limit for a light this size? (In terms of thermals and battery capabilities.)
-Turbo + stepdown // yes or no?
I feel like 14500 lights vary a bit. One of my current favorites is the Wuben E05. It starts out at ~1000 lumens and steps down to ~400 after ~3 minutes. That’s higher than most 14500 lights, though. Timed step downs are ok; I think it’s better than not having high enough output to need the step down. But better yet is thermal control, which (thankfully) seems to be becoming more prevalent and reliable.
