▶ Flashlights with BLF User Interfaces - Master List ◀

LED Flashlights – General Info
29

TBH, I’d have to look it up to see if anything is missing. I tend to forget where my stuff has been used, because it’s easier to let my computer remember that sort of thing instead of trying to keep it in my head.

Glancing over the list, I can at least tell you the CPFi Cometa was from Manker, not Jaxman. And it’s cpfitalia, not CPF. The light was supposed to be from Jaxman, but … long story short, I wouldn’t say honesty was one of the project’s strengths.

One thing which comes to mind which wasn’t on the list was the Reylight Dawn. It uses a Texas_Ace derivative of Bistro. And I seem to recall he had a derivative of Bistro on some other lights too, though I forget which. And I think Texas_Ace also has several derivatives of NarsilM on various lights, like the MT09R, GT70, Mini-GT, and S43.

Some lights have used both NarsilM and Anduril in different production batches, like the ROT66 and SP36.

The FW3A was created on TLF before becoming a collaboration with BLF.

The Mateminco X6S (triple Nichia 219C or triple XPL-Hi) also uses Bistro.

32

Thanks d_t_a :THUMBS-UP:

I've added it to the list...

Do you know their official website/store by any chance?

I suppose I can add many others from their assortment, as they have the same lineup as their Astrolux siblings

Will add them all later ...

I believe so, I guess they have identical/the same UIs!

36

Yes, the first version of the ROT66 without auxiliary LEDs went with NarsilM v1.2

37

some miscellaneous info:

The Astrolux FT03 corresponds to (is exactly the same as) the Mateminco MT35-Mini (and thus also uses NarsilM v1.3)
The Astrolux S43/S43S corresponds to the Mateminco S03/S03 copper (and thus also uses NarsilM v1.3)

I think the Haikelite MT03 TA Devourer (MT03 revision 3) also uses NarsilM, similar to the Haikelite MT09R.

38

OP Updated:

  • added LuminTop GT Nano
  • added HaikeLite MT03 (thanks d_t_a)
  • updated link to latest Andúril version! :THUMBS-UP:
  • Mateminco's are next ..

The Sofirn SP36 is with NarsilM. Only Sofirn with Samsung LED comes with Anduril:

I am missing the Lumintop built Fritz FW3A (Anduril).

42

The final production versions are already mentioned on the list, f.e. the TLF/BLF FW3A, B, C, S and T version, ...

As for the original Fritz design in bare aluminum, only a small hand made batch was pursued but never went into full production.

The title of this thread should explain why such hand made lights are not on the list ▶ Flashlights list with BLF User Interfaces (latest production models) ◀

Other than the PL47, are any headlamps available with BLF designed UI?

46

Hi Linburger!

Currently there are no other known production flashlights with BLF UI available, although many others could be "flashable" with BLF firmware ;-)

The Sofirn SP10S BLF Anduril edition is already in production? That would be good news as it likely will be the first AA/14500 light using Anduril…

48

Er, another small correction. It looks like the BLF D80 v2 is using a derivative of Flintrock’s Bistro HD, not Bistro.

They sound like almost the same thing because of the name, but they only actually share a few scattered bits of code in common. I think most of the UI is similar, since it’s aimed at being kinda the same as far as the user is concerned, but some things are different and I’m not sure what. The list of changes is longer than the original user manual, and the code changes themselves are several times larger than the original code.

I’m a little worried about the D80 v2 since Bistro HD was really buggy last time I tried it, and I don’t think it has ever been used in production before. Not sure if Flintrock got it to a stable state before he left.
