Interested Thank You.
I am fine with the way it is.
Does it have a lighted switch?

Maybe I exaggerated; lets wait.
I’d think they would want to make it look better for their own sales. I’m fine with it either way.
How the rest of the members feel? Are you guys fine with the final look or you guys think that there is a need for refinement?
Not Bad, but it look cheaps i agree. And OP Reflector too. Do you know if there is soon a SMO refl. available?
Looks different from the first pictures and I liked the original look better.
It needs refinement, I liked the first design better, any chance for a less orange peel reflector?
I like the Fireflies E01 design, wish it had a charging port and a reflector option.
i think i prefer my FT01.
Interested. Thanks.
Not a fan of pineapple knurling in general. I agree the looks are fairly bland and generic. That’s not to say shove more fins and what not on it. Personally I think the Emisar D4S is a great example of simple, elegant and practical design.
Anyways, let’s say that the Astrolux FT02 it’s looking quite nice, the nicest of the bunch.
Agreed.
Pineapple knurling
SMO or OP?
Smooth
Original design did not pass IPX-8 test.

SMO is my preference regardless of the emitter. I do have XHP50/70 lights that came with the OP reflector to smooth out the beam, but I couldn't stand them, and for which I could find an SMO reflector I've bought one and swapped it and the ones that I haven't found a SMO reflector for, are just sitting either collecting dust or in their boxes. I really don't like the smoothing out of the hot-spot one bit. I like a clean sharp hot-spot, even if it's not the best looking. At best I think I would take a hybrid reflector for such emitters, OP at the base and SMO at the top.
Regards.
OP seems better in this kind of light as its not designed to be a thrower?

Where did the original images go? All I see now is the one you have labeled as the final design.
I have a feeling that there is something lacking in the final image. I can’t pin down exactly what makes me think this. Maybe the head profile making it look like a lollipop? Was the large knurling smooth or textured?
I’ll probably wind up with one anyway, as I like 21700 powered mid-lumen general purpose lights. I just wish the profile was straighter. Not necessarily BLF A6 style straight, but closer to the Convoy M3.
I would like smooth reflector.
Looks kinda similar to the Imalent DM70.
I’d go with a smooth reflector definitely. I’m have a collection of unused OP reflectors.
Will the bezel be unglued?
What about a clip?
