This kills it for me. Love the E05 but don’t hardly use it because of the HOLD for off. As mentioned before — click for off and hold to cycle.
Interested if you change the reylight clip. Shortcut to low and single click for off.
I would prefer following changes:
UI:
- single click = ON/OFF (no mode memory)
- long press (from ON) = cycle modes (low - med - high), or ramp up/down
- long press (from OFF) = moonlight (0.1lm - 0.5lm)
- doubleclick (from ON/OFF)= Turbo
- => another click: return to previous mode
- => another double click: SOS
- => another double click: Beacon
- 4x click (from OFF) = e-lockout ON/OFF
- 6x click (from OFF) = cycle mode groups (stepped modes or ramping)
Alternatively, I would also prefer some stripped Andúril like RampingIOS 2.0.
Lens:
Are there any pictures of the front available. Maybe Wuben can check using a single TIR lens for a better beam profile (smooth hotspot with less spill, less artifacts/tintshift compared to SMO/OP reflector).
Material:
Well, I'm not a fan of heavyweight metal like copper. For a small, sturdy and relatively low-powered keychain light titanium might be much more interesting, being not as heavy as copper but tougher against wear and tear as well as impacts. For people with very deep pockets Wuben could use something like Mokume Gane, see Reylight's LAN for reference...
Sorry, I didn’t mean to sound rude or pick you out - my point was he is asking for opinions on an existing light , which is in the op.
When you want virtually every bit about it changed then go on to say it’s ugly (so presumably you don’t care for the shape either), I just wondered why you’d even want it anyway? you seem to like nothing about it as is.
Sorry, my thoughts ran away with me is all. Again, I apologise for that.
Now for my thoughts…… :person_facepalming:
I’d rather it had the clip as in the photo, more so it’s removable like the fw3a - not a clip on one. The clip as in the photo is fine, nice and strong, easy to remove.
I’d rather it didn’t have a million click UI - just something simple and reliable with no silly sos, blinkies, lightshows, 30 different moonlights etc etc. This isn’t that type of light for me.
Trit holes - way too many vs the price of the light. If unfilled they can look bare and silly and only a tiny tiny amount of people can afford to fill all of them, so it’s pointless - 1 or 2 yes. Maybe make the trit tailcap an option to keep the price down - there’s a lot of operations and time involved in doing all those holes - maybe reducing it could reduce the price too. Lights with that many trit holes are for people with lots of disposable income.
No problem, G0OSE. I don’t know the background and thought, it was just a prototype and ger-slash finding out what people think. With slight changes to the pattern on the tube, it would be much better in my eyes. But one has to see it in reality, of course.
If possible, please change the UI. Long press to cycle through modes and click for off. Also, please don’t clone the ReyLight design. Make your own.
Are both colours copper? and is it single click for on/off? Roughly what price will it be?
There is no need to clone the reylight clip, it is not even a particularly good looking clip so it tells me it’s just laziness to design a new one. I am assuming wuben is also the “OEM manufacturer” of reylight, the only reason they look so alike.
The power sign on the switch makes it look generic, and the UI could use some improvement like mentioned above.
Wuben’s perspective (speculation)
Boss says,
hey guys, lets sell some red and yellow copper lights
Rey is not moving enough of them, and we already have the LAN ReyLight CNC files.
Change the design to a sideswitch on the head, and add a couple lines around the body
lets sell some lights!
.
Staff says
any particular driver?
.
Boss says
whatever… get it done
and dont bother me about the clip
we already have a pile of them, Rey is not moving them out fast enough…
get them gone!
also, float some social media marketing on BLF and such… maybe they want to do a group buy?
.
Staff says
Nooooo, boss please!
not a BLF group buy, those guys are nuts… first thing they do is argue about UI… all we hear lately is Anduril this, and Anduril that…
it takes years to float a project with those guys… besides, they dont put money up front, like Rey does…
.
Boss says:
ok, just run with it as is, put them on the AliEx store for what Ray pays us…
I want these red and yellow copper bar stock out of here
lets sell some lights!
otherwise were gonna hafta twist up some mokume from the leftover materials…
get that stuff sold!
ROFL 
This apart i like the light a lot… (don’t mind the UI), but haven’t seen the price…
As funny as it sounds I’m sure this is the exact way things went
Lots of Inspiration from lumintop of course…
If I remembered correctly Wuben did produce a titanium e05 before. Will be great if they will offer a ti version of this light.
anduril UI!
and no copper, no brass!
jon_slider, I must admit you’re one of the funniest guys on BLF. Great illustration, indeed. 
They did, a Damascus version!
It was a 300€ flashlight, considered by Wuben as a “little gift to our customers who support us along the way.It has the limited quantity,only 60pcs.”
Maybe these copper and brass versions can have better prices and better UI and make it more a “community” flashlight.
BTW, at freeme, that i05 model one was indicated by you, and it had the same tube design has these that are presented in this thread.
It is weird, seeing this consideration :
Super interested in this light
Hi guys,
Sorry for the confusion. Just heard about this and I am here to clear things up.
Firstly, this model from Wuben is not a copy or inspired from ReyLight LAN.
Actually I worked as marketing rep in Wuben company a few years ago. After I left, I designed my own lights- Brass Pineapple and Ti LAN, and had them manufacture for me. So, we are buddies.
Secondly, when the damascus I05 was made for their 10th anniversary. I was aware of the designs and drawings, and I said yes to that. The clip was purchased directly from me. And I was proud to own one of the very limited batch too. Because they are really rare and only for the very important persons.
Thank you.
Rey
Thanks for clearification!
I’d like to add something: Wuben usually prominently and proudly prints the “W” onto the switch. I find this much nicer than just the switch symbol. No reason to hide where the light comes from.
No.
Single click for on, single click for off. Hold button to cycle through modes. Long press for off is always stupid.
Any news about this project?
