I’m high-en the stakes. Want 3 x XHP 70 and 3x18650. Or one with flat 2x18650 battery case, with 2 or 3 XHP 70 head.
I would like to see a “re-invention” of the human powered flashlight.
Most things I see on the market are low quality, with plastic gears, plastic case, fake emitters etc.
I am wondering what would be possible with modern bearings, brushless dnyamos, good optics efficient LEDs, super-capacitors etc.
How many watts can a human produce with his hand? I don’t know.
What type of light would you like the next BLF Special Edition to be?
Add the Mateminco MT07 and the Emisar D18 and divide by two. Twelve W2 emitters, two 21700 or three 18650. 12,000 lumens, optics configured for a balance between flood and throw, so as to have a beam not too narrow, and throw not too low.
It’s just a rough poll, and having too many choices often waters it down so much the result is pointless. Generally reflectors/beams etc are thrashed out after the form factor is chosen, though I agree a balanced versatile beam is what we all want right? 
I think the next BLF light should be
Whatever someone wants enough to gather support for, organize development for, get an interest list for, and successfully pitch to a manufacturer.
It’s a lot of work. I don’t think the development is going to happen based on poll results or even popularity. It’s going to happen because one person, or a small group of people, get really dedicated to a project and make it happen. Sure, it helps if something can generate a 1000+ name interest list, but it takes more than just that to happen.
I voted for a keychain light.
I'm thinking something similar to what Rovyvon offers, but at a more budget price.
...
EDIT:
I also like Multi Emitter - Short Range / Pocket Rocket because I cannot have enough of those. 
+1
Something true EDC-able. BLF spirit in the pocket.
Let’s see … 23%. We won, poll can be closed :+1:
Single emitter, 16340, Anduril.
Anduril olight s mini / mini emisar
I'd like to see an angel eyes kind of light . A light that is lightweight ,hangs around your neck and knows exactly what mode you want at any and all times ...Alexa dim the lights !!!
maybe a nice BLF AA driver......
Side by side AA/14500 light with Narsil. White, red and UV emitters. No FET drivers and a simple ramping UI. I am tired of FW Andruil lights. I’m over it.
At this point I don’t think Tom E is working on Narsil anymore. It would be a bit wild to see it on a new light.
BLF Zoomie, single cell single emitter with variable focus lens.
With the Convoy Z1, that would be what the BLF A6 is to the S2.
the sofirn q8 is a fantastic job and i love it.
A single 21700 cell single emitter utilitarian flashlight/headlamp with simple UI that chases usable runtime and useful beam profile rather than over-the-top few-second turbos and bunch of gimicky aux lights for show.
Something usefull, not just a flashy decoration you show your friends.
But who am I to say what’s needed.
What about a duel 21700 cell light with an optical lens that creates a massive flood beam around the outer rim of the optic while the center throws a 2000m beam down the center. 2000 to 2500lm should do it. Maybe use a single 35HI or a XHP50. The emitter could be whatever as long as it was stable in turbo mode for 5 minutes+. Can a special optic lens be made for something like this or would the cost be ridiculous. Just thinking out loud. With the L17, W30 and MC13 and others using lenses, this IMO is the next stage of super throwers but with power behind it in a much smaller platform.
I also really hope that manufacturers will release something similar.
Sloppy sketch:
Option 2*14500 can also be interesting
I like that idea a lot.
an updated version of this light would be great:
I would be interested in this:
Maybe Osram in one side and high CRI LED with beaded TIR on other side.
very interesting idea.
