Ah but you’re not aware of everything you see.
You just assume these things are an attack from just me on just 5ar and / or his design.
But i was explaining something and i would like to be corrected if i’m wrong.
But you’re not in the position to do that.
I like the rubber bezel/tail bumpers idea. On a flashlight this large it would be great. I don’t see it in any of the designs, but hope it could be considered for the one(s) that is selected.
Pretty awkward to put a bumper on the head of designs other than 1, it’s the only light that rest on the bezel when standing horizontal, all others stand on the elbow of the head and would require a huge bumper, N°2 would require a quasi condom.
And on design 2 the cigar grip thingy would demand a massive rubber bumper at the tail.
Yeah, I own 2 Sipik clones. 18650 zoomer, sipik clone can stay at highest mode for an hour and it got a little warmer while another smooth flashlight get very hot after 3-5 minutes. Too bad, these clones didn’t last longer than a year. Now I have only C12 and Nitecore EC4 for a long continuous activation. I feel like most flashligh brands making their flashlight brighter but don’t care much about increasing heat dissipation ability.
I hate tail switches on big lights…
You need to hold the light in BOTH hands to reach the switch, and you can’t power it on or off or even change modes with one hand.
If you have two hands free then it is just as easy to grip the light around the neck and feel where the switch is.
The large cutout in the metal makes it even easier to find.
The tail switch will just add cost and complication to the cell carriers and make it need a rim on the back to be able to tail stand.
