I’d give more answers, but it’d only be speculation. I don’t have direct contact with Lumintop, and haven’t seen most of the communication behind the scenes.
As far as features go, I’m not sure about some hardware details like emitter type, but the basic host design is unlikely to change much and the firmware is mostly ready. The UI is Anduril, which is sort of like an evolution of Narsil, so it has lots of features. Smooth ramp or a mode group, both configurable, with lots of extras like blinkies and special modes. I should probably put a summary in one of the first-page posts.
Without this UI it’s just another light. (OK, it’s got a lot going for it but imagine if it shipped with the S42 UI!)
The hobby has not been the same for me since Liteflux disappeared, I feel that Anduril has got us right back where we need to be.
Simple is great but some of us like the ability to do more than just turn on the light.
Thank you for all of your effort!
I think 4000K makes sense for a thrower, because it has less blue light to scatter and obscure the target. It also makes sense for a lantern. But for a more traditional flashlight I prefer things in the 4500-5000K range.
I am currently #758 for 1 flashlight. I would like to add another light to my total request; so, I am requesting to be put down for two (2) lights.
Could whoever is currently keeping track of such things (a truly thankless job!) properly adjust my light-number request? Also, let me know if a different method of making this kind of request is preferred?
pepinfaxera is currently tracking requests. They appeared suddenly from the ether when a need arose, and volunteered for a thankless tedious task. It’s kind of amazing.
… and I started writing a bot to try to do it, but I’ve been dragging my feet and it’s not ready yet.
