What combination of dual LED for AA Flashlight do you prefer?

If the light was supposed to function with both leds working at the same time, I would mark “Cold + Neutral” so that we could have a “balanced” beam (despite it would probably be more on the Cold white).
However, as it is supposed to have different leds not working together, I guess most people here will prefer Neutral instead of Cold white.

If, as DavidEF said, you offered CW + Warm White working together it was possible that more people choose the CW version as well.

I’ve been seing the project that you’re developing and it is quite nice.
But the decisions on the types of LEDs, their tints and the user interface will be crucial for this project to work and to be a real winner! My point…:wink:

NW XPG2 and a COB on the side. It needs to start in the same mode you turned it off in. No flashing.

I guess this is more the design they have in mind:

But correct me if I’m wrong, pandapanda :wink:

EDIT: and instead of side switch it will have tail switch:

I think it would be helpful to have a bit more info about the light you’re designing. Emitter choice might depend on form factor and intended use of the light.

I never get what I want!!!

+ 1 here :smiley: The initial design of this light (with side switch) was more appealing for me, but it was changed! Now, this led choices…let’s see where it ends!
I guess that they have all the opportunity to make a classy, appealing, well designed and powerfull flashlight (the first numbers were about 1000lumens), with a nice (programmable :blush: ?) user interface!

I’m not sure where this will end, but I’m still interested to know! There is room to innovation, and for a nice build on this light :wink:

Night vision preservation… any application really where I need to see and I do not want to dilate my eyes. Hunting would be included in that as well as night hiking, backpacking, camping.

Indeed, the two LEDs can work together.

Both LEDs can work independently as well as together (Two LEDs are illuminating). And max lumens (2 LEDs working) with 14500 powered is about 1400 lumens.

Yes, it will have a tail switch and a head twist for switching between LEDs (single and both working).

I like a light for each purpose but since you narrow me down to 2 I pick neutral and red. If i had a choice I would pick neutral and green.

And yes I picked both for hunting. Again I carry 2. A floody neutral and a spot green. I do have a spot red but it seems everybody and their mom has one for hogs around here and while the pigs are not supposed to be able to see it they do. The rednecks are swapping to green now so it’s just a matter of time they have the hogs trained to run from every color.

So, if everyone knew that this light wasn’t going to be good for hunting, those who voted for a red emitter would change their vote, right? :innocent:

:smiling_imp: Evil U :smiley: :sunglasses:

No, I wouldn’t. Green has the opposite effect as red. Green dialtes eyesight more readily than red.

I was going with the hypothesis that everyone who voted for red was voting for it to be a hunting light. Since the design of the light itself will make it not good for hunting, I supposed that those people might choose another LED combo that they’d like that would be useful with this light design.

Too much to expect from this crowd? Maybe. :stuck_out_tongue:

I voted Neutral/Red. That said, the dream dual emitter for me would be a high CRI 4500K / Amber.

It will come available later this month. :wink:

NW+UV because someone paid me.

Oh, is that all it takes? A little bribery? :smiling_imp:

Are any of you guys who voted for NW + Red able to be bribed? I don’t have much money, but I could send you a cheap flashlight that I have lying around. :stuck_out_tongue:

Put it this way I prefer red for times when I need night dilated vision preserved, be it hunting or otherwise. Although the red light itself is not used for spotting/targeting game… the actual act of hunting / killing.

One thing I find about extended exposure to red light is it tint shifts my vision-color spectrum. Just a few minutes of red light is all it takes. It makes me temporarily extra sensitive to white and green light, until my vision re-adjusts back. Its like getting a little OTF lumen boost.
