So no clicky tailcap button?
This flashlight is an old-school twisty, for reliability and it keeps the light short.
I think Noir was referring to this pic with the wire.
^ I like the hook for that light, and in other lights, but I’m not sure about the light of this thread. At least it looks like the costs of this solution is a bit higher than of a hole, because it involves an extra part.
But if there is some general support for the hook I can ask Sofirn if it is an option.
Same for a magnet hole instead of a trit hole, if some majority thinks it is a better feature I can ask for that (I will think of a hole size that fits one of the available magnet sizes: not too big but ample strong to hold the light).
Yes it does 
. That silver piece of wire at the tail can be freely moved from side to side, so when you hang it from something it hangs centrally. Have a look at a video of the Pineapple Mini, for example this one.
That is true, but the tail design of the A01 is not particularly brilliant. The flat area is very small so it doesn't tailstand very well and it has some slightly sharp edges, plus there is no place for a trit or a magnet.
Yeah, sorry. I didn’t see that pic that Huey posted. :person_facepalming:
I can get a poll/survey up later tonight regarding tail designs.
I’ve never been a fan of wires such as on the light that Huey posted, but my experience might be clouded by cheap lights that had them fall out or break. I prefer an easily replaceable split ring attachment point instead, personally.
The A01’s tail design is very large and poor at tailstanding, even if it is sturdy and can take a split ring.
I totally agree. One step/light at a time.
Roger that.
Not a fan of a wire type keychain attatchment, goes against the rugged, simple nature of the light IMO.
Strongly agree - it’s not for this light
10,35mm on the seam
They have often a thicker wrap than the alkalines.
Btw have we a name for the light?
I refer to it as
Sofirn 5mm CRI
I only suggested the Pineapple Mini tail design because it hangs centrally (which seems to be a wanted feature) and hadn't been mentioned before, but the reliability, ruggedness and replaceability is indeed a concern, coupled with the potentially higher cost it is probably best to skip that design.
Those CAD visualisations are nice. I’ll delightedly buy a light that looks just like that. The reversible clip for attaching the light to a baseball cap is an excellent plan - I’m always doing that with my 1×AAA lights :+1:
I’d buy the AA version of this too, if anyone ever made it - same LED and driver, but 3× runtime. Put the AAA light on a keyring, put the AA one in a backpack or a glove box. (I said that about the BLF-348 as well 
)
I’m in for 2 of the 3200 please.
That was my first thought after seeing those renderings. 5mm LED’s have been very fragile in my experience. I’ve had them bend and snap when not well supported.
If 6usd or thereabouts happen, I’m in for at least 2-3.
They can not bend in this design, please look at the drawing, the plastic part of the led is surrounded by the aluminium shaft for half its length, the part sticking out is in a cavity. This is not a weak point for the robustness of this light.
Count me in.
