Unfortunately we could not find a good IPS with the touchscreen function. By the way, your links are not really a touch screen
We want to use exactly IPS-screen, not OLED, for comfortable use.
There are also many difficulties to use a touchscreen with gloves. YLP wants to make lights for real use, including outdoor and hard work, not just for the city or for the home collection.
Therefore, the flashlight will be controlled only by buttons.
Haha! I wish I would have seen this thread earlier because I just ordered the YLP 2M CRI headlamp two days ago. I haven’t yet received an order acknowledgement email yet though…
I think I just ordered the Panda 3R and Panda 2M-CRI. Not entirely sure because the site kept switching back to Russian while I was trying to order. But Paypal says I just sent 5314 Rubles to someone.
Probably to “OOO Aproc.” You’ll first receive an email in Russian about your purchase and then you’ll receive a short email in English after it has been sent with your tracking number.
The other cool thing is you will receive in the box, a receipt or two with, among other things, you name in Russian.
Has anyone measured performance of Falcon F15 or Falcon F20?
YLP claims 32 cd/lm with XP-L HI which would be really really great considering optics size and beam smoothness.
A little off topic, but just wanted to share my opinion on one of YLP lights.
I’ve been using Panda 2M CRI for a time.
I’m really positively surprised with this headlamp. Things I like most:
- great color and beam pattern for short to medium distance
- simple and useful UI
- firm head band
great for outdoors as well as electronics work
This is quite unique nowadays producer is not chasing fartyllion thousands lumens. Thanks to that the light does not get insanly hot is feels like it can survive everything.
To me a great value especially (thanks YLP) when used a code.
One can see Falcon F15 delivering 19.3 kcd in throw mode.
According to specs that should be 25.9 kcd.
Maukka doesn’t say whether the measurement was taken on the highest mode…but considering that one mode down should have 7.8 kcd, that seems to be the highest.
I’m somewhat disappointed to see the light performing 25% below the specs. Seeing that lm claims are modest and that YLP lights are fine in general I assumed I could trust the numbers…
Same here - just ordered the Panda 2M-CRI on the BLF-20 coupon. Didn't expect it but up popped PayPal when ordering.
I built up my own customized headlamp that is very similar to this one, running NarsilM and high CRI LED's, but boy, this one has a lot of the desirable features for bench work.
