I have to admit that it is partially my fault, for not being able to identify critical changes made in their recent CAD drawings until today.

@varbos

Not interested any more, looks very cheap

Maybe I exaggerated; lets wait.

[Pwsmith]

I’d think they would want to make it look better for their own sales. I’m fine with it either way.

@freeme

How the rest of the members feel? Are you guys fine with the final look or you guys think that there is a need for refinement?

Not Bad, but it look cheaps i agree. And OP Reflector too. Do you know if there is soon a SMO refl. available?

[CM2010]

Looks different from the first pictures and I liked the original look better.

[AlexGT]

It needs refinement, I liked the first design better, any chance for a less orange peel reflector?

I like the Fireflies E01 design, wish it had a charging port and a reflector option.

[rizky_p]

i think i prefer my FT01.

[Guines69]

Interested. Thanks.

Not a fan of pineapple knurling in general. I agree the looks are fairly bland and generic. That’s not to say shove more fins and what not on it. Personally I think the Emisar D4S is a great example of simple, elegant and practical design.

@80T

Anyways, let’s say that the Astrolux FT02 it’s looking quite nice, the nicest of the bunch.

Agreed.

Pineapple knurling

SMO or OP?

[AlexGT]

Smooth

[freeme (youtube.com/@1thedeals)]

Original design did not pass IPX-8 test.

SMO is my preference regardless of the emitter. I do have XHP50/70 lights that came with the OP reflector to smooth out the beam, but I couldn't stand them, and for which I could find an SMO reflector I've bought one and swapped it and the ones that I haven't found a SMO reflector for, are just sitting either collecting dust or in their boxes. I really don't like the smoothing out of the hot-spot one bit. I like a clean sharp hot-spot, even if it's not the best looking. At best I think I would take a hybrid reflector for such emitters, OP at the base and SMO at the top.

Regards.

[mortuus]

OP seems better in this kind of light as its not designed to be a thrower?

Where did the original images go? All I see now is the one you have labeled as the final design.

I have a feeling that there is something lacking in the final image. I can’t pin down exactly what makes me think this. Maybe the head profile making it look like a lollipop? Was the large knurling smooth or textured?

I’ll probably wind up with one anyway, as I like 21700 powered mid-lumen general purpose lights. I just wish the profile was straighter. Not necessarily BLF A6 style straight, but closer to the Convoy M3.

[Andybibbville]

I would like smooth reflector.

[Andybibbville]

Looks kinda similar to the Imalent DM70.

[flightless22]

I’d go with a smooth reflector definitely. I’m have a collection of unused OP reflectors.

Will the bezel be unglued?

[Andybibbville]

What about a clip?

I was too engross in finishing this mockup, till i overlooked their updated head design.
