Looks different from the first pictures and I liked the original look better.
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.
i think i prefer my FT01.
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.
Agreed.
Pineapple knurling
SMO or OP?
Smooth
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.
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.
I would like smooth reflector.
Looks kinda similar to the Imalent DM70.
I’d go with a smooth reflector definitely. I’m have a collection of unused OP reflectors.
Will the bezel be unglued?
What about a clip?
I was too engross in finishing this mockup, till i overlooked their updated head design.
Something about this revision looks much better. Can't put my finger on it, but it's an improvement. Let's say step 2 in this direction would hit the right spot.
Can they change the pineapple knurling for something else?
Edit, I put the final production design next to the new design to see the changes better, I notice that the space under the switch has been changed, wish they change the pineaple knurling to this.
I agree, this mockup looks better. The head is nicer and a slightly shorter bezel(?) improves the look imo.
Different knurling would get a big from me but I fear it’s too late for that now.
I would also like it if the lanyard holes were integrated into the tail opposed to extending the tail just to accommodate the holes.
