▶ Flashlights with BLF User Interfaces - Master List ◀

Thanks for the update, TK!

I really hope the D80 v2 is ready for prime time when it rolls out.

Thanks for the information, TK. When you say “buggy”, can you provide us some examples of what to look out for (eg. doing this mode to the flashlight, may result in this unexpected result…) — also those who got prototype of BLF D80v2 for testing, would have some idea of what conditions to test them on…

It has been a while. Last time I tried it, he was working on making it function on e-switch lights. It was meant to respond exactly the same as if it was used on a clicky-switch light, so the LEDs would turn off any time the button was pressed. Odd UI choice, but I guess I get why it was done that way. In any case, about all I remember is that it would kinda just fall apart in less than a minute while clicking to navigate the interface. In 5 minutes I probably ran into ~8 different failure modes, so I categorized it in my head as something to look into later after it was more developed.

But when it’s using OTSM instead of an e-switch, I’m not sure what to expect. I’m guessing it’s more solid when used that way, since that was what it had originally been meant to run on.

Just random comments, regarding Anduril version (revision number)…

I notice that although the Astrolux EC01 was released later than the Astrolux MF01S, the Anduril firmware on the EC01 doesn’t have the 2-level brightness on Lockout mode, whereas the Astrolux MF01S has it.

Lumintop FW3A uses different firmware. The first batch (like the one I have), doesn’t have the “2-level lockout”, but someone showed me an FW3A (not modified) that has 2-level lockout, which indicates it’s now using a newer Anduril revision.

I find it strange that the EC01 uses an older Anduril firmware than the MF01S, despite it being released later than the MF01S though…
(I wonder how difficult it may be to flash an updated Anduril firmware on the EC01?)

I did the firmware for the MF01S. Didn’t even know the EC01 existed until just now though. Not sure who supplied its firmware or what version it uses or how it was configured.

Technically that means its creators are in violation of the license, since the configuration and build info are part of the “corresponding source” which is required, and the link given for the EC01 doesn’t have any information about the EC01’s configuration or build. I haven’t tried to resolve that yet though, since I didn’t know about it until a moment ago. Looks like another case where people tried to follow the license but didn’t fully understand how, so I doubt it’ll be difficult to fix.

Hi Sam! Just wanted to inform you that I linked this thread in the ANDURIL USER MANUAL thread as many people were inquiring for a list of Anduril lights. Hope that is ok. Figured it was best to send them here so they could find what they were looking for. :+1:

Nice and useful lists.
One thing missing IMO is the year those lights where first made available.

Hi!

Nice idea, thank you :THUMBS-UP:

:BEER:

Good idea about the year of availability :THUMBS-UP:

Working on it ...

Some of these lights are missing Anduril features. For example, one feature I really like is the manual memory. But the Astrolux EC01 does not have it. Why do the manufacturers do this? Maybe a “Pure Anduril” notation is needed to indicate those lights that won’t leave the purchaser unpleasantly surprised.

Manual memory was added over the summer. Anything made before that won’t have it.

Also, I have no idea how the EC01 was made. I wasn’t involved at all, and don’t know what they used.

As a general guideline, if a light doesn’t have a build target in the code repository, it’s not really supported. It typically means that I wasn’t involved and whoever made it didn’t send code upstream. As long as the code is available from the distributors, it’s not a license violation… but it’s still not exactly playing nice.

In the case of the EC01, it doesn’t appear to be following the license. Banggood’s page for it has a link to the upstream source code, but I don’t see any way to get the actual code they used on the EC01 itself. So at a glance it looks like a license violation. A lot of people seem to completely misunderstand what open-source means, and break the license without realizing it. I suppose I should add that to my todo list… anyone know who was involved in making it?

OP Updated:

  • added HaikeLite HK04
  • added Meote FM1
  • removed firmware version column
  • added year of availability column instead

i would be curious about battery type, specifically AA or AAA—are there any
?

Unfortunately there are no such flashlights (yet), although there is this project going on :THUMBS-UP:
