I love my WK30 so I might have to pick one of these up. That emitter is amazing!
I would love to see Wurkos come out with a small (as small as possible) 18350 light with the LH351D emitter and smooth ramping. I’d be happy with a TIR optic to keep the size down but a reflector version would be cool too.

Looks like it might share some Sofirn genes. Specifically the SC31B.

It certainly shares one thing. The mediocre clip that is on hundreds of other lights
It looks like SC31B head with ED01/Worm ribbed body.
I hope they tweaked the UI to have faster ramping and a lower low. I never use it on the SP32 because Anduril/Narsil does it better.

Looks good. Waiting for more UI info
UI and ANSI specs supplemented.
Why designers choose “hold for off, click to cycle modes” instead of the reverse is… puzzling .

It’s like people without legs designed a bicycle for people without hands.
Technically it works, but it’s awkward and non-intuitive.

I think it might be to prevent returns from users used to lights having a single mode - not that it justifies it, just my theory.
I prefer clicking to change modes, unless in ramping mode - then I control how fast the modes change and always stop on the desired mode.
With hold to change modes, as on my Rofis R1 and R2, I sometimes have to go through the cycle a couple times to stop on the correct mode.
I do like click for off, but you can’t have click for off and click to change modes in the same single switch light.
Oh boy. I’m excited about this light.
Please tell me this is roughly the same reflector as the WK30.

I call that the “Acme Clip”

I haven’t used any Rofis lights but no light with hold-for-cycle I’ve used has been anywhere close to fast enough to overshoot what I want. I do like how fast you can cycle them with rapid taps on tail-switch lights and the dual-switch TO50R I have though.
looks great, looking forward to it .
I’d rather see the pocket clip captured by the tail cap so it CAN’T pop off.

Something other than black would be great, but I’m definitely interested in this.

Definitely needs to be clarified if the light will have hold for moonlight/low also. The standard for any e-switch light should be: hold for lowest mode, double click for highest mode, single click for memory.

That tends to be my preferred approach.
