Interested in several, what ever you come up with.
For elderly mom, grandma, or clueless muggle, a wireless charge station like the Orcatorch WR10 might be cool. I leave my WR10 up at the lake cottage all summer for anyone to use. Pretty intuitive to set it back in it’s cradle when finished using it. No cable to connect, no nothing. It has the added bonus of when the power goes out (which it does too often), the light turns on in low mode, so nobody is wondering around in a pitch dark log cabin looking for a flashlight. Especially my 87yr old mother.
It would certainly add to the cost though.
It’s a grandma light. Or grandfather…. grandperson? Therefore it is likely a muggle light; hence the 500 lumens, no step-down needed. A flashaholic may appreciate the light as one he/she can give to any other person with little fear they will mess up. At least that is how I look at it.
I have loaned as simple a light as an S2 with only 4 x 7135’s and the “gramma” was confused by the type of click to turn on-off vs the momentary press needed to change brightness. This person had better luck with a two button/switch setup (Wuben TO10R) except they felt the light was too small.
Sometimes it’s hard to win at all.
We are going in a lot of directions. In good with muggle friendly and safe.
Hey, I carried a 1-mode ’502 for years, and it suited me fine. Only changed the drop-in once to try an XP-L.
1.4A. I think.
I’m in. As small as practical and as simple as possible, yes. Magnetic ring does the trick.
If a safety blinky for pedestrians is desired (and I’m not saying it’s so) then DEFINITELY make it accessed by twisting the opposite direction from normal ramping modes.
Anything else should be well hidden so that people can’t accidentally activate. Honestly we have enough lights with all the bells and whistles, this one should be for muggles.
Interested - depending on what you come up with
Interested.
Definitely interested. Put me down for 2. Seems like a really handy light. I prefer 4000k for the emitter, but agree with previous posts that it’s a good compromise.
I am also interested
Put me in. Thanks.
Quick thoughts:
You can put me down for at least 4 though at that price point.
You know, after looking at that feature list again, I’m thinking a light like this could honestly be my EDC. Maybe I’m getting old…
Interested!
I’m in for two
I am in for one.
A magnetic Tailcap would be cool an makes it for a good Muggle worker light too.
I would be in for two.
No, the exact goal need not determined, this project is not a discussion piece towards what sort of light is needed for a certain group of people, this project is making the light described in the OP
You can discuss however how to call it, a grandma light, a muggle light, a budget flashoholics light, or something else.
Interesting project. Please add me for 3. Many thanks.
Interested!
