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!
Love this 100 horses pulling in 100 directions discussions on BLF.
Until someone like TK comes along and tries to pour all that loose sand through a siff.
(and gets blamed that only 99 horses were satisfied).
I would like you to consider: we are not grandma.
- We’re still flashaholics who try to decide what’s best for grandma.
- Most of us are creative (wo)men with only one thumb on every hand.
- If you wear glasses: put them off.
- If you don’t wear glasses: put your wife’s glasses on.
- Put on some leather gloves.
My personal opinion is that a ring is a 2-handed thing. A slide is not.
A ring cannot be locked out. A slide can, just push it beyond a certain limit.
A magnet comes in handy. But make it removable when you find grannie stuck to the fridge.
Ano is good. Visibility is better. Give it a distinct business end. And a striking color.
For the last aspect (and falling) you can include a rubber cover. The usual pink or blue.
And safety orange for those who are still contemplating their gender.
To be ignored: I was thinking about a 2 (big) button UI.
Button 1 = on and up
Button 2 = down and off
Just my 2¼c.
EDIT: and put me on the list for one. By the time it is finished I’ll be in my seventies.
Djozz, I’ll take one!
Sounds like a compact and simple light.
Just a suggestion, make the Ring of stainless steel and make it a nice contrasting color like bare SS or a nice blue.
That’ll make it easier to understand that it’s the control ring.
Many requests for a contrasting ring colour, it sounds useful, very doable without adding cost, and gives a nice accent to the design. I will try to get that added
Your and other’s many suggestions are noted.
I can promise that the ring, like my 3 other lights with magnetic ring are easily operated with one hand.
When is your birthday Henk?, so I can slow down the process to make sure you are 70 when it is done.
