Seriously, put on your spouse’s eyeglasses and a pair of welding gloves, and see how easy it is to use the device.
We’re all in denial about what abilities we’re going to lose as we age.

Interested for 2 units.
In for one depending on emitter options.
One of my critical features for a muggle light is a battery level indicator. Then they won’t just leave it on charge all the time. Is there any plan for aux LEDs, or some other battery indicator in this light?
A minimalistic low battery indicator makes sense for this light, people are used to such indicators already and they are very helpful.
Something like a tiny led near the charging port: off when battery level is sufficient, red blinking when battery is low and charging is adviced, red when charging, green when fully charged.
I put it on the wishlist.
In..for at least 1
Just worried about parasitic drain and the 'easyness' to open and 'replace' the battery.
I am in for one please
An idea for a battery condition /charging indicator….
When the light is turned on….
Blue light constant on (Turned off after 5s) = Battery 100~85
Blue light flashes (Turned off after 5s) = Battery 85~41
Red light constant on (Turned off after 5s) = Battery 40~16
Red light flashes all the time the light is turned on = Power less than 15%
When USB is plugged in, a constant red indicates charging taking place
When USB is plugged in, a constant blue indicates charge is complete
Sub green for blue if desired

Sounds wonderful for my own lights, but is confusing without a manual. Hence the simple red/green indicator that I described above, even without manual most will have an idea what is going on.
Interested
interested for the magnetic ring! please add me to the list!

So true. Have to be able to use it without a user guide. So few things are made like that these days. Have to keep it simple for grandpa. Wait a minute I am one @73.5 …… (most days I don’t think I feel that age, but I’ve never been this old before, so am not sure)
In for 2
Interested.
Interested - sounds Good.
We passed the 100, so 10% of the needed interest is met in little more than 1 day. I’m happy about that. Lots more needed but I feel that I can already show Sofirn that this light has potential.
interested!!

Over on TLF there ist also a survey based on this Thread here.
It seems there is also a large demand on such a ´grandmas light´
“Sofirn AKA grandma light - TLF Interessenten Abfrage | Taschenlampen Forum
At the moment there is a demand on nearly 50
Make sure it doesn’t have to require having the light turned on for the USB charging to work.
I have a couple of lights with that requirement and they’re quite confusing to new users.
In for at least 5. I’m liking the concept. I would also like another same design but for the blfers, more lumens. Haha
