Is it a good idea? With wear in time, would this spin so well like a freewheel? ie. the ring moves unintentionally by the vibrations. And causing the light to flicker as a result. The other consequence could be the ring will be set in any random position each time you use it? Because the wheel will likely spin if it rests in a moving space like a car or backpack.
Beside that, this project is wonderful. Would you be OK to add a headlight version (90° angle)?
A fairly compact right angle headlamp with an infinitely variable control ring on the end would be awesome! Especially if it had a nice low low (.2 lumen) and a strong detent at off so you didnt have to lock it out when not in use.
I’d be up for at least 4.
I'm in for 4. Probably will buy more if the light lives up to expectations, especially if there's some colors other than solid black or gray available.
Dos por moi, gratzi
Infinitely variable brightness is a good idea I feel. If the charging port is sound, and the ring is infinitely variable I'm definitely interested.
I’m in for 1
Two for me please.
Infinitely variable is not a promised feature yet, but I still added you to the list as at least interested 
The interest list is now at 268, and with still 153 from TLF the total is 421 flashlights.
Barry mailed me a week ago that he had missed my mail from january in which I sent a first suggestion-drawing of how the light structurally could be made, but that he passed it on to Sofirn’s engineers. I’m not sure when we will get an update under the current circumstances, I patiently wait for things to happen.
Can I get on the list for 3 please?
Thank you!
I’d likely take 2.
In for 1. thanks
In for 3 please.
I’m in! One or two lights sure
In for 1 if it it is infinitely variable, starts at a moonlight level.
Infinitely variable magnetic ring and NW? Hell yeah I’m in for 2 please!
Djozz: thanks for this great initiative!
I am interested in 2 units.
I have no idea about the current status of the project. I know that Barry is working and he posts on BLF every now and then, but how the design plans of Sofirn have changed because of the crisis I have no idea. I guess I need to mail Barry.
In for 1!
My first light was a Sunwayman V11R - still one of my favorites but I’ve grown away from the cool white LED.
Like others have mentioned before, as long as it’s packed well with certain types of grease the ring won’t really loosen up too bad and can always be repacked.
Both my grandmothers have passed . Can I still get one ?
