I like the idea of a dual beam headlamp but this thing is big and heavy.
Couldn’t it be designed like an ordinary headlamp with the head part “streched” to acomodate two light sources? Imagine two H04 heads together on one tube.
SK H04 is some 45ish grams, so with longer head part the whole thing would be something like… 70ish grams?
Someone needs to TIG weld H04 and H04R heads together
Or maybe I’m just dumb and rest of you know why something like that wouldn’t work.
Tried .still hard to minus the weight, only 10 gram less main use may better as a angle flashlight, and a headband will as a part of accessories in package, i did try on my head, If it is not used for a long time, it is acceptable
He has to have it built, test it, revise it, etc. You don’t want him to just give you the first thing they turn out it takes a bit of time to iterate a good product. I’m super excited to have a company asking what we want and need in a light and allowing us to be a part of that process lets be patient with them as they take all these ideas into consideration and create something for us that can be mass produced. As Wurrkos grows I have high hopes for the enthusiast driven approach they are taking.
I‘m pretty sure they will also offer a bundle version with battery again. But let’s wait for Wurkkos to confirm. I bought a 45W USB-C PD charger and a 100W USB-C (type C-C) cable today to be able to testing both type C-C charging and reverse charging of the HD20.
This is an excerpt from the manual, showing the UI of HD20.
Thanks for your feedback so far. I agree that HD20's weight might be a bit on the high side to some people. However, there's some potential here using it as a classic tool lamp on a belt, in one's pocket or - as I prefer to wear headlamps - around one's neck, shining in front of your feet while having both hands free.
Meanwhile, I agree with AEDe that - from a point of consistency - a single click from turbo mode should normally turn off the light instead of bringing you back to the previous standard mode. Due to the hidden strobe modes (triggered by consecutive doubleclicks) some compromises were necessary here. So, the original style was adopted, i.e. one click will return to the last used standard mode and one more click will eventually turn off the light.
I hope to keep on collaborating on the improvement of future UIs with Sofirn/Wurkkos, especially in terms of dual e-switch configurations, see my concept about Wurkkos WK30S. I hope they will soon introduce multiple firefly/moonlight modes as a separate sequence, lately introduced by Manker with their MC13 and E14 III.
I hope to receiving some updates as of October 8, 2020 (when the Golden Week ends). Wurkkos HD20 and DL30 should be launched anytime soon. Currently, it may take a while until stock is released on Amazon. The pandemic slows down everything worldwide.
Looks kind of big for a headlamp, but something like this, might be really good for a general purpose mtn bike light, especially if both lights could be run at the same time.
