Interest collect for a new Sofirn design: tube style18650, magnetic ring control, USB-C charging, 500 lm max (AKA grandma light)

The list in the OP hasn’t been updated since April 4. Maybe the list might be slightly more impressive with the recent interests.

Interested in 2!

I would love this light to have:

  • 90+ CRI
  • 3000K, 4000K or 5000K emitter
  • USB-C port not hidden in the threads
  • Battery indicator LED that stays always ON so the flashlight can be more easily located in the dark (tritium slot could do this job too)
  • Floody beam
  • Infinitely variable control ring would be nice if the cost of the flashlight stays budget friendly (under $30)

Interested in quite a few.
In case i did not say so before… :wink:

I would def be in for 1 at least.

I’m interested in one of the proposed lights, just to try it out.

For me, charging from a USB-C source and charging with the control ring in the off position are essential requirements. I think having to remember to tour the light on after you plug it in or only being able to use some power supplies for charging is not muggle-friendly.

If it’s well executed I would probably buy a few more to give away.

I’m interested in two.

Is this flashlight dead or what?

I hope not, but I’m not sure what the status is now. I should contact Barry about this, but on the other hand Sofirn could show some initiative too, since they already had plans for making it (but I’m sure the pandemic changed a few plans here and there). I will ask Barry.

Interested in 2 (at least) if these lights go into production. I love my Anduril hot rods, but I hate that I can’t hand them off to loved ones that need a light.

I’m just going to take that to mean it is dead since you said you would reach out to Barry over a month ago.

But I forgot to do that then, and this time I mailed him just now. So who knows…

I’d get at least 2. Great idea!

Any word back from Barry or Sofirn?

Nope :frowning:

Count me is for 2. Thank You!

Interested in at least one!

sounds cool. interested

When I feel some dedication I will update the list in the OP, I’m maybe fifty or so behind. But mind that the project is on hold as long as Sofirn does not pick it up again since communication about the grandma light stopped in January.

Interested in 1-2 lights.

If they would just add one or two lower modes to some of their diving lights I feel like it would open it to a wider market and not just for diving purposes.
