I’m interested in at least a couple! (Just in case my initial response was ambiguous.)
This seems like a great inexpensive camping light for gifting, and I’d really like to see this project happen!
I’d like to see Sofirn come out with an AA headlamp as well - but in this case, they’re constrained by using the existing D25 as a base.
(If they were working from scratch, it’d take a lot more time and expected sales to get that project going.)
Skilhunt offer both reflector and TIR versions of the H04 and presumably they sell a lot of the TIR version. An SP40 with a floody TIR would make for an even better headlamp in my opinion. For the record I use my SP40 almost daily but I cut out a circle of diffusion material and sticky taped it to the lens to make the beam more floody. I couldn’t remove the bezel to see if one of my TIR optics meant for a Convoy S2+ would fit.
It’s nice to hear that such a light is in the works!
That’s something I’d be very interested in, please update us when that project has progressed along further.
I did try to use TIR optics for Convoy S2+ on the SP40, produces a nicer (to me) floody beam (assuming for indoors/near use).
Although the S2+ TIR optics is a bit too “high” so I had to sand the TIR optics (bottom part) a bit, so the SP40 bezel can be screwed back properly.
I could never get the bezel to budge until I got hold of a circlip plier. A case of needing the right tool for the right job. Now that I got it removed I did the same mod. I applied some silver paint to the inner chamber (with a silver Sharpie) which may help reflect light out the front. Not sure if the efficiency is any better than a reflector + diffuser setup as I don’t have test equipment, but at least the mod is performed and I can always switch back.
