K2 adopts the same concept and form factor but it is not 1-to-1 clone imo. If you look on the bright side, healthy competition could bring out people's creativity, and produce more innovative products to meet our ever growing demand for powerful flashlights.
It’s interesting to see Astrolux doing a light like that.
I’m not into colour side LEDs (or UV for that matter) but ultra-high-cri ones at that place would be interesting.
Same could be said about pretty much any flashlight design…. I mean the generic tailswitch with side mode button pretty sure every company has a light with such a design……
Each version gets a little better ...and then does something worse .Forward three steps and backward 2 . The upside to rovy von being expensive was maybe they'd get it right some day . But screwing around with XPG-3 emitters, PWM and not low enough moon modes means the competition will soon catch up.
I would feel sad about it but I’ve had horrific luck with my RovyVon flashlights. I’ve had 3 of them and 2 have lasted only a couple months before they stopped charging. I did get one swapped out under warranty but the replacement similarly failed. I could swap them out again but in the end due to their unreliability I’ve just stopped using them altogether.
To be fair, I don’t know if the clones are any better. I just picked up a jetbeam as a replacement and I’ll see how it lasts. Hopefully it’s not just an issue inherent to these tiny batteries.
