LED Flashlights – General Info

Awesome news Matt!
My first thought was “Holly hell!! He’s bringing Gatlight back!!”. I remember playing with those at CPF meets and night hikes around ~2007 time frame. IIRC they weren’t 240 OTF though, and most certainly not that when you factor in the heat from extended time duration. Good times!! We had calibrated initegratinig spheres at those meets where I learned NONE of my lights were really all that I thought they were… including my malkoff M60 / 6P.

Good Luck with the new company. I have no idea who owns the copyright on “Adventure flashlight”… my guess would be Ozark Trail (walmart company brand).

Comic sans. Definitely Comic sans.

12

Interesting reflector design, half OP and half smooth.

13

Woo-hoo, how exciting, Matt! I have to say, when you were showing the UI I was kind of thinking “meh” until you got to the ramping, which I really like!

If you ever roll out a good rotary switch, that would be great too. But I’m sure you want to keep the investment manageable for a while. May your endeavor be blessed!

Congrats Matt and you have my full support.
Just list them up and the orders will come.

Really like that they are not going to be 13 ways to Zenith with the programable modes.
KISS all the way!

Later,
Keith

Good luck. If the price is reasonable I’ll be buying a few.

Yep haven’t seen that in a while. Some XRE lights had that eons ago, in an effort to diffuse the “cree rings” white wall hunting.

17

These had them, have the Coffee color and a black one;

Love the name, hopefully you’ll add an enthusiast flashlight model soon as well!

19

Is it affective?

20

Looks very interesting! :). Are you planning any international sales or just the US?

21

Congrats, Matt. Good brand, let’s see some nifty videos going forward.
Thanks for letting us know.

22

my fave ASF vids are the ones with Matt dancing around outside in the light beams

23

I dont’ recall, that was a long time ago. To be perfectly honest I never really found the ringy XRE beam pattern all that troublesome. Many people did however, so there was never a shortage of both smooth and OP reflector options.

24

Exciting!

25

Thanks! :innocent:

26

no problem… I corrected my commentary above though.

27

Yes Please!

Thanks Matt, always enjoy your videos and found the history lesson along with your quest for an available trademark interesting.

I have nothing against simple interfaces, but the behavior of "immediately after turning ON, one click for Low, two clicks for High" does not seem ideal compared to something more like this if possible:

One Click from OFF for Normal Brightness
Press and Hold from OFF for Minimum Brightness
Double Click from OFF for Maximum Brightness
Press and Hold while ON for Ramping Brightness
One Click while ON to turn OFF

I believe this is preferable, because from OFF, you can directly access your desired brightness level and then fine tune it with ramping if required.

Good luck, Matt, and keep up the good work and the Good Word!
