The design isn’t finished it seems, but what do you expect will the weight with battery but without clip approximately be?
I’m curious as the IF25A with 4x SST20 is too heavy (ca. 166g with battery) for me in daily use, I prefer to use the FC11 though the SST20 4000K has a nicer light colour than the LH351D.
I prefer the UI of the FC11 to Anduril btw. With the IF25A I get too often into stepped ramping or other states that I didn’t want, I will make a general suggestion of this in another post of a different UI that I’m working on which largely avoids such issues.
The programming interface should be accessible so with this light it would be possible to flash Anduril 2 or other firmware I might do that because the only thing I miss in the FC11 UI is a battery voltage check so I guess Anduril 2 will do just fine. I too get sometimes stuck in settings with Anduril, even though I know the presses sometimes I miss a click and stuff…
Low weight is for me most important but here are a few wishes:
What I miss in the IF25A is that when the battery gets low, high/turbo is then not very bright. I wondered the first time this happened “What is wrong?” And then: “Aha, battery must be low”. The indicator is still green in that case but the battery needs to be charged for full power.
So how about an indicator on the button like this:
- Off: Green, to find it in the dark
On:
green if battery at 100–30 [ = all ok ]
orange if battery at 10% - <30% [ = you need to charge soon ]
red if battery < 10% [ = you need to charge now! ]
And to colour: what about a nice gray instead of black anodising? E.g. similar to the gray as used by the Skilhunt E2A, or a colour like sandblasted titanium or sandblasted stainless steel.
And, not really serious for this project of yours, but it would be cool for a high end light, if you are thinking of making such lights: if I can wish anything: USB to not just charge but to program the light
