For me the main advantage of a 14500 based light is that it can take NiMh and alkalines.
I’ve got mine setup for auto-lockout…
jealous I am
When are you going ship my Power Dude kit?
When will you ship my Power Dude kit?
Same time as mine.

AFAIK, Sofirn is really interested in making our dreams come true. I am afraid we need to wait for the AVR-1 chips (816/1616/3216-MNR) to become available again. Maybe in June or July the supply situation will get better (fingers crossed). Once Sofirn has the chance buying a major quantity, the odds look real good that they will start manufacturing this model. There is one alternative option by using the ATtiny85 chip (which is still available but hard to get, too) but then again Sofirn would have to develop a whole new driver layout. This is an effort hard to realize (and justify in terms of development costs) at this point of time as far as I could understand.
Again, many thanks to gchart for his great and ongoing support in this project! :+1:
I hope it will come without PWM and no more sharp edges and laynard hole
This light will be awesome! cant wait til those needed chips come back to market!
Lux Perpetua, I hope all is well! I just was on another (new) thread we were both on, and .. well, i just wanted to say i hope all is well. lol. MANY thanks for all of your work around here! it is really appreciated. Especially thank you for the (official, imo) Anduril 2 chart AND the work & input on the new WT90.
Interested but only if there’s an emitter option below 4000k. Is that likely or possible?

Of course it’s possible. Sofirn has a thing for the LH351D lately. They’ve used the 2700k, 4000k, and 5000k versions in other lights. If they actually make this thing they could easily offer those options.
I bought the warm LED from Sofirn, it is very nice:

Very interested! Perhaps a pile as gifts too if the price is right.

Why I didn’t pay attention to this thread is mind boggling
Not sure I replied here… I would absolutely love this light, but choice of LED would make or break it for me. 351D with good tint in either 4000k for 5000k or even a well tinted SST20. But if standard fare 5500k + crap is used, in my mind it would be doomed, doomed I say!
I really love dual fuel lights and the AA/14500’s are king. But, many suffer from really low frequency PWM and make my head hurt. They are also the perfect size for summer and a car glove box with 1 lithium primary and a li-ion carried along.
I’m interested! One more light to add to my BLF collection
Interested!
Interested in a couple.
