I would vote black also for the tube only, just to match the head. For a new flashlight, colors are a nice option! The new L7 and 26800 is actually kind of exciting.
I understand what you mean about ramping being an odd choice for throwers (I have a crescendo UI on a thrower that seems a bit unwieldy to manage at times).
But isn’t the beauty of Anduril that you can easily configure it to a stepped interface with exactly how many steps you want? And further more, with the exposed header pads, it’s not too difficult to flash almost any crazy UI setup you like. I’m a fan of this!
Well, Simon you have the same battery as I have. I like the look of that L7. Please consider a matching 26800 extension for it. Those cells were meant for that kind of Beast.
wow! the L7 looks GREAT! i love the knurling on the battery tube, reminds me of the knurling i really like on the EA01 & FT02s.
I will definitely be buying the L7, glad i have held off on the the 4x18a version. for now at least. i will probably buy both eventually, but definitely the L7 first! great work Simon!
And, i dont mind the ramping. I like anduril and narsil on my throwers, mostly for the options and battery check. Anduril is nice because i set my K1's to stepped mode only, and 5 steps with ranging from 10/150 - 149/150, it is actually really convenient along with a simple battery check and lockout. I wouldn't think id like it, but i have gotten very used to it. I also like the ability to manipulate the heat management.
I find the ramping on my M21c-u slow to get going then really fast & difficult to stop where you want it. Slower ramping I think would work better. Good light though with an XHP70.2 3000k, really nice soft tint.
