Oh, that is interesting about light painting needing a tail switch. Maybe what we really want is a remote controlled light? There are lots of lights with remotes these days. It would be great to have one with Anduril. Here is a Fenix remote switch that seems to replace the tailcap on some of their lights:
I guess for a side switch design there could just be a switch port on the side as well. I’d be supportive of this, especially with the t1616 processor, since it could be used for other stuff too, such as configuring or reprogramming the light.
Some light painters use remote pressure switches (notably Klarus, Nitecore, and Olight), and again they need to be connected to the tail as the head of the light is in the adaptor/connector and inaccessible. RF remotes are more of an annoyance than a help and only really useful in RGB lights. Personally I like the momentary mode on Anduril, as it allows fine control of on/off. My buying guide to flashlights for light painting is in my signature.
Very true. The only Zebralight that has interested me is the FC700D as it can sustain 1500 high CRI lumens, so great for backlighting, however they don’t sell it in Australia. So I’ll just stick with my Q8!
I want to try Emissar, and it is unclear on intl-outdoor.com whether d4v2 comes with anduril 2 by default or i should by flashing kit to update it myself?
Have you looked at Shockli and Vapcell’s crazy top of the line 1000mah high current cells? Those are real beasts!!! They can push harder than NCR18650GA. It’s been my dream to have a 14500 light that can actually take advantage of these two cells. The FWAA can utilize the power of this but it has other problems.
