It’s not Lumintop, that’s enough justification imho. I own flashlights of both brands and definitely have a preference (non technical/design reasons). But I do hope this one gets a decent driver, that would be an big improvement.
My vote is PURPLE!
2nd is yellow….
3rd orange…
auxlight needs to have minimum drain; so the most efficient is the one that should be used.
I'll take a purple and an ice blue and a red!
keep it short
use a side switch or short tail switch like FW3A
do use anduril 2, or at least have it as an option
no magnets
no charging
under $40
Indeed. Under $40 for sure. Under $30 would be wonderful…
Option 3 IMO. I would definitely pay a little more to have anduril and good CRI/temperature. I also don’t really think it needs an integrated charger but I will say please make sure it has a good button. I have an FW1A that is totally useless because the button is so bad. It worked for about 3 days and then completely stopped working unless I press the button really hard and even then its only like 50/50 on if it registers a press.
The first post suggested $15.99 might be achievable for price. That sounds like a challenging price to achieve, but if it is anywhere close to that price, it will be significantly cheaper than the FWAA.
I did not see the driver architecture mentioned. The FWAA driver has 1x7135 chip + a FET channel, which seems reasonable for the size of the light. If there was any question about including the 7135 channel or keeping the cost lower, I would say the 7135 channel should be a very modest cost that is well worth the regulation and slightly better efficiency it enables at lower levels, compared to a light that runs only on a FET channel.
Purple!
Agreed. It should definitely have at least one 7135 (or comparable).
Version #2 would be awesome
That clip kills this light for me.
yes, the clip makes it look cheap. but very excited for a budget aux light, can’t wait.
oh, what i hope is $20 :person_facepalming:
Make it 25 with a great clip 
I do like a good clip. I’m usually grabbing an Olight M2R, S2R2, or M1T PLUS clip and throwing it on a light that I prefer more. With this WK10 I figured I’d just find a clip I like more if I didn’t like him. I don’t even much thought anymore.
But I mean, yeah… If we can get better clips right out the gate that would be awesome. Especially when the 21700 version comes out. That would be a bit larger and a solid deep carry clip would be a brilliant thing to start thinking about now.
With rare exceptions, I hate clips entirely and just take ’em off lights immediately, but that’s just me.
Same here, for lights and knives.
I’m probably waaaay jumping the gun here, but is there a rough time frame for when this project will have its own thread?
Having a 21700 FW style light sounds awesome! Add in an efficient driver and I’d love one. Starting to get tired of FET everything.
Definitely. FETs are so 2021. Gimme regulated b/b converters any day.
