You guys have to remember that this light is aimed at around 20USD.
RGB aux cost more and need more space. RGB literally means 3x LED and resistors and what not on the board to make them work.
You have to frankly come to terms with the fact that because of cost and space issues Wurkkos will most likely just produce one AUX colour for the whole batch. So choose wisely
I doubt it would make much difference in cost really.
And I would guess that managing several SKUs would actually cost more.
Is the reason because you’re using a SOIC-8 Attiny85 ? (not enough pins for FET+7135 and RGB), if that’s the case then use a QFN-20 package, or you could even go Attiny1616 which has several advantages : it’s cheaper, has a factory calibrated temperature sensor, UDPI (only 3 pads needed for flashing, especially practical in the case of a small diameter driver here) and plenty enough pins for RGB. Sofirn sourced them for the SP10S Pro so I assume that wurkkos can too.

I’d love to see multiple colours available like in the original run of the E07. I think they had red, ice blue, purple and yellow? Something like that would be excellent. More often than not I’d prefer one colour rather than loads to choose from. I only mess around with my D4V2’s aux lights (and previously D4SV2’s) because they’re there. If they weren’t it wouldn’t be a big deal, ya know?
I chose YELLOW, though all of them look great. except Ice Blue, i am just not a fan. too bright not saturated enough.
I would be happy with Yellow, Orange, Red, or Blue / Purple.
through a couple of new FireFlies i have received, i honestly would rather have a nicely colored single aux more than RGB. I have gotten orange and yellow recently and they look MUCH better than the "orange" of any of my RGB setups, giving the light a more customized feel and look!
I diddnt know it would be bad for your eyes.
You mean for retaining night vision?
I thought it might be better than red for that.
If you were to look directly at the aux lights in total darkness I mean.
Its not like its an actual UV light is it?
Iv read here that UV lights are not great for your eyes.
I appreciate aux lighting being added on more lights and as such appreciate Wurkkos adding aux light. However, in my particular case I have no interest in 14500 lights. Are there plans to add aux lighting to more of your larger lights?
