Interest collect for a new Sofirn design: tube style18650, magnetic ring control, USB-C charging, 500 lm max (AKA grandma light)

Thanks for the various comments about parasitic drain with Hall sensor (magnetic rotating ring) lights.
I checked mine and the batteries had all been sucked down to ten percent.

I’ll put the charged cells in a plastic case and rubber band that to the dive lights in the emergency cache

I still really like the simple rotating ring control for lending out. Just gotta watch the battery level closer.

I'm in for 3 pcs

In for 2!

Djozz, maybe point wurkkos to this thread and notice all the longing for a compact rotary…

I did that already, and I hope that they will report any progress in this thread.

(and a happy newyear everyone, it is 2022 here now)

I still look at my old Surefire U2 and wish there was something similar-ish made today with a modern LED and driver. It is funny though that I no longer really like tail switches at all. e-switch just has superior ergonomics. If only the U2 had had a off setting as one of the… 6? options on the ring.

Ummmm folks…

Seeknite D236

Really looks like a good starting point. Anybody want to review one?

Holy crap! Excellent find! Too bad it’s sold out and I wish they didn’t have the strobe mode. Also wonder how the driver performs.

If this moves forward I’m interested in 2

Watching this one.
I’d buy two if it specs out right…

I’ll buy at least one for sure if this works out. Rotating ring UIs are very fun and simple

Interested in 1.

I don’t see this possible at the stated target price point, but I’m in for one or two anyway.

interested in one

Still In progress?

Silence from Wurkkoss, so a dead end once again.
Anyone checked out that Seeknite yet?

Since this seems to be gaining some traction now I’m in for 1 or 2

Wait what traction?

Last post was 6 months ago about the lack of updates

See this thread: I have established two different flashlight design options for Wurkkos Grandma lights. Which one do you prefer? :wink:

Thanks

We should lock this one with your re-direct now posted
