Having another look around, does the E09 have TIR optics. I hope we get a reflector version. (OR both!!!! chuck in a lens too)
Regarding Infinitely variable UI, infinitely variable is good only if the UI is simple enough to use. complicated variable UIs are worse than 3 mode simplicity. The Nitecore D10 is an AWESOME example. It has ramping, AND most importantly shortcuts to high and low, making it a really easy and actually USABLE ramping light. Cant stress that enough.
The D11 is my pet hate, it has ramping which itself is cool, but NO shortcuts to high and low, so if you turn it on, you many need to wait up to 7 seconds of ramping to get to low... = blinded, and sore thumb, IMO cool but not practical. Their shortcuts become disco modes, because we need direct access to SOS more often than low brightness....
So I would like to see the D10 UI, in a budget light with a electrical soft switch (signal level tactile switch) like in the C10A Sunwayman. Ideally also lower lows and minimal parasitic drain. But As much as I would like this, it seems that it might require a redesign of the switch mechanism, which will all cost money to develop/design and write a good UI code. Knowing what its like to get a good torch, I can see this failing badly..
Seems its unfortunately safest to stick to what we have,
Farka E09 (prettier body for that simple look)
Farka E03 (has finger grooves which I dont mind. Has newer emitter, but does it have better run time?? cant remember)
On Another note.. Can we have Xeno remake the G95 (Cant remember if im posting for a BLF light or the Ideal light lol). Regardless that was one pretty torch!!! Seriously good looking SS torch, and an extremely compact 18650 while looking good. It was a 3 mode twisty, but I wouldnt mind that given its looks and 18650 support. Theres also a G105.. Nicer battery tube, not as sure about the head lumps, would love the G95 body on the G105 tail.
