What about UI ? Is that a magnetic control ring I see or is it ordinary clickie in the end?
What will the settings be like? Personally I'd prefer something like:
Moon low
5%
15%
45%
75%
90%
100%
I know thats a lot of modes but in these high powered flashlights I often find that 3 or 4 modes are too little when using it for long periods of time.
Recently went on a night hike with kramer5150 with this light and the TN31. The TN31 achieved 115k lux while my prototype achieved 77k lux at the lower drive current. Hoping to break 80k and closer to 90k at the high drive current. Throwing them up on the trees at 100+ meters it was hard to tell the difference, only when side by side.
Interested Jason… Nice to see this coming full circle.
That prototype was a nice, well made light for sure. I like the price target, definitely under-cutting the TM31. Double the lux of XML lights like the HD2010, and STLV2. I think the less you can sell it for the more CPF and BLFers will rave about it.
The 3.4A Stanley fatmax, and Defiant spotlights I brought that night did about 75-78K, and they were about $80-90 builds. So youre light here takes it up a notch.
I wished for this the second I asw the TN31. Now that someone made it I kinda feel guilty…. I’m sure the guilt will leave once I have the funds to buy one
