As for emitters:
XM-L2 U2 2B/C
XM-L2 T6 3C
XM-L2 T5 4C
XM-L2 T5 5C
etcā¦
ā¦I know, FT does not have these in stockā¦

Re. you last sentence: I think that would depend on what kind of application/scenario the light was used for. A made-up example: Light is setup to illuminate an entrance way. I hack into the light, and turn off all of the 7135s. Result is ādarknessāā¦

hahahaā¦
That is a very likely scenario I must sayā¦
I cant say Im worried this would happen.
or maybe a cop will be using it, and while he is using his light to blind you at a night time traffic stop, you can dim it down to a pleasing level :cowboy_hat_face:
The reason for the plastic reflector and non-AR lens is because they found that each of those adversely effects the BT signal. Together it cripples the signal really bad.
ZY-T08 was chosen for its proven high quality plastic reflector and its proven performance as a very good thrower. It just works out best for this initial light where the main focus is on the technology more than the host itself
The next 2 models will have completely original bodies and between these three lights most all flashlight needs will be met
or 30 modes all sos and strobe
AAAAAAHHHHHH!!! My nightmare! Make it STOP!
But seriously guysā¦ the thought of bluejacking is entertaining, but the actual likelihood of it happening is probably less than being struck by lightning. We flashaholic types are an extremely small segment of society. No one else even knows such lights exist! Let alone want to bother with messing with them/us.
ah i see. that makes very much sense, and i had totally overlooked BTs usual poor signal

somehow i doubt this driver is a standard 17mm
I seriously doubt (or hope not) that a LEO would use a light like this in that kind of situationā¦ too much risk (even a little is too much) of something like what you described. I also seriously doubt that itād be approved for use in this kind of situation, as itād probably not get through any security review unless there are adequate safeguards, and just the ānormalā Bluetooth security is not āadequateā.

That makes a lot of sense actually.
So, those of you worried about being hacked, add an AR lens and alu reflector to protect yourself. Donāt forget your foil hat too!
I never got a ZY-T08 so might just do this instead, if reviews are positive.
Curious what these next two models will be. :~ Monster flooder and something more pocketable/EDC perhaps?
Actually, to conserve energy, Bluetooth is turned off most of the time. Unless you explicitly turn it on, no one is able to connect to itā¦

oh dear god man. he was totally joking.
no way in hell PDs would issue such a light! lol. no effing way.
(bluetooth security being the least of reasons why.)

You already know something about ābattery featuresā ? Low voltage warning? Voltage readable over bluetooth? Capacity readable over bluetooth?
too cheap and too bright for the government
i also seriously doubt any one will have one set up to illuminate an enterance. was just a fictional situation where blue jacking could be considered an issue
thanks fasttech, that sounds more than sufficient protection against hacking
Thanks JohnnyMac for the insight! Normal bluetooth have a range of 10m and normally do not need line of sight, unless itās a very basic bluetooth module I guess.
Andā¦ what?? The ānext 2 modelsā?! My wallet is screaming for help.

But only AR coating? Is still too much for BT signal?

Ahh. Thatās good. So how do you explicitly turn it on? Is it done from the (physical) light itself, like a specific press sequence?

Sorry if I came off being a little negative :)ā¦ FYI, I do think this light is a cool thing :)!

maybe an EDC light? ā¦
Looking forward to those!

There is low voltage protection. At 3v it will kick into moonlight mode to get you out of whatever jam you might be caught in.
