All I can see is the introduction of a point of failure, whoops droped my torch Sh the screens broken, talk about the Iphone of torches, this for me is a definite unnecessary weak point, your paying extra for something less rugged, no way would I ever own one.
I’m assuming this is a capacitive touch screen?
Would be nice if it’s infinitely variable or better yet, runs Android KitKat. 
Who is going to use that torch anyway? It will just end up on my shelves next to my other shelf queens. ;)
I emailed them 12 hours ago about a group buy for the DD4R.
Ok.. great.. now waiting for their reply..
Not Xm-l2's, XP-G. Blame a bad ebay description.
Two members of a german flashlightforum ordered a T4A. If one post a review or show some nice pictures, I will post the link in this thread, too.
I was wondering this same thing myself. I’ll have to wait for a proper test of this light before purchasing.
Yeah…that’s great and all…but can it get YouTube?
I’m with fartybum, it just seems a little too gimmiky to me, kind of cool to show off and a bit startrek looking but not something I’d like to use, anyone used a touch screen phone in the rain? it soon ends up in your pocket as the screen gets confused.
Ha, where I live, I have to go out of my way to hike in the rain. Out of thousands of backpacking miles, I've hiked fewer hours in the rain than I can count on both hands, and half of that is because I went out of the way to get the experience. The chance of me hiking in the rain while needing to use a flashlight is about as likely as a zombie apocalypse. I definitely wouldn't bring a light that huge out on long backpacking trips, and if I brought it on shorter trips or car camping, I'd probably have a couple other lights as backups. If that button on the other side controls on/off, then the light is good enough (on paper) for what I'd use a light that size for.
I live in England…….the chances of me NOT using a light in the rain are pretty slim tbh lol
I was just thinking, not being able to use a light in the rain is a dealbreaker.
Modern phones use a capacitive multi-touch type touchscreen. The lights almost certainly use a old-style resistive touch screen… immune to wet screens and don’t require bare skin to activate.
FWIW, there are capacitive touch controllers that are not affected by water. It’s anyone’s guess if this light is using one of them though.
Anyone care to take a gamble one way or another? I must say I don’t find it much of a hardship to, well y’know, just press a dammed clicky switch……
I would, but not enough money right now. Maybe next month...or for Xmas.
Was hoping to pick on up cheap off ebay, but dont look like it will happen. I would prefer a control ring anyways
I like advances in flashlight tech, and if I had the money I’d get one. I’ve never heard of the company so I have my reservations. It’s cool I’d want to try it and I’d want to show it off at work ( all the baby boomers at work would think it was amazing and Star Trek like)
I’ll wait to read a review, before I consider it. Wish it was infinitely variable 
If it passes Foy’s shower and submersion tests I’d be very interested in the smaller one.
