Only because you can doesn’t mean you should do it
A BT controlled Flashlight… how often do I have a light that far away that it is easyer and faster to get my smartphone out to control the brightness?
Edit: That thing doesn’t even have a tripod thread - so the BT function is absolutely nonsense.
either way regardless of the odd name, its interesting if it uses three XP-L emitters maybe. One problem might be the heavy standby drain on the cells with the Bluetooth enabled for it to work. The only benefit i can see the bluetooth “remote control” thing use full in any way would be using it as a lantern when tail standing, or as a remote spot light mounted/duct-taped on a tripod maybe.
That is the only thing that came to my mind when I asked myself “For what?”
But… in which situation aren’t you able to get to the light but are able to get out your smartphone, open the app and press the button?
Is they would make a remote control for that (small one like for cameras) and a tripod-Thread - then this whole stuff would make a little bit of sense (even though 99,9% of buyers would never use that) - but in that case that is just pure bulls*it.
I can get the same brightness with a 30$ SkyRay Kung or a Warrior
edit@Krono: Yes, maybe - but what use does it have for me to change the light from high to low while I am 5m away?
Now…blue tooth MODE/LEVEL programming (levels and enable/disable strobes) would be AWESOME…not have to have bluetooth control and and app to have it change modes instead of using the push button
like having the ability to flash an attiny w/ bluetooth…upload whatever levels/firmware you want thru a bluetooth connection
First we have touchscreen flashlight, then IR remote controlled flashlight, now we have bluetooth programmable flashlight. What’s next? A flashlight with power bank, bluetooth speaker and phone function? oh wait…
