GearBest Giveaway for the suggestions brainstorming for the Unique features of the flashlight( winner out)

Make a budget version of this with BLF driver and thick copper heatsink.

needs moonlight mode and a copper DTP :nerd_face:
Neutral tint :beer:

Has anyone said “hidden or no strobe / sos / flashy modes” yet?
Meh, I’ll go with that.

And 1+ ToyKeeper’s Bistro firmware. On an attiny85. And must have a quality OTC capacitor.

I want a flashlight that changes color.

With successive button presses it will cycle through white, red, blue, green, red-blue alternating strobe.

It should also have a color change ramping mode where the color continually changes from one end of the spectrum to the other with the ability to stop at any color.

Any battery type would be ok, but preferably Lithium.

……And in the brainstorm category: The color-changing flashlight will have a bluetooth interface allowing smartphone control of all color features.

A flashlight that can use either AA or 18650 with very low moon mode and 1000+ lumens turbo mode.

DEDOMED!

A decent quality (reliable) inductive rechargeable flashlight.

Neutral tint and high CRI.

I would like to see a 1x18650, Nichia 219B triple in a host that is large enough so that the optics are not partially covered by the bezel. Something like an EagleEye X6 host would work.

I also like the idea of thermal management in a flashlight like this, otherwise, heat can be a problem. Bistro might be an option.

How about a built-in tripod? :wink:

High range 18650 flashlight with cree Xp-l-HI and a second TIR opctic for flood cree xp-g2 neutral.

Great idea!
+1 :beer:

A new P60 style light. Not the same size or models - more the concept:

- interchangeable bodies and heads

- a “pill” concept that has better heat conduction than previously

  • different pills with different drivers, LEDs and features

moon mode
no more than 4 modes
coppper led pcb
thick wires
usb charging

Additional reflector or spacer if want to change it to triple led. Will be great if can make it customized triple alumunium reflector otherwise triple carclo is fine.
4AA with 4S exchangeable with li-ion, e.g. Lumintop SD10.
Moonlight mode, max 5 modes, hidden strobe or using ToyKeeper Attiny 25 driver (using good components, it don’t cost too much).
Screw in mcpcb to pill, make it flat and using thermal paste, don’t solder/glue it for easier to change led later.
Neutral white led
Good anodize, like BLF Eagle Eye X6.
Good enough tail switch.

What about a motorised zoom that’s controlled by just pressing a button and holding it down to change from throw to flood?

Having that and the infinitely variable brightness would make a great light.

A full carbon fibre light would be nice but expensive, a carbon fibre finish would also look fantastic.

A small 14500 light that takes a 17mm driver, the head should be no more than 22mm in diameter.

I might be wrong and tell me if I am but it looks to me that Gearbest are after innovative idea’s and something that would really make a flashlight better and different to the thousands that are already out there so it stands out from the crowd for whatever reason.

It would appeal to everyone looking for a light and maybe just not just us lot that look for specific improvements like a copper mcpcb, certain tints, firmware etc. :-x

1. E-cig mods have display screens for navigating settings. Why not flashlights? Put it under the rubber protector that covers the usb charging port if necessary. On my ecig mod I can scroll through power with a rocker button. Why not do variable intensity that way on a flashlight? With a screen display it would be easy to customize many features. E-cig mods do this and are still low cost.

2. Provide safety venting by having vents under the rubber button covers. If the battery starts to vent the covers are pushed aside by the escaping gas.

May be these things are already being done and I don’t know about them. I’m newly interested in flashlights because I vape so using and maintaining 18650’s. So why not have a light since I’ll always have a good battery at hand.

Flashlight with led on copper mcpcb with direct thermal path and driver with good UI, battery capacity indicator.

I desire a flashlight with a large central reflector and three smaller reflectors, so as to have both the thrower and both the flood.
Then I want a USB port to charge the battery and to program the functions.

The head shape may be triangular (as in the drawing I made, just to give an idea) or even round; but triangular, surely does not roll away.

I add with the head of the flashlight round, easier to produce
