CardLight - powerful flashlight in a size of credit card

So where will most people carry this, in there back pocket, wallet, shirt pocket, if in the back pocket I can see it getting bent, will that kill it?

I’ve just subscribed the project in Ti version. But, as said, warm or neutral tint are attractive.

Ciao

Yes, any wireless charger will do it’s work.

Sure no :wink: Look at how it’s made video on my project page and you’ll se how steel frame of CardLight looks like.

Hi,

Sorry for more questions but:

- Will these have any modes?

- Will this work with the charger from the Olight S20R?

Offer it with high CRI LED:s in neutral tint and I’m sure you can sell quite a few to BLF members. Groupbuy anyone?

@ProjectOne. Spent too much money on lights recently….but am very interested. So, I shared it on my Facebook just to try and help a little.

Edit: additional thought/question.

I see conflicting information. Your page says “Steel” or “Titanium” available, but when you click on the “Back this Project” button the choices are Aluminum and Titanium. Which is it? (I don’t want to be a naysayer, but that doesn’t instill confidence in a possible backer/supporter).

No, the charger from the S20R is a contact based charger. It has to make electrical contact with the light.
This lights uses induction charging, that means that it wont have to make an electrical connection with the charger.
(it induction charging even works when you lift the object off of the charger but only for the first 1mm or so.)

Very polished design. Great job!

Color is not a problem. I’ve chosen cool white only because of higher outputs bin.

Yes, this is my msitake and I’ve noticed it too late ;( Can’t change anything in reward section.
Metal frame is either steel or titanium. Aluminium is too soft in such thickness. We’ve experimented with it and decided not to use.

No high CRI?

(High CRI often helps better to see details than high lumens. That is apart from getting the colors right.)

Ok, thanks (actually, the light I have is the 15R, but it wasn’t clear if the charger was an contactless charger).

What about the modes question? Does/will this light have modes (and if so what are they)?

I just saw the comments on your project’s page. So only on/off, correct?

I also saw your response about no place for additional electronics, but modes are usually implemented in the software/firmware and not in hardware? Unless you are saying this light doesn’t have any MCU and is only direct-driving the emitters directly from the battery?

Guys, it’s a very simple device: battery, leds, capacitive touch sensor and circuit for wireless charging. No processors at all.

I think that we probably “got” that now… so, you direct drive the LED emitters. Do you do any current control or limiting at all?

Sure, with resistors.

Ok, thanks!

Is there a charge indicator?

No, I prefer to keep this device as simple as possible.

$3105 raised, and still 27 days left. I’ll bet you make it.

Edit: $4749 raised, and 24 days left. Do you still think you won’t make it?
