That is great news! So looking forward to buying this!

Thanks for the various comments about parasitic drain with Hall sensor (magnetic rotating ring) lights.
I checked mine and the batteries had all been sucked down to ten percent.

I’ll put the charged cells in a plastic case and rubber band that to the dive lights in the emergency cache

I still really like the simple rotating ring control for lending out. Just gotta watch the battery level closer.

I'm in for 3 pcs

bhtune · 2021-12-30T16:36:31.000Z

In for 2!

Djozz, maybe point wurkkos to this thread and notice all the longing for a compact rotary…

Which Out Of Production Flashlight(s) Should Be Resurrected? LED Flashlights – General Info

There must be a thread like this, but I haven’t seen it - So which light(s) do you think are worthy of being brought back from the dead? My vote - Nitecore D10 and EX10, with ramping. I have a lot of lights in AA and 123, some are really nice, but none I like as much as these.

djozz · 2021-12-31T23:39:28.000Z

I did that already, and I hope that they will report any progress in this thread.

(and a happy newyear everyone, it is 2022 here now)

I still look at my old Surefire U2 and wish there was something similar-ish made today with a modern LED and driver. It is funny though that I no longer really like tail switches at all. e-switch just has superior ergonomics. If only the U2 had had a off setting as one of the… 6? options on the ring.

Ummmm folks…

Seeknite D236

Really looks like a good starting point. Anybody want to review one?

Holy crap! Excellent find! Too bad it’s sold out and I wish they didn’t have the strobe mode. Also wonder how the driver performs.

Tech25 · 2022-01-02T00:12:47.000Z

If this moves forward I’m interested in 2

Jabe1 · 2022-01-08T19:58:40.000Z

Watching this one.
I’d buy two if it specs out right…

sevin7 · 2022-01-13T11:55:41.000Z

I’ll buy at least one for sure if this works out. Rotating ring UIs are very fun and simple

borealis · 2022-04-15T12:15:06.000Z

Interested in 1.

Jabe1 · 2022-04-15T19:15:51.000Z

I don’t see this possible at the stated target price point, but I’m in for one or two anyway.

ergotelis · 2022-04-15T19:54:23.000Z

interested in one

Sari33 · 2022-06-03T18:11:41.000Z

Still In progress?

djozz · 2022-06-03T21:24:47.000Z

Silence from Wurkkoss, so a dead end once again.
Anyone checked out that Seeknite yet?

G0OSE · 2022-12-30T11:55:14.000Z

Since this seems to be gaining some traction now I’m in for 1 or 2

See this thread: I have established two different flashlight design options for Wurkkos Grandma lights. Which one do you prefer?
