I would be interested as well.

I’m interested in 2 if I haven’t said so already. My grandmother just experienced a power outage and I’m having a real tough time finding a decent quality flashlight for her taking her needs into account (and working with arthritic hands, vision, and lack of affinity for adapting to new tech). I want to get her an LT1 but I’m waiting for Anduril 2.0 or a simpler UI.
I always feel like an 18650 light should also be able to take 2X CR123, like the Sofirn SP31. In a power outage you can put in new batteries; you cannot recharge a battery (barring powerbanks) so unless you have extra 18650s around you basically have a proprietary cell. But bad things can happen with accidentally charging primaries, so I understand it’s too much to ask for USB and cr123 compatibility.
Looking forward to this light anyway.
Interested in one.
Interested in three right now
Interested in 2
Interested 1,hope with smooth knurling and design
interested in one
Curious where this project stands these days… any word from Sofirn?

Basically not different from februari: after chinese newyear Sofirn started with a new “structural engineer” for whom this was to be the first project. Then came COVID19 and everything was down for a while, then Sofirn was back communicating (some smaller new projects went ahead, i.e. the red C01R) but no news for this light. Maybe the numbers on the list are not impressive enough to justify the work on this new light.
I’m not in a habit of bugging Barry (who is my contact at Sofirn) every week, and in fact the long delay did not help me for staying focused on this, but I will mail Barry once more and ask for a status update.
The list in the OP hasn’t been updated since April 4. Maybe the list might be slightly more impressive with the recent interests.
Interested in 2!
I would love this light to have:
- 90+ CRI
- 3000K, 4000K or 5000K emitter
- USB-C port not hidden in the threads
- Battery indicator LED that stays always ON so the flashlight can be more easily located in the dark (tritium slot could do this job too)
- Floody beam
- Infinitely variable control ring would be nice if the cost of the flashlight stays budget friendly (under $30)
Interested in quite a few.
In case i did not say so before… 
I would def be in for 1 at least.
I’m interested in one of the proposed lights, just to try it out.
For me, charging from a USB-C source and charging with the control ring in the off position are essential requirements. I think having to remember to tour the light on after you plug it in or only being able to use some power supplies for charging is not muggle-friendly.
If it’s well executed I would probably buy a few more to give away.
I’m interested in two.
Is this flashlight dead or what?
