I so much prefer long press off to long press on……

XP-G3 with TIR is OK

I have 3 lights with XP-G3. One with TIR and 2 without. All 3, (to me), have great tints. CW bordering on NW and no green or blue.

I’m with the majority here. Longer press on than off to avoid accidental activation when carrying. But to each their own!

Hum, I have the Wuben TO10R with XP-G3 (CW, 70 CRI or so) and the Wuben TO46R with XP-G3 (NW, 90 CRI) and both have a major tint shift (towards green).
Only way to fix both was to put some DC-Fix and other kind of diffuser, because even outdoor it was very noticeable that annoying shift (mostly on the TO10R) ! So NW XPL-HI, for example, would be better.

But, to each, its own! About the long presses…if possible, none! But I don’t like long press for ON.
In a urgency, I prefer to have it ready to turn ON!

For this RovyVon, I would prefer not to have the long press; a switch to turn ON and another to change modes would be good, then!

Interesting. I’m very susceptible to ANY green or blue tints in any of my lights but I must have won the lottery because none of mine have any.

I actually prefer full on CW without a hint of blue or green and these XPG-G3 lights have none of that. I’m actually very pleased with my 2 RovyVon light tints with XPG-G3 emitters!

Geuzzz:

Long press for off :person_facepalming: ,nice light though.

The top button is quick access for off no matter the mode the light is on, one click to turn the light off.

I’m not really looking for “OK” in a $70 flashlight when we have such an amazing selection of high CRI options available now. However, they have confirmed a 219C version will be coming a couple weeks after the XP-G3 is released. Long press for off is still cancer :confounded:

The top switch is an easy way to turn off the light, no long press.

That’s awesome. Since you are here, could you answer whether the light is glued shut? Also, would you consider any high CRI LEDs instead of Nichia 219C, like Samsung LH351D, Luminus SST-20-W, etc.?

The light is screw sealed, you can open it by unscrewing the screws (NOT recommended). And currently, we may not consider other high CRI LEDs like Samsung etc as we do not have a source for these kinds of emitters.

Hi RovyVon!
Welcome to BLF! It is good to have another manufacturer here with us :partying_face:

I guess that my e-mail to you about this flashlight, some days ago (no answer yet, but no problem), must have prompted you to join us! So welcome and enjoy!!

And I hope you can receive the community’s input for your flashlight(s)

Looking to your comments above, I guess we all perceive now that there is not needed a long press for OFF if we used the top button! Nice feature!!

And yes, if using the top button, no need to long press to turn off (except strobe and SOS mode).

It's good to have you here, RovyVon!

MascaratumB · 2018-11-07T12:00:21.000Z

So, people, in conversation with RovyVon I suggested to eventually create a groupbuy for this flashlight if the people here are interested.

What do you think about that? The conditions for it are not defined, so if people are interested in the flashlight, post it here and also some suggestions to run the GB.

RovyVon will probably see the thread (if not I will keep them updated), and then if there is interest, maybe the GB can advance :+1:

Let us know what you think :exclamation:

X31 · 2018-11-07T13:13:06.000Z

It sure does look different, and I’d love something with that form factor (pocket carry could be easier than a tube light) but with an improved UI and of course some different emitter (though it doesn’t look too complicated to tear it open and swap them)

Hello RovyVon ,
I am a mount biker and always seeking for a sec bike light with a 350 Lum constant output for min 1hr .in a flood light
It will be the best rather than the preset you have at 250Lum output .
I sure will order one if I can get this change in the program software .
Your light has a very high quality manufacture ,like it the form!!!
Please make it the change if u can .
Thanks for taking in our input.
update ,2018 11 26
just order one … will see how it perform

With the current UI, you can get a 350 lumen constant output for an hour, you could adjust the output to the brightness you need from 60 lumens to 2000 lumens through the infinite adjustment mode.
