fwiw, and imho, untwisting the head is a Bad idea because IF the button gets pressed, the light goes into factory reset, and all my personal preferences (floor, ceiling, etc) get lost.
and for me, the Aux are useful for locating the light on the nightstand, so untwisting the head when its not in my pocket would not be helpful.
For me (with orange aux) the current low mode is perfect for locating the light on my nightstand/shelf/etc. It is bright enough to see in the dark, without being distracting. With a long battery life.
High aux I currently don’t have a practical use for. It looks cool; that’s about it. If they make it dimmer, I will still not have a practical use for it. Because 4x or 5x dimmer will still be too bright for locator beacon, and the battery life will be still too short. So I don’t really care if they change it or not.
In the future I hope there is a TS10 Pro with efficient driver and RGB aux. I would pay more. If there is RGB aux then I might have stronger opinions on how bright it should be, since RGB aux has some more practical uses other than just locator beacon.
It’s a nice mod but it has no Anduril RGB functions, the LEDs were replaced with ones that automatically cycle between colors.
I would also prefer it had RGB, I really like seeing the battery level on my flashlights without having to do a clic sequence and count the flashes.
Technically the driver just needs two more pads, wires could be thinner enamelled ones instead of silicone for easier wiring, but keeping the aux LEDs on the MCPCB won’t be possible, it’ll need a second PCB for them, I don’t know if there is enough space with the optics ?
I’d solder the RGB aux LEDs directly onto a flat flex PCB with integrated flat flex cable that can be connected to the driver PCB (maybe make it longer and fold it several times after soldering). Similar techniques are already used by other flashlight manufacturers, for example Nitecore TINI tear down + emitter swap
I’d love to be able to get stock I keep checking and I just cannot buy.
If White Micro Arc is an option I’m keen to nail down at least one for myself with battery and ice blue aux.
If Brass is coming what kind of pricing?
Is there demand for a blue or purple model?
there are dozens of SKU till now with 3 color body * 2 color tint 3 aux color 2 different kit with or without battery, the stock crazy to distinguish them :person_facepalming: so i am afraid blue or purple may not in planning
Brass price still not have a quote from the factory will update here as soon as possible.
Would be nice a version with regulated driver and support for AA/14500 cell. Single Led Nichia 519A 2700k on Tir lens plus Aux multicolors Red, Orange, Aqua also for battery check.
I’ll buy for sure
