Hi Guys, Wurkkos will have a new products soon—————-
L sharp 21700 headlamp named HD20, here is the design, with 2 LEDs, realize both floodlight and throwing in one flashlight.
still not sure about the tint for each LED, planning 4000k or 5000K for floodlight and 6000-6500K for throw.
Floodlight use LH351D 4000K or 5000K
Throw mainlight will use SST20 5000K (give up the 6500k )
With magnet tail and USB-C charge port ( input and output )
will update the UI soon
Fortunately, the weight is not too heavy after test the first sample batch, 160 gram with 21700 battery included. probably will try different
color for body…
I would use something like 4000-5000K for both LEDs - especially if you have a mode where both throw and flood are on at the same time, having them match would be nice.
1. ~100g empty? That’s way too much.
2. General purpose flood should not have 180 degrees, you still need some collimation. With a TIR this small in LH351D it won’t be far from a mule.
3000k-4000k for flood, 4000k for throw is my preference.
Also, it looks like it will be quite heavy on the head side. Dual emitter headlamps look and function a lot better when they’re centred.
It’s difficult to compare the weight of a flashlight with different battery and less features. Zebralight H600 doesn’t have dual led, magnet, USB charging and 21700 battery.
Stuff like this makes me wish that Wurkkos had a website. Though if someone from Wurkkos does read this: I know you are close with Sofirn but please don’t use whoever did Sofirn’s website.
Yep, looks a bit heavy for a headlamp, but I’d certainly use it as a right-angle flashlight.
As mentioned, it’s best to have both flood/throw match. You don’t want something lit up blue at a distance, then be lit yellower as you get closer.
And yes yes yes to that mount. I hate plastic C-clip holders, because they can snap, and the light often pulls out way too easily.
Rubber-loop mounts are the best. Easy to use, the light doesn’t fall out accidentally, and stays in place with the rubbery grip vs hard slippery plastic.
The smart thing to do for this would be to build ok the tint-ramping firmware Sofirn used in the LT1 and that one flashlight, there’s not much reason for it to be different.
Would be a nice added feature if double tapping for turbo always went to full throw or full both emitters.
6500K - please forget about such led! 4000-5000K and the same CCT for both led.
21700 why? 21700 good for EDC , pocket-roket… but not for 1000lm range L-shaped hadlamp. with 18650 you can get good weight and dimensions it is one of the most important things for headlamp!
Don’t try to make ‘laser’ from throw. Pay attention to shape of spot.
Design looks good but I not sure that it is convenient to use headlamp with big center of mass offset.
The features don’t change how to feels on you head. 160g is heavy for a headlamp. If I’m wearing a headlamp for a long period of time without a beanie hat to give padding, even 18650 Zebras get to be painful.
If this light aims to be a headlamp, the weight needs to come down some way. If the features stay the same marketing more as simply a right-angle handheld makes more sense to me personally.
The mock ups really do look great though, this could be a great light with the right UI.
* hmm the blue color seems is not the one we need as the design
