Why no one doing RGB flashlights?

I never let customers or our salespeople specify RGB, it’s either RGBW or nothing. RGB-mixed white is atrocious no matter how much diffusion and gamma correction you apply. RGBW torch I could see happening but only with great optics, TIRs, lenses and reflectors have an annoying habit of splitting the light back into its constituent primary colours and it looks bad.

Even single button UI wouldn’t need to be terribly worse than present day tint ramping Andúril, you can fully control an RGBW system with three parameters:

  • hue (ramping around the colour wheel)
  • saturation (ramping between the RGB blend of max. two channels and the white channel)
  • intensity (overall brightness)

IMO Andúril could handle one extra ramp and its click combo and still remain usable just fine.

Guess what wurkkos just released:D

The Ants On A Melon RGB Critter is currently the best RGB light. Firmware updates are coming soon. There is a link to the review in my signature.

not quite what you are looking for, but nitecore has made a few.

They had the SRT9 for a bit but discontinued it.
Now they have the SRT7GT

Theres another one that I can’t seem to find, but its also not quite what you’re looking for so I guess it doesnt matter :confused:

Does anyone else have problems with the Wurkkos website? I can never get it to load, be it on PC or mobile.
Either way, whilst an RGBW flashlight is right at the very top of my ‘want,’ list, after my experiences with the TS10 (which I still really need to sort) I’ll be waiting on some steady positive feedback before taking a punt on them again - particularly with an ambitious project like this.

it's working fine for me

It's CLOUDFLARENET and it's in the USA/Canada so no trouble for me, from what I found.

You could try and win one here - link

That looks great. :+1:
