Thanks for the comprehensive post, and for some of the decisions you made when designing that light (more specifically, the user-replaceable batteries). A couple of questions:

  1. Is the flashlight user interface Anduril? If not, does it at least has user-accessible flashing pads and will you provide the technical details (MCU pins, etc) for a port to be made?

  2. Are these batteries standard 21700? That is, can the user just put any 21700 battery (as long as it provides sufficient CDR) in it? Or does it come in proprietary packs or something?

  3. Does the USB port have powerbank capability (ie, being able to use the flashlight to charge a USB device, eg a cellphone, in an emergency), or is it for charging the flashlight batteries only?

If the answer to these 3 questions is “yes”, then I would probably buy one – so please let me know.

#1 No Anduril. It’s a really nice simple UI. No flashing pads
#2 Yes, but nust be button tops
#3 Yes

2 Thanks

Thanks for the prompt and detailed response! :+1:

Boo… :expressionless: Really, we being already well in the 3rd decade of the 21st century, manufacturers still make lights (and expensive/sophisticated ones at that) with no Anduril nor at least the possibility of porting Anduril to it? That’ s really disappointing.

I mean, the flashing pads cost exactly zero, and an Anduril-compatible MCU (to make a port easy) costs literally pennies.

This is a major design mistake IMNSHO, and the usual excuse (‘many people don’t like/want/tolerate/understand Anduril’) is moot because they could put the same stupid Non-Anduril UI in the light anyway, and leave the Anduril porting for the enthusiasts in the community (I myself would volunteer to do the port, and for free). So the only reason for not having either Anduril nor the possibility of porting it to the light, would possibly be saving a couple of pennies in the MCU – and in the case of a $99+ light (again IMNSHO) this is inexcusable.

#2 Yes, but nust be button tops

That would not be a problem, specially since there are converters/adapters (and I already have a bunch for my Q8+);

#3 Yes

This would sound very promising if the light had Anduril and flashing pads, or at least the possibility of porting Anduril to it. As it is, this launch is going to get mentally filed to the big cylindrical archive I have standing in right there in the corner of my mind :slight_smile: (and in fact I just changed Notifications in this topic to “Normal”, so if anyone wants to tell me anything about it, please either reply to my post or directly @-tag me).

Anduril has it’s place. I personally like it, but haven’t used even 10% of the features and capabilities for adjusting things and customizing.

The issue is there’s no real demand for the limited numbers of Anduril UI lights anymore. There’s fewer buyers who want/need that level of complexity. Plus it doesn’t work with mechanical switches, so manufacturers invested in tooling for existing clicky lights would have to invest in new host designs.

A few hundred or thousand enthusiasts who might buy a Anduril equipped light doesn’t offset the production, overhead, and logistics costs. That scale goes into the hundreds of thousands needed to turn a profit.

Personally, as much as I like Anduril and see it as an extremely important fixture in flashlight history, I’d rather see companies spend money on R&D for better UIs, new LEDs, hosts, etc than retooling or designing new Anduril lights.

The days of modding a factory light to make it better are mostly behind us. Factory lights have actually gotten so good they don’t need to be modded less you really, really want a special led or driver and UI (or you buy an Amazon light).
