@lemmy.worldCould they possibly do an anduril version of the Sofirn SC13? Or revive the LT1 Mini? Either would be nice.
That would be a question to Sofirn and not Wurkkos. Although made in the same factory, they are different companies (more or less).
Hard to say, lol. The driver isn't potted and a hard impact might damage the inductor of the boost driver or other parts of it. The glass can shatter, the aluminum deform. You can destroy any light with enough force. But for normal use it should be good enough.
The protection circuit of a cylindrical Li-Ion battery doesn't report anything. All it can do is to interrupt the circuit if the current gets too high or the voltage too low.
You might mix this up with tool batteries that usually have multiple cells in a series and in parallel, monitored by a battery management system (BMS).
Most quality flashlights have an integrated low voltage protection. The protection PCB will only protect the battery when it's handled outside of the flashlight, but it will usually reduce the performance and efficiency due to the added resistance.
You mean Li-ion with integrated step-down converter? They usually require their own special "charger", there's no universal standard.
Stubby lights are often hard to hold. This design feels surprisingly secure in your hand. The wait really helps a lot.
It will run higher right after turn on for a few minutes. That's pretty good for a turbo mode. Many flashlights hold their maximum brightness for only a few seconds.
Usually I have my eyes closed during showering (without glasses I wouldn't see much anyway). So not much light needed.
