hi everyone!
LiteFlux ETA on the LF2XT is around early May.
it will have the following features.
CREE XRE Q5 LED.
mostly likely a dual UI like the LF3XT, depending if LiteFlux can manage to squeeze in the codes for both UI into a different but very compact MCU with less memory (EPROM) than the MCU of the LF3XT.
definitely use an electronic clicky like the LF3XT.
OP reflector.
detachable clip and a keychain attachment.
natural HA III finish.
i will try to answer your questions on the LF2XT.
thanks.

by the way, should i start a pre-order thread in CPF marketplace? what do you think?

good point on the suggestion of the auto-off function giving warning before commencing shut down. i will pass it on to LiteFlux.
one more thing i forgot to mentioned, if there is sufficient MCU memory, LiteFlux may add a temporarily override command in the auto-off function.
lets say for example the auto-off function is enabled and auto-off time period is set at 3 minutes. you turn on your LF2XT and know you will need light for more than 3 minutes. so instead of pressing the button every 3 minutes when the warning is triggered, you just enter a command (e.g. 3xC) and the auto-off function is temporarily disabled. when finished using your LF2XT, click it off and put it in your pocket with your keys etc. if your LF2XT is accidentally turn on in your pocket, the auto-off function will turn off the light after 3 minutes.
also there will be a change of LED used in the LF2XT. instead of CREE XR-E Q5, it will now use CREE XP-E Q3 warm tint (5A OR 5B).
your can lock out the LF2XT by loosening the head, just like in the LF3XT & LF5XT.
thank you everyone for the auto-off time period suggestion. please keep posting your comments and suggestions as LiteFlux does read this particular LF2XT thread.

ok. some important updates on the LF2XT which i think you all have been anxiously waiting for.
1. confirmed LF2XT will have both Compact user interface (CUI) & Full user interface interface (FUI).
2. auto-off function can be turn on/off by user. time period is set at 3 minutes with overriding command. SORRY no AUTO-ON FEATURE!!!
3. user can turn on/off over-discharge protection while still in CUI. (in LF3XT, you have to go to FUI to do so)
4. user can turn on/off auto-off while in CUI.
5. battery voltage report will show to 2 decimal places (eg. 1.29V or 1.21V) giving you a more accurate picture on the battery status.
6. 4 functions can be directly access without going into a menu system. these are :-
a) momentary on/off.
b) over-discharge protection on/off.
c) memory on/off.
d) auto-off on/off.
7. the LF2XT will take alkaline, NIMH & Li-Ion 10440.
8. bezel down pocket clip & keyring wire loop, both detachable.
9. stainless steel screw-on rim surrounding the electronic clicky.
10. and, i saved the best for last, CREE XPE Q4-3C/D LED. yes! it is an XPE Q4 neutral tint LED!
right now LiteFlux has 90% of the parts required for the assembly of the LF2XT. the last missing piece is the reflector for the XPE LED. I understand the reflector is in production and samples should be available by next week. according to LiteFlux, the beam pattern is typical LiteFlux famous "ring free/hot spot merge smoothly with spill" type.
that is all for now.
khoo
How about these ones
