The upcoming Liteflux LF2XT

[victor01]

As being pointed out by zz6557 in this thread I've been made aware that Liteflux is soon to release its' new series of it's aaa light, the Liteflux LF2XT. You could also find the teaser photo at the litefllux site . However, no further details have been released yet. My speculation is a programmable clicky aaa. How fascinating this is going to be.

Edit

it was Beacon of Light who actually first mentioned about the Litefllux LF2XT first, I didn't look carefully enough.

Quoted from LED Cool from post #43

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.
khoo

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

And later followed up by LED Cool

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!!!
:ohgeez:
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.

How about these ones :D

knurlings! Hoho.... :D
Looks like a twisty to me though. :thinking:

 

[Toaster]

Interesting. Hope they came out with a decent keychain attachment this time around.

 

[Kilovolt]

Ah!

:drool:

"R2's out of stock; using Q5's instead." Boo, hiss. Yeah, I know you can't tell the difference except barely, MAYBE, if you have the two in front of you at the same time to A-B, but What. The. Heck. Dealextreme and Kaidomain have R2's. I just got 10 R2 WG's mounted on stars from DX, and I'm nobody.

Weird, I thought I pointed out that there was a LF2XT in post #16 (a full 12 posts before the guy you gave credit to...) of same thread and got accosted as being an idiot for saying that? lol

Maybe low vf R2's are not available. Need a nice low vf to take advantage of the reducent current available from AAA's, even NiMh and primary Lithium cells. Arc Mania no doubt used low vf Q5's in his Extreme III Q5 run, and most certainly in his Rebel run.

oh man....my lf2x is totally trashed..ano missing here and there cos i never thought i would wnat to sell it

Crenshaw

 

[litetube]

Then dont sell it. Give it away :party:

then You have an excuse to get a new one. And you would make a financially strained CPF'r a happy dude. Maybe even make a stipulation it has to be a budding flashaholic so noone over the age of 17 and make them write an essay about why they like flashlights . Best one gets the light.

Sorry for missing that bro :ooo:

Glad I held off on the LF2X (did end up getting an L0D). Hope they don't tease us for too long. I'll be checking LiteFlux and Eliteled daily. I really thought there'd be some similar programmable AAA from Fenix by now.

I also did held off on the LF2X. Actually the LF2X was announced just after I've purchased the LF2 XRE which I'm still using it almost daily.

 

[ruriimasu]

NO!!!!!!!! ... if its like the lf3xt. i just ordered an EZAA! :ohgeez::broke:

 

[Raindog-]

I'm between fun and surprised... with how this guys from Liteflux handle his marketing. Is perfect, without saying anything, they just put a small picture without further explanation on their website, and we make all the work , speculations, wishes... . It's very smart. :naughty:

Well, we must wait. :popcorn:

Beacon I am sorry if you have taken my remark in the wrong way, I meant well and I was just trying to shed some light on the matter.

Yes you were right, the LF2XT does exist: can you ever forgive me? :bow:

:thumbsup:

Hahaha never! j/k

Ironically, I finally got in touch with Khoo (LEDCOOL) and ordered a LF2 CREE today for $45 shipped. I'll probably get the new LF2XT as well once the specs are released.

This LED flashlight addiction is getting bad. At least it is a better addiction than smoking, since I just quit. :D

 

[regulator]

Looks kinda big. I do really like the 2FX. Will wait to see more info. Thanks all.

 

[juplin]

[Zeruel]

:eek: Clicky! I want!

Wait, let me amend that...
AAA Clicky! I want!

No wait....
AAA Clicky with clip! I want!
