That's all , waiting for more information about LF2 .

Cool

Would be ammusing if someone made a flashlight "emulator" in java or flash... compare the different UI hehe

Thanks for the info. Keep us updated!

Interesting. I like the LF1 so will keep a close eye on this new LF2.

So finally the Chinese manufacturers are implementing features that have been around since the FluPic boards n other customs.

Full scale adjustability seems to be taking on the Titan.
Jus curious, what's the use of battery report?
But since there arent even an rendered pics of it, its still vaporware. Probably caching in on the popularity of the Titan's infinite adjustiblity and other Fenix/Jetbeam functions.

One last thing, the manual that comes with it better not be babel translated!

Hopefully they catch on to the finish and durability of Jetbeam while they're at it (I've read on another thread that the finish isn't xactly up to par with fenix or the other lights)

Uh oh. This is potentially huge.

I had the Liteflux LF1. The finish was definitely on par if not better than Fenix.
Machining was slightly thicker, and the anodizing was a matte type which i personally prefer over the Fenix which is smooth.

My LF1 has been my EDC for several months now. It still looks about like it did when I took it out of the box. I use it every single day, and the reason it's remained my EDC for so long is because of the normal clickie and high/low levels.

I personally can't wait for the LF2 Cree! I've been holding out on other Cree AA lights to see what LiteFlux has possibly up their sleeve.

wow... looks like there will be a cr123 version (lf3).. cool.

I have an LF1 and a Fenix L1T. The LF1 was the one that got regular use, before I gave it to my dad. The L1T felt better and more robust, and in particular the clickie felt much higher quality. But the LF1's interface and features were so much better (lower low, much whiter high, candle mode, ability to go into low mode but soft press into high) that it ended up being the one I always reached for. Buy one light, and you'll find a way to "put up" with the UI; buy two, and you'll stop carrying the more cumbersome one pretty quickly.

Cat got your tongue?

We want details!! ASAP!!


:candle:

Oh gosh.

I want one, bad. In AAA and AA. I was going to swoop in on a LOD CE, but this just looks insane!

The influx of new lights with advanced UI, like this or the upcoming rexlight, is quite amazing.

I guess the single or dual mode lights will have to be relegated the the cheapies...

Any more news on this one? LEDcool... please spill the beans!

+1

A programmable AAA light with a choice between a SSC P4 or Cree XRE? Also the ability to manually vary the output when needed? :thumbsup: If so, my FF3 is off my keychain and will be replaced with the LF2.

Let us know when the pre-order opens up!

If this is a AAA light with a clicky and all of those features, I'm definately signing on for the P4 version (depending on price). Clicky AAA lights are still an untapped sector of the market, and with the new efficiencies of these LEDs, single AAA lights are more viable than ever, and are much easier to discretely carry. I'll be watching this thread .

I bought the LF1 and liked it so much that I bought my wife one as well as one for my friend as a wedding present. It has been hard waiting for a cree based Liteflux, but it looks like the wait has been worth it. I will definately buy a few of these when they become available. I hope Liteflux ends up building a protected 18650 light someday. I also hope the LF2 dosen't need to be modded to run a protected 14500 like the LF1.
