Just clicked on the ad over at the MarketPlace out of curiosity last night and decided to make a thread so we could discuss them, whether they bring anything new to the market or not.
The Orbita line of lights is from the famous maker of watchwinders of all things, and now they want to add flashlights.
Apparently all their lights are 18650, which is nice and uniform, and have 1000 lumen high level advertised in the old 5 level UI of High > Medium > Low > Strobe > SOS.
Don't care for their outdated UI personally, although it may still be what some of the general public thinks of as a good range of options.
They appear to be mostly designed for upwardly mobile individuals who have finally addressed the importance of having a light, but need it to be something with a higher level of 'class' than they would otherwise find on the store shelves.
Definitely not for me, or at least that's my first impression, but still worth having a thread where we can talk about them in a civilized manner.
They have what appears to be a flagship line called the Goldlight series, a somewhat unique, if not reminiscent of another light from the not too distant past, Lighthouse series and finally the Slimline series.
I doubt there will be much interest in these but it would be compelling to see someone mod the light engines on them giving them a wider range of appeal.
If you go to the main page of the site it's apparent that flashlights is an afterthought for them and to save time searching just use the above links here in this post.
