NEW Klarus tactical interface, momentary-only!

Klarus XTQ1 preliminary info so please ignore the typos

center button is strobe. momentary.

outer ring is momentary output

tighten tailcap to get constant-on, then center button changes modes. ok so it's not exactly momentary only. kinda like mmu-x aka X10

seems to be a pure tactical interface but i'm not sure how i feel about this setup. for some reason i think that it's more intuitive for the center button to be for momentary output and the outer ring to be for strobe/mode_change

i also think the center button should be raised

Interesting Hope more info comes soon. They can always send me a sample for review

Clip looks pretty shady for a purely tactical light.

sounds like it'll be pretty unique. let's hope this is a good light!

I am about to buy two Klarus XT11 820lm's right now... and now I see this... will I ever buy a dang light? lol Now I need to learn more about this one before I do anything.

I don't see how this is better than the current xt interface.

I'm wondering how easy it will be to activate 1 switch from the other during a "tactical" situation wearing gloves.

Most easy way, is still to use one button and strobe is the first mode.

not gonna be easy that's why i'm suggesting to them to make the center button raised. in a tactical situation i don't wanna have to make the conscious decisions on which buttons to hit

also strobe is overrated so IMHO should be on the outer ring instead

please don't hesitate to add your suggestions here. i will be sure to forward them to Klarus

Maybe to titanium coat or otherwise blacken clips and bezels?
Never liked stainless steel on flashlights!

I got a few klarus lights. I think for the money they are worth it.

I don't own any Klarus lights, but I gotta give them credit for thinking outside the box a little.

most definitely.

Looks like just a combination copy of SF's switchs.
