This is a friendly looking light, not really geared towards flashlight nerds, and in this instance designed to make a nice looking xmas gift. But, then it has the complicated UI and mess of features. They should get rid of that and instead make a very simple light (like 2 or 3 levels max) with the same styling. The RGB stuff should go. I don’t understand the recent obsession with that. It’s even on the TS27 which is supposedly a duty light. What’s next, include a music player in the flashlight?

I could also do without the magnet in the light, though that’s just me. I have a few lights with magnets and have generally found the feature useless, though I do like headlamps for handsfree use. I remember that hiking compasses used to often come with lifetime warranties. That stopped a few years ago. Are the compasses worse? No, they’re the same, but so many people are carrying magnetized crap in their gear (such as flashlights with magnets) that it was creating a lot of warranty returns for compasses that had gotten their poles reversed by being near magnets.

Overall a nice approach but poor execution I’d have to say. It reminds me of an old favorite plastic 2AA light that I had back in the incandescent era. The styling was sort of similar. The light used a #222 penlight bulb n a round reflector about 4cm in diameter, with the batteries side by side underneath. I spent a while searching online for a picture ot that light (they were fairly common) without success. I think the brand was “Bullseye”, but that same name has been used for so many other lights that it’s useless as a search term.

If anyone has a link to a photo of the Bullseye light, or has one of the lights and can take a pic of it, I’d appreciate seeing it. I don’t particularly want to acquire one (I have too many lights already) but I have fond memories of using those things, and would enjoy seeing a reminder.
