Re: New B.O.S.S Flashlight?

Wouldn't mind seeing a pic of the entire machine. The chuck appears to be more than high-end.

It's always interesting to see behind the scenes, as mslm points out...

Yes. 7075 is stronger, and 6061 manages heat better.

Anyone notice the small circles in this image? Maybe another open head air cooled design...

Here is my "enhanced" version:

Styling might be similar...

Heres our introduction from a few years back and a quick comparison:

Or a tailcap?

New B.O.S.S Flashlight?

im having difficulty figuring out what the 10 "ecosystems" are. so far i got...
1- bezel (material/finish)
2- head (material/finish)
3- light engine
4- body (size/finish)
5- tail cap (style/finish)
6- tail switch (clicky, zrs, ect...)
7,8,9,10???

Maybe are this the 10 main categories:

1 - rubber boot
2 - switch
3 - tailcap
4 - clip
5 - battery tube
6 - neck
7 - head/bezel
8 - LE/dropin
9 - lens
10- bezel ring

Bodies exist in slim and regular, for 18350, 18650, 2x18650 and I think even 14500 at one point. Plus body extension tubes maybe?

Maybe are this the 10 main categories

Sorry for the confusion. Ecosystem refers to customer metal choices that appear externally. ring/head/20/35/50/65/100/130/cap is 9 parts before even adding variations of body shape etc. BOSS will have fewer choices, requiring fewer parts, simplifying production and stocking logistics. Leaving room for other options.

Or a tailcap?

We are showing the head first.

Fewer choices... Maybe the switch is integrated into the body. That would make for a simpler setup and maybe easier to design a good pocket clip for.

Re: New B.O.S.S Flashlight?

What if the S.S. in B.O.S.S stands for side-switch?

+1 I saw that also..

 

[ElectronGuru]

Re: New B.O.S.S Flashlight?

BOSS lacks the thickness needed for side switches. Switching is from the tail.

Thank you, now I'm back at the beginning... practically zero! [emoji28][emoji23]

Well hopefully it's fun and engaging. You guys are so knowledgeable and skilled, it's super easy to give so much away there's nothing left for launch!
