How about RBG LED with programmable driver via apps on cellphone through Bluetooth? Wireless conduction charging. Composite materials for lighter weight. Vapor Deposition Chamber Cooling for better heat dissipation.
As an outsider looking in, it would appear not much has changed in the last 4 years. Things I'm surprised I don't see much if at all: • Custom input mechanisms beyond clicky switches and twisty (exception: HDS rotary and Cool Fall) • Fancy cooling systems such as liquid or heat pipes to enable longer runtime at high lumen levels • Easier programming (exception: Lux-RC web based programming via light sensor in flashlight) • More powerful programming (e.g. choosing what click, press-and-hold, and double-click do) • Innovative multi-emitter designs with custom optics that let you switch between spot and flood • Qi2 wireless charging • More distinctive shapes made possible with lithium polymer batteries
I like the way the surefire looks the most out of what you have there. Lol. I went from Fenix to surefire to cloud defensive. I am blown away with the quality of the cloud defensive.
Copper serves more function than any other metal since copper decipates heat throughout better than any other metal so a copper flashlight would be more effective than a aluminum or ti
Javier Lopez For heat dissipation purposes, yes, you are correct. However, copper is also highly malleable and overtly heavy which rules out practical use in most flashlights. It’s generally reserved only for very small flashlights in this regard. That’s why aluminum and titanium are colloquially more desirable. Hope this helps! ;)
Somewhat akin to PC overclocking it was a small niche of users that now the major makers accommodate and actively market their products to. For me its been there done that. I own what you describe as custom flashlight, more than 1 maker however I like to use mine i can see why others would not however. To each their own at the end of the day any review is just that persons opnion, you dont have to agree. I like the content provided by many online platforms as it adds variety.
If you want my honest thoughts? I don’t think it’s anything special. Just another fancy host cramming a Dragon driver in. Probably C grade taking into account the price. precogvision.com/?page_id=1984 Here are my thoughts on a bunch of other custom brands if you want to take a look too!
Nick Stalker Hype plus supply and demand. For a lot of people they’re jewelry pieces. I understand...but also can’t rationalize purchasing the stuff either haha.
Precogvision do you know where I might be able to find someone selling one? Didn't see anything on Reddit or eBay and I'm not in flashlight forums(if there are any) or anything like that.

Super great video covering market info!
This video may be years old but still stands true today.😊

Great vids. Its hard to find good info on these types of lights. Thanks for putting it out there.
great review and perspective. I have read your other reviews and you are in the right direction :-) Thanks for the review and I agree with your points

Precogvision yes I have a copper sinner and it's heavy I rarely use it... But I'll be posting of my collection soon too 👍🏼 like the vids
Great video!
In one of your images it showed a skull clip with blue eyes

How do you spell the maker that makes the small one on your keychain? Kamenev? And how do you get his stuff?
Great video, very informative. If one do want a custom flashlight in 2020, what brand would you recommend in the 500-dollar range?
Thanks! Check out my Top 5 customs video :)
@@Precogvision Yes, I saw that just after posting my comment... Have you handled a Reaver Citadel? I'm looking at them a bit.

@@Precogvision Thanks! I appreciate honesty!
Great review, just come down to Earth on the vocabulary bud. You’re dealing with every day folk here.
899th subscriber! 😊😄
What's that silverish one in the middle at the beginning of the vii
It’s either the Mechforce or the Synergy1. I’ve got reviews on both if you check my other vids :)
i can rationalize a lot of wild purchases... however the steelflame rubbish i simply do not understand. one of the dumbest things in this hobby.

Looking to sell that synergy 1?🥺👉👈
Lol sorry, it’s here to stay!

Bryan Ngan Facebook group...Frelux Faction. That’s where they go up quite often, and he releases updates
Trust me... the custom knife/flashlight/edc world sucked long before people moved to Instagram.
2020 and they still doing triple led with 1 color led. Wtf.
"useless gimmicks" *shows anduril*... Youre sounding more like youre talking outside your field with that. EDC guys lmao

Precogvision it was a great video he just a hater.
Lol thanks! I can be a bit dull at times though, so I understand.
Your pronunciation of words is bizarre. I enjoy your vids though.
Thanks. English language born and raised, so not sure 🤷♂️
@@Precogvision Dude.. you said "Hairloom" instead of "Heirloom"
Ha, I butcher one word so my pronunciation is bizarre? 😅
