Hi everyone... some of you might remember us... some time ago we came up with a fairly different looking Flashlight V2 which was an evolutionary step of the V1 version (see gatlight.com for photos of those).

We now achieved the final step to achieve the perfect user interface. I'd like to introduce the GatLight V3.

Allow me to highlight the evolutionary history of the design.

The GatLight V1 was primarily a prove of concept, incorporating the column design into a flashlight.

Simple on off by rotating the knob in the back. From a user interface point of view not optimal but it was a prove of concept.

The GatLight V2 introduced a gradual brightness change as the knob was being rotated. The small space required us to take entirely different approaches to make it all possible since we couldnt run a wire from the back where the control is to the front where the driver is. Better but still not optimal. The design was taken more towards more curves which gave the light a slightly more futuristic look.


The GatLight V3 for which we currently are taking preorders at lumencraft.net finally achieved the ideal user interface. The knob in the back basically received a small push button switch, allowing the light to be turned on/off instantly, together with a momentary action. The knob still adjusts to different brightness levels (fully regulated). The prototype proved that its the perfect user interface. I know you guys are more interested in the design aspects, than the flashlight related specs. But to sum it up we basically made this the brightest light in comparison to its size. Perfect color balanced LED (pure white), super bright (250 Lumen LED Mfg rating), fully electronically regulated (meaning as the battery voltage drops the brightness stays the same), temperature sensor to monitor light during operation etc etc... I actually want to talk more about the design than the flashlight specs. Anyway we're currently selling the first production round and take preorders (ETA 3 months) at lumencraft.net .
Here are some photos of the V3. Another major difference is that we incorporated a carbon fiber sleeve to add even more high tech materials (all other parts are made out of Titanium). Very high end product, think the Rolex of Flashlights. Anyway here are some V3 pictures. Price is $370 for all Titanium, for the tuxedo version (black and white version) with Titanium bars its $295.
