Introducing.... Accelerometer based Andruil 2.0

Why click the button 14 times when you can merely shake, flick, and draw the action you want your flashlight to do~

By holding the switch on your new Hank Light with accelerometer, you'll be able easily turn on or off your flashlight as well as many (8) other functions!

Wooo! So excited, thanks for running the giveaway! I'll be sure to share photos upon receiving :)

Interesting prompt. Um, some sort of standard clip-in footprint for LEDs, so you can swap LEDs like changing lightbulbs. Then you can have a pack of 519As in all flavors and doneness and change them at will among all your 3535 lights. Trickier for higher voltage LEDs, but it would be fun.

Thanks for running this!

A flashlight that shines grayscale. Turns everything into a black and white image.

RNG-controlled brightness. Every button press is a new roll of the dice.

We have lightning storm mode in Anduril for that. :)

Not disruptive enough. Too automated.

I wonder if you could add a lug to the base of the diffuser that the wrist lanyard could thread through, so it dangles at the end of the lanyard. That acts as a keeper f6 the diffuser when not in use, and as a GITD locator for the flashlight in the dark. You'd use the flashlight to charge up the gitd of course.

A detachable charging base. As it, the light would have a detachable charging base that either allows USB-C charging or magnetic charging. Some prefer USB since it's more readily available, but you can change the base for magnetic charging like many olights. OR remove the base completely and forgo the charging abilities and have a shorter/smaller flashlight

Sound based intensity.

A scream is brightest but will dim as the volume falls to a whisper.

[–] jerv@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

And now I have "Careless Whisper" playing on repeat in my head.... the Sergio Flores version....

Probably not very original but I'd love USB-C or Bluetooth programming paired with an app. These click sequences are getting out of hand.

Agreed, but only if they use a proprietary hard or software that they eventually drop support for
