Open-source flashlights: one firmware, design rules, and complete designs you can build, change and sell.
Seven designs side by side at true scale (the scale is in millimetres). Choose one to see what it does and where its files are. None of them has been built yet: the pictures are renders and the light figures are simulated.
A keychain light with a laser pointer and a Bluetooth presenter mode: it turns your slides, and the laser is the pointer. The three keys sit on the centre line of a faceted aluminium body.
Designed and checked by software, with a build guide and upload-ready order files. Light figures are simulated.
The brightest LuxLibre light: a Luminus SST-40 at up to 5.7 A from an 18500 cell. The USB-C port sits in the side of the head under a twist collar that seals it.
A concept: housing and firmware header done, circuit boards not drawn yet. Light figures are simulated.
The EDCO-18 in a slimmer body for a 14500 cell: the same SST-40, collar and button, a little less current.
A concept: housing and firmware header done, circuit boards not drawn yet. Light figures are simulated.
The first EDCO: a plain sealed tube with no laser and no radio. Charging, updates and settings go through one sealed USB-C socket in the centre of the tail.
A concept: housing and firmware header done, circuit boards not drawn yet. Light figures are simulated.
A beam that is white or any colour. A white SST-20 and red, green and blue LEDs share one optic; turbo runs all four. Five clicks turn on the colour, two clicks change it, and the button glows in the beam's colour.
A concept: housing and firmware header done, circuit boards not drawn yet. Light figures are simulated.
A sealed keychain light with red and UV side lights, a waterproof USB-C socket and a keyring tab at the tail. The M version has two magnets in the end of the tab.
A concept: housing and firmware header done, circuit boards not drawn yet. Light figures are simulated.
The smallest LuxLibre light: the Mini in a Ø17 body. No high-drain cell of its size is sold today, so it needs a cell made to order.
A concept: housing and firmware header done, circuit boards not drawn yet. Light figures are simulated.
Light figures are lumens out of the front with the LED at 85 °C in 25 °C still air, from the LuxLibre simulator. "From turbo to the end" is the time until the light falls below 10 % of its 30 s output.
The LuxLibre designs next to 14 lights you can buy, grouped by cell size. The other lights were measured by independent reviewers; the LuxLibre figures are simulated, so read them as targets.
Every number with its source, and the lights left out and why: the full comparison (data).
Every body has an A3 drawing at 2:1 made from the same parameters as its STEP file, with a feature table and tolerances. Each opens as a PDF; the DXF and STEP files sit next to it.
These pages run entirely in your browser: nothing is uploaded and there is no account. Each has a demo mode, so you can try it without a light.
