What do you think about the Wurkkos HD02? (www.kickstarter.com)

Just found out about the Kickstarter, thinking of backing it for a jack of all trades flashlight, but I’d like to hear some takes on it :) Any opinion on emitters, lack of UV filter (ZWB something, I can’t remember) and form factor? Quite expensive considering Wurkkos, but packs a lot of features.

Anything that "transforms" is gonna get broken, unless it's made of metal.

Even if were machined from billet, that thing will eventually fail when dropped a few times, because those are small hinge points.

Plus I've found the stick style light tube just works better than these directional panels. The old fluorescent tube lights that light a work area are a great design, get one with led and now you have something (I replaced my 20 year old Dewalt work light with an led version). They light your work well but aren't a high-intensity eye fryer when you look directly at it.

Now I just need to find a compact one using 18650's.
