What do you do when the lights go out? Get a Standby Light!
Maelstrom MXS "Standby"
Sale - $166.50
*website: https://darksucks.com/products/maelstrom-mxs-standby-26650
The Maelstrom is back, better, and standing by...the light that's ready even when you are not. The MXS lives on it's inductive charging base (no cables or ports on the light) and even turns on automatically when the power is interrupted. The MXS delivers between 10 and 1700 lumens with a Nichia 144A LED @ 4000K and 90+ CRI.
Over a year in development, the MXS is the first all-new Foursevens light under the Prometheus banner. It's called the "Standby" for two very important reasons:
The Inductive charging base keeps your light ready to go at all times. No more wondering if your batteries are charged...they are...as long as you put it back on the base. The base initiates ONE charge when the light is placed on the base. For safety reasons, it does not continuously top up the battery.
Standby Mode is activated when you put the light on the charging base. This means the light will automatically turn on (in the lowest setting) when a power outage occurs...and it will at some point. When the lights go out, the MXS is way ahead of you.
In the past, Foursevens was known for leading the industry in performance and technology. Over the last decade the flashlight world has grown immensely, and the playing field is much more level than it used to be. Anyone can make a powerful light these days, and large companies with dozens of staff engineers and designers are working tirelessly to bring you the latest craze...but they often forget their users actually use their lights. That's the first thing on my mind, and the reason the MXS exists.
So what now? My plan for the new Foursevens is to double down on reliability, usability, and CRI. My background is in product design, which is about making sure engineering meets the needs of the human using the object. Things don't need to be newer, they need to be better.
If you know me, you know I hate lights with plug-in charging ports. Yes, it's convenient (sometimes) but most lights make some major sacrifices in reliability. Lights with charging ports are prone to mechanical failure and contamination by dust and water when the seals inevitably fail. I want my light to work when I need it most. So I set out to find a convenient charging solution that wasn't plagued by the problems of plug-in charging. Enter inductive charging; ports are so 2020.
Electronic Side Switch
I normally can't stand side switch lights, so I designed one that I love. The E-Switch enables an incredibly simple and effective UI. 4 well spaced ramping levels, direct access to Burst Mode from any setting including from 'off', and direct access to the lowest setting from off. Everything you need, nothing you don't.
Standard 26650 Batteries
Many lights that feature "in light charging" use proprietary batteries. Not the MXS. Thorough a little cleverness and a real pain in the butt manufacturing step we've eliminated the need for special batteries. This means you can charge the battery in an external charger (not just inside the light), or use any 26650 battery you have access to (protected or unprotected), though we always recommend protected batteries like ours.
New side switch UI
Direct Access to Moonlight mode: From off, just long-press the side switch and the light will activate on this lowest setting. Never worry about what mode your light has remembered.
Burst Mode: A quick double click allows access to 100% output, no matter what level you are currently in. Another double click takes you back to the last mode you used.
