ClearView™ flashlight (Purist Version)

Description
The original flashlight without the logo projection and without switch sounds. Just flashlight. You can however combine it with ClearView™ switch, which is here: https://gtm.steamproxy.vip/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3293284860

LE (Legacy Edition) variant with the logo projection can be found here: https://gtm.steamproxy.vip/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3293017479

And complete release with switch sounds as one addon is here: https://gtm.steamproxy.vip/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3290549009

features:

*optimal dispersion

*ideal brightness
(please read notes following the list for explanation of this)
*near-to-neutral colour temperature

*organic, natural feel

*non-obtrusive projection of a logo
(available in the LE variant and complete version)
*dedicated switch sounds
(they can be heard in the presentational video, but they are not present in this PV release)


Notes: While the brightness may seem to be a bit on the dimmer side, I can confirm that it is intentional. The reason is such not to cause too dramatic effect from when the light is off and when you turn it on, which can be annoying (it would have to be dimmable) and to make it fit the outward transition. Therefor, the brightness is under control and the flashlight works as a supportive light source there, where other light is already present and as a comfortable spotlight in dark conditions with a wider lit area than the stock one. However, I may release other variant later. For this your opinion would be helpful. Also, in the comparison screenshot where it is directed at wall (by safe room of the first Blood Harvest map) it may be seen as brighter than on other walls. This is dependable on texture mapping and its reflection. There are places where it lacks the reflectivity setting, and thus the texture may appear too dim, but on other places and walls it may be alright. I tried finding somewhat a so-called "sweet spot" of these factors I mentioned. The light could be eventually stronger, but then the spotlight effect would have to be lesser and the feel of it would be different. I made about 100 test variants - each tested in the game -, until I decided for this one, that is, the most pleasant one to use in my view while providing a better (cleaner) visibility than the default one. (a nicely made flashlight, btw, but simply affecting clarity of the view too much, so a change might be good).

Depending on use with guns/other weapons or items, the logo will appear either horizontally or vertically. It is not an error of the flashlight, it is somewhat a standard function of it, same as of the stock one. It could however be viewed as an error and it basically, in its way, partially is. Yet to make it be the same on all weapons/items, each model would have to be edited. What can certainly be viewed as a problem though, is that the light source is missing a model for it in many of cases. So ideally, each survivor should wear a headlamp.

The logo won't change its colours in game, unless it would be supported by the game. I'm sorry about it and thank you for your understanding. (LE and complete version)

It is fully compatible with multiplayer.

HISTORY OF THE BRAND:
After reaching some 800 hours of gameplay and return to the game (as well after a several year-long lasting pause), a search, again, to replace the stock flashlight using Workshop was done, yet still with no satisfactory results however. Seeing that they are either too bright, too dim, too synthetic looking, wrongly functioning or picture-portraying, a decision was made to create the best flashlight for me and you, and unlike some other flashlights, this one works correctly. (no disappearing at closer distance)

USAGE:
Our flashlight is resitant to dirt, dust and water, such as -hard rain-, shake and shock-proof. (IP58 certification, safe-fall distance 7,5 metres, 100 ATM minimum) The reflector features a durable, hard-to-break glass, however, it may scratch by sharp, rigid objects. If there is an apparent damage to your flashlight's glass affecting the view, then please contact us to receive a code for a free new glass. (manual on how to replace it is included)

Suitable for research, excavation, cave exploring, camping, and to overcome an apocalypse. A handy helper to have with you on your life's path. It can be used for signaling too. (for a full list of possible use we could think of, please read the manual. (it takes several of pages)

CLEANING:
If there is a dirt you would like to get rid of, such as -mud-, wash it in a clean water and wipe it with a soft pure cotton cloth. For the optics use optimally a leather wiper after washing.

CHARGING:
Regarding a proper charging, please refer to detailed instructions in the manual.

PRECAUTIONS:
Although ClearView™ in most cases won't overbright enlit scenes and objects, a direct light in dark conditions into the eyes of living beings 1 m and closer should be avoided.

The logo has got its own laser-like reflector, well within Class 1 laser specification, (below 0.39 mW). While it may be considered safe, we do not recommend a direct view at it as a general precaution.

EXPERIENCE:
We would like to hear of your experience. You can share your story with ClearView™ in the comment section below or contact us on flashlightphenomenon@gmail.com. Your feedback is very welcome.

An apparently better view, ClearView™.

Our commitment is serious and product always comes with a lifetime guarantee.

Subnotes: I don't endorse virtual life, although I do realize usefulness of virtualization and technologies adjacent to it. This is meant for fun, but the flashlight itself was made with an effort to make it be the very best.

Since I don't have money to establish a company, it exists only virtually. However, if there will be at least 100 000 subcribers, I would consider creating a startup to make it a reality! Investors for partnership welcome.

If you can't play the video for some reason, then please let me know about it and I will try to solve it out so that you can see it too.

It took my PC exactly 9 hours to render just the 10 second sequence in the video.

If you want to express an appreciation by other way than by writing a comment, you can.
