Champ45

Champ45 measures 97.2mm (3.8 inches), and the maker frames it as a blend of multi-functionality and minimal design. It combines a four-color WRGB LED with a fidget spinner, and bodies are offered in titanium, stainless steel, copper and aluminum, each chosen for its texture and durability. Turned upside down, the light is designed to resemble a table trophy, so it can sit on a desk by day and serve as a light at night.

Light and spin

Lighting comes from an XLamp® XM-L® Color Gen 2 LED that mixes red, green and blue with white. According to the maker, simple clicks switch between modes including an emergency strobe, colored rescue signals and mood lighting, with output of up to 600 lumens. The spinner uses a high-speed bearing that the maker says delivers a smooth rotation intended for stress relief and focus.

Control runs through a single switch. The maker describes a memory function: apart from eco and emergency modes, any mode used for 2 seconds before switching off is restored the next time the light is turned on.

The Hong Kong-based team reports CNC machinists, industrial designers with over 10 years of experience and structural engineers on staff, and cites patent-pending technology and a trademarked design. The campaign outlined stretch goals at $50,000, adding an EDC toolbox to each flashlight, and $100,000, with a backer vote on additional materials such as Damascus steel and zirconium alloy.
