I support this. I love the 5000K, 219C, QUAD LED parts, but the implementations of the Tube, the Switch firmware, and the USB cover are …. suboptimal. Shame, it is so close, but yet so far from being such a great little pocket rocket.
I am tempted to glue that USB cover permanently to the host, its getting open so easily
doing the review I noticed it opened unattended on a picture later, likely when twisting the light to get the battery in or out
just compare to the great Klarus ones
to lock out the light a fast quad press is better than long press, if the light is in a bag a long press can happen very easily and then you got 10A from a fresh cell melting stuff
the UI is suboptimal that long press for on and off is way too long and annoying
Narsil or UTorch firmware is far better
I would be interested. My only thing would be a fully programmable light. I like em simple but I realize not everyone does. At the very least I like them to have mode memory. I typically use high and I want them to come on at high. That is just me though.
Its not gonna happen, either way you modify it or get another small quad
The S42 need another firmware, better FET, copper head, thicker leads, added 7135 and changed head design so the TIR rests on the LEDs not floating 1mm above em
Well said! I have a S41 and if the S42 had a copper head with side switch i’d buy it and 18650 tube… still disappointed by the discounted price on the S41 offered 4 days after my purchase :rage:
The S42 is availiable in SS with copper head,
can make a really nice light with 18650 tube and a Skilhunt or shortened tailcap if you put in there a TA Narsil driver
Thanks. I missed that option for a copper head. Unfortunately I’d have to buy 1 stainless with copper plus one aluminum and long tube to bake plus driver and spend well over $100 for the equivalent of a S41 with a side switch in the color I want.
