Yeah, you should be able to re-configure that driver to dang near anything you want, even thermal step down with manual setting. Tom worked very hard to get everything possible in it…
After holding the button down for 8 seconds it goes into menu mode. It will do 2 quick flashes which is only to get your attention, then a single flash and a pause, this is setting 1. Then you can press the button once to switch from ramping to modes and it will blink once.
Then it will do the fast double blink to get your attention then 2 longer blinks. This is setting 2, etc…
So don’t count the first 2 fast blinks, only the slower blink afterwards. The 2 fast is only to get your attention so your ready to count. This is what confused me at first.
You can then let it go through and finish all 7 settings or just hold down the button to exit the menu early.
Yes, but once you set it, there’s no need to mess with it.
Just look at the options and decide what you want. Ramping or modes. If modes, how many. Do you want modes to go from low to high or high to low. Do you want moonlight. Do you want memory. It’s not too hard. I love the default ramping mode myself.
Triple click and it blinks out cell voltage.
Quad click to lock out.
The special modes like strobe, sos, bike mode, etc… are double click, pause, double click again. So it’s pretty hard to accidentally go into them.
Narsil is great once you get a feel for it. I want all my lights to have it! Lol.
4 quick clicks gives lockout dont know how to get out of it but i did.
3 quick clicks battery voltage.
I was in a mode that was stuck in low mode would not ramp either way. Dont know how i got there but i got out somehow.
I just did 4 quick clicks waited a few seconds then clicked and held and i had momentary at the highest brightness. Then i did 4 quick and it gave 2 quick blinks and i was back in ramping mode.
Time to recharge….i think the Aspires will be the choice in the 18350 D4.
Double click from on or off should do that (turbo).
Or if you turn it off at the highest, one click will turn it back on in that same brightness. So its pretty easy.
I tend to go to highest, then ramp it down just a hair and leave it there. This gives you like 90% brightness, but longer run times and less heat.
If it’s memorized to come on a really high setting and you want to turn it on at a low setting, just turn it on by pressing and holding. This will turn it on in moonlight and begin ramping up. It’s good for when you don’t want to mess up your night vision.
First time i tried 4 clicks i got to lockout but i dont know how i got out of it.
Now i cant repeat the lockout as it now gives me momentary at its highest brightness.
