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.
Assuming memory is turned on, just ramp it up to where you want and turn it off.
If you are at the lowest, for example, then double click to get turbo, then turn off. It will have the lowest memorized. So try ramping it to where you want.
Memory is a setting you can turn on and off depending on whether you want it to have memory.
On my light I hold the button for 8 seconds and it does the fast double, then 1 blink, pause, etc…
When it gets to double, then 5 blinks I click the button twice. It will blink twice to confirm, (on setting 5, 1 click is disable and 2 clicks is enable and it shows 1 is default) then you can let it finish going through the rest of the menu.
I avoided the complex UI’s for a long time because my memory is so bad. With over 100 lights, it’s difficult to remember which has which UI. But of course now I have Narsil and Bistro and Biscotti and Guppydrv and the Nitecore mismash and and and…. I try to download pdf owners manuals and UI guides so I can refresh my memory if I am using a light that’s tricking me. The cheat sheet is a good idea, if I can remember it’s under the tail cap. lol
I love ramping, so I haven’t changed my Narsil light to date.
