I’m not sure memory is turned on by default. The narsil cheat sheet posted earlier says it’s turned off by default at least for “modes”.
Maybe I turned memory on for my light? I can’t remember.
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.
Ahhhhh…got to give it a break….the 8 click thing does not work on my lights.
Here is the cheatsheet again for this page.
I think you mean click and hold for 8 seconds to get into the menu.
I hear ya.
I try to take pictures of the pdf and keep it on my phone. That way I always have it.
On my L6 with Narsil I tried out the modes, but ramping is way better. The only thing I remember trying to change in the menu was to turn off all strobes. Unfortunately you can’t when using ramping, it’s a glitch. No big deal though.
I got my driver from Lexel, so he must have set my memory to “enable”. I don’t remember doing it.
I forgot what thread I was on. I didn’t post my video here. Check it out. This shows some narsil basics.
I plan to make a video showing the menu setup, but haven’t had time yet.
I’ve changed all my lights to ramping UI. I like to put in a reference blink at a particular duty cycle that corresponds to ~1 hour runtime. I find just that one reference helps a lot in knowing how much power you are using.
That is easier said than done.
I just want to wave a magic wand over all my lights to switch them to ramping. Lol
True. You have to take the plunge and learn to compile and flash FW. I use Toykeeper’s Crescendo FW for clicky switch lights and her e-switch ramping FW for the others. I haven’t tried Tom E.’s narsil yet, but I might buy one of these little quad hotrods.
Just wanted to say thanks to RMM for another pleasant transaction. Another order placed on a monday delivered on friday. Looking forward to installing the xhp70.2 and seeing how it compares to the now deceased xhp70 it will replace.
The xhp70 failed due to impatience. After reflowing it to a maxtoch 32mm board and assembling the light I neglected to clean the dome. At about 2 1/2 minutes in turbo mode a stream of smoke and black spot appeared. :person_facepalming:
Best excuse to upgrade to newer LED! :smiling_imp:
For everyone with questions about the new Emisar D4, I have answers:
The firmware is not Narsil. It’s similar, and it’s based on Narsil, but there are some significant differences.
Ah, thanks for clearing up the firmware.
It seems it doesn’t have memory at all. That’s a bumner.
Different lights with different UI is what drove me to buying mostly Vinh modified lights with driverVN. They allow me to select output groups but they still work basically the same. Bad memory proof. I am going to get a D4 though. Two Q8’s and a GT also. I will have to add the UI for these on to the cheat sheet I have saved on my phone. That cheat sheet is getting pretty long.
Received all my new lights today, very nice indeed, and real happy to see all the talk here about UI, I didn’t follow anything on this light so all I know it’s a Hank design so all I have is M43 in mind for UI but that’s hardly the case I see.
Really they should have put a note in the box with a link to UI at least.
Will be following TK’s link I saw, thank you… TK…!!
Thankfully and contrary to much belief I am not so stupid I couldn’t turn it on simple enough, but after that I’m thinking “OK” is that it…??
This is designed by Hank, there has to be more than ramp up and down and a double click to turbo and I’m sure there is so will look at the links here later.
The shorty tubes are great, the 18650 tubes should have had knurling ribs like the shorty tubes just something IMO, very very smooth, dropped the light taking it out of the box, dry hands and a very smooth ano, but thought of an instant fix for that, heat shrink tubing in black and done right it should look good and have that rubbery feel.
The best thing though was the shipping from Richard,
Sure am glad he decided to do the pre-order idea of “MINE” ha ha,
Received the notice from Mt. my order had shipped and it took about 2-3 days until I got a email message this morning from tracking USPS, “You have a package at your front door” Yippee… ran for the door and I don’t run for anything, well except mail from Richard … :laughing:
Thank You Very Much Mr. Richard, you have such a awesome company.
These are nice lights and running this light with the short tube and the new Aspires it is nice and small, really small, very pocket friendly and puts out some light. Don’t even need any clip in short or tall mode frankly, just drop in in your pocket.
Thanks for that link TK, just messing around I had already figured out up to six click lock out, so this is a really nice UI for sure, not near as complicated as I had thought with it coming from Hank, thinking M43 which is my favorite UI so just using those thoughts and trying some of those meteor UI clicks I found most of Tom’s UI, this is GREAT… nicest UI I think I own actually, simple but really gets the job done nicely.
Edit: Saw a comment about whether or not this switch could activate in your pocket, my answer would be most likely, and even though the lock out feature is easy enough, the loosen the tail cap lock out is easier yet, fits in the pocket very comfortably, especially in shorty tube style, it’s smaller than the S41/S41S quad in 18350 by 1/3 easy, take the tail switch off the S41 and then you have the size of this D4 in 350 size, thanks to side switch.
^ Nice! That’s how you do it alright; just get three of them, pow pow, you know it’s quality alright! :+1:
Yeah M43 number one alright. I love UI1. :partying_face:
