We will reflash them if you pay shipping. Flashing is easy, getting the driver out without breaking anything can be difficult. Are you sure that you got the first firmware? We only sent out a handful of lights with V1 firmware. Quite a few with what I would consider to be V1.9 firmware (newer thermal throttling, but for more uses it is as good as V2. If it blinks in the middle of the ramp then you do not have V1 firmware.
Hey Richard - any chance of getting a S2+ host in Desert Tan? I know you haven’t even gotten the fully built tan ones in yet, but figured I’d ask if there was any plan for a host-only version too. I need a tan triple…
Main difference I’ve noticed between V1.9 and V2.0 is that V1.9 has some bugs.
With my V1.9 light, I’ll start off in moonlight and after a second it will occasionally jump to max turbo…. not good if you happen to be staring into the emitters admiring the pretty tint. Don’t ask me how I know…. :smiling_imp:
I’ve also noticed that sometimes my V1.9 light will start in moonlight and then step up to a low brightness on its own even when not being touched.
In all other respects it functions just like V2.0. However, V2.0 is better because it has no bugs.
Yep. If that happens, then you can reset the prediction table by loosening the tailcap to remove power to the driver and it will temporarily reset the bug until you hit thermal protection again.
Just a heads up: we have more D4 that came in this morning and we are going to be finishing up testing in the next few hours, so look for them to hit the website later this evening.
Yes, but I would change the firmware so that it only uses the 7135 for moonlight.
---No offense to Tom, but I haven't been a big fan of Narsil's UI---too complicated. I played with it early on and it was a pain for me to figure out, so I could imagine the frustrated e-mails I was going to receive if I offered it on any drivers. I also haven't received many requests for it, so I never got around to optimizing it for any drivers. Maybe it has changed enough in the past year to change my opinion of it, but I will have to look at it again and see.
We also ordered more Aspire 18350s about three weeks ago, but I haven't heard anything about shipment yet. I am checking up with them (they were slow last time too).
