I did a turbo temperature test. After 4-5 minutes I got an external temp reading of about 69 degrees C. I did the test to confirm that I had not accidentally disabled the turbo timer while changing the settings to my liking. So is this the typical temp I should have expected? I really can’t tell you if it stepped down visually because I did it with the light facing a white wall and after so many lumens is hard to tell if anything is really changing, I also do not know how quickly the timer drops output.
Yes, you guys have done a great job keeping everything “between the ditches” here. But, now that you’ve got experience with BLF group buys, I’ll be expecting it to go even smoother next time! :sunglasses:
I set it for the time based step down, 3 minutes was what I intended to set it as. If I were to do it based upon temp what is a good temp to do so? Also how many lumens does the light step down to.
Well, 3 mins is the default. If yours is stock, 3 mins works pretty well. For temperature setting, all depends what you want it at. An externally measured temp of about 50-60C works well, but even 50C is feel'n quite warm, all depends.
Although tracking from China is a muddy, muddled mystery to me, I did figure out my Q8 is in New York City! Now it just has to travel to Florida with the snowbirds!
Has anyone noticed or mentioned the behavior where if the light is switched off when ramped below 50% the switch only flashes once and quick method of disabling switch leds doesn’t work? Sorry if I missed it if mentioned already.
Yeah… it is almost funny. My last two finally got out of customs the other day in California & have been on two completely different routes to final destination (me in AL). One has hit every small town possible it seems since it left Arizona…. Comical to watch for sure……
Sometimes I look at those small towns that Fedex drives through on google maps, and imagine what life is like for the people there. Especially if it has a unique name, or if I vaguely remember hearing the name somewhere.
I had to look twice before I realised that it is no joke, LOL. The ‘we’ve got it’ and the ‘it’s coming today’ are are at least real things happening, but the ‘it’s on its way’ is the ‘we’re not going to tell you what is happening to your package right now’.
Yeah… I know what you mean. Probably, in many cases; life is a lot more ‘simple’ compared to most in a bustling metro area. (which simple works for me… )
I do the same thing with the “Locations” listed below peoples avatars here on BLF.
For instance…… Yours says, “Eastern Woodlands in the Wilderness of North America”.
I picture that in my mind as somewhere between East Tennessee & Pennsylvania, possibly even on up to Maine or into Canada; out pretty much away from it all surrounded by nature & a lot of mostly untouched land & woods.
Right or wrong, I’ll most likely never know. But it is fun to imagine.
