Checked out my temperature step down in both my lights. One is 28c and the other is 14c. 14c seems a bit cool. I know how to get into thermal temperature step down but I donāt see how to change it. The timed step down I see but not the temperature. Any help would be appreciated.
My apologies blinkerā¦. I have been out & about since I wrote thatā¦. playing in the snowā¦
I had a brain fart when I wrote that this morningā¦. :person_facepalming: ā¦. But I see Jason & joechina got you squared away.
Againā¦ā¦ my apologies.
Snow in Alabama. That must be rare. Not where I am. Am still having a hard time with my temperature step down and the timed step down for that matter. Would like to change it but I must be doing something wrong.
If you are in ramping mode you go into the configuration menu and on the third blink (thermal/timed stepdown) you click the button twice. It does a couple of blinks then goes to Turbo. At this point you just hold on to the light until it gets to the temperature that you want it to step down at and then click the button once. It does a blink or two then continues to the 4th menu option.
Note: If you click the button in less than 5 Seconds the settings will not be changed.
I confirmed this on my Supfire L5-S which has NarsilM v1.
Yepā¦ pretty rare blinker. Usually an inch or two every now and thenā¦ we did get 5 inches this timeā¦ but it will warm up tomorrow & melt.
However back in early March 1993 we had a blizzard. Where I was got just over 2 feet of snow as did about half the state. The whole state had snow & a deep freeze for about a week. Even the coast had 2 - 4 inches.
The state was pretty much crippled for several daysā¦.
As far as temp stepdown, I have not fooled with that. I am just leaving mine on timedā¦. so I can be of no help there.
We had a little snow here in Houston last night. Thatās a very rare site. Luckily it didnāt get to 32Ā° so there was no ice on the overpasses or bridges.
mine worked for a day before one of the springs on the tail pcb came off. I tried to solder it back on but the solder just wonāt stick to the spring!
Did you add flux? You might need to remove the old solder and use fresh along with flux. Flux it what helps it stick.
Actually, it might be best to not use the normal leaded solder with its lower melting point of 190Ā°C. This job might be best for unleaded solder which melts at about 220Ā°C. Which reminds me I need to buy some lead free.
Thanks Jason. Itās working. I have one of mine going for coming up on 2 hours and it is still just warm. Not close to hot. I donāt have 30qs in. Just solder blobbed Samsung batteries from a almost new laptop battery. Thanks again.
I had AIT at Fort McClellan in Oct./Dec. of 1969. It got cold but I canāt remember snow. I wasnāt prepared for how cold it got. Somewhere around freezing if I remember right.
Temp stepdown taken care of I think. Thanks.
Yeahā¦ I live about 20 miles from Fort McClellan (It is closed nowā¦ )
Yeah it usually get cold here. We will hit single digits a couple of times a yearā¦ down to about 0 F.
Quiet a few nights in the high teens & low 20ās. Varies from year to year of course.
I talked with a friend in SE Alaska yesterday and we were a lot colder than they were.
I didā¦but i just ended up with a spring I found in my parts bin and that took a second to solder. Once I bypass the springs, the mismatch current flow compare to the other 3 springs shouldnāt be a problem. Still waiting for my 20awg wires to arriveā¦was thinking about using 22awg but what the heck might as well go a step further.
Just cleaning up the battery tube, tin the screw holes, removed the small tail springs, and lightly sanded the positive ringā¦Iāve ready made great improvement on the output according to my light meter. Canāt wait to bypass the springs and replace the screws.
