I have some questions for anyone who owns one of these, some may have been answered earlier in the thread but I want to confirm anyway:
1. Double click to ramping is from OFF or from ON? (or from either?)
2. When it enters ramping does it start on high or low?
3. Is there memory on the ramping mode?
4. Does it require a button top battery or will flat top work too?
5. Is the emitter genuine USA Cree or is it latticebright etc.?
Also a question for anyone who has both this and OTR M3: Is High on this comparable output to the OTR M3 Turbo?
I was considering the OTR M3 but I’d rather have NW than the warmer 5C of the OTR, plus I think I’ll like the ramping mode too. I’ve had the OTR M6 for several years and still carry it daily.
Ahhh! I thought the 3 “likes” were from them Well, the “yes” will be enough
Yup, it seems nice! Let’s see what answer they will give you Even with a “simple” UI, it would be better to have L-M-H, than the L-H-Strobe!
I’m not able to answer all the questions as I don’t have the flashlight with me! If some members can do that, nice; otherwise, tomorrow I’ll answer that
Can’t remember…

Yes, there is memory on ramping mode!
My guess is that a flat top will also work, but I only tried with the battery it came with and I have no flat top batteries :person_facepalming:
The emitter is genuine It has a nice neutral to warm tint (despite with the SMO reflector it creates some “yellowish” corona).
One thing you must be aware is the ramping mode. It is quite similar to this that freeme posted here:
The low is not moonlight, the high is not super bright! Also, when it starts ramping in one direction (up or down), even if you stop it, next time you hit the button it will ramp up or down, and it will only ramp in the opposite direction after reaching the top or bottom limit!
I believe that the 3 modes L-M-H will be much more usable than the ramping mode. :+1:
No, the OTR turbo is brighter. The difference between 500 lumen and 900 lumen is not so great, but it is noticable.
I have CW in both models and both are identical in tint. Not very cool in my opinion. Both have a hint of paleness. It kind of reminds me of a cree 2x color rather than a 1x. I’m gonna try a sst40 in it to see if I can’t get rid of the yellow. I’ve heard the OTR NW is also warmer than people expect. You can also play with the tint a little by changing the glass lens.
The OTR M3 and clone M3 have clear lenses. If you add an AR coated lens it makes it even more NW.
In freeme’s vid it appears when ramping reaches max or min it doesn’t blink or pause, it just immediately reverses direction. So no pause when reaches min. and no blinking when it reaches max.
.
By this do you mean if you stop and then restart the ramping it will continue in the same direction as before you stopped? I only have one light with ramping and that’s what it does, so that seems normal to me. Do other ramping UI’s do something different?
