Stepless Dimming ● In on status,Press 1 second to activate Stepless Dimming Mode -From moon to turbo need 6 seconds,release the switch can memorize the brightness

But I would also like someone to confirm this, how many seconds from lowest to highest, and visa-versa.
And also does it blink/flash when it reaches the lowest and/or highest brightness?
In post #30 Tom stated: “The ramping is klunky - not consistent”
But I’m not clear on what he means exactly by that.
Also if possible, please report if the MCPCB is Noctigon, as seen in the photo in post #8.
What I can tell so far this is the closest thing to a D1S with 26650, knurling and Stainless bezel, (everything I wish for on the D1S) so I’m totally down with it. I probably won’t use the ramping that much anyway, but at least it has it.
Only thing holding me back now is waiting for the Green color version to surface.
That’s the quick and dirty of it for tonight, it got late on me.
As far as the ramping goes it is slow. It does blink slightly at max.
With the slow ramping perhaps its saving grace is the instant access to lowest from off. Single click.
Instant access to turbo from off. Double click.
More as time allows, I’ll toss a video up of the UI when I get a chance.
No problem. I’ll get some measurements up sometime this weekend as time allows.
EDIT ADDED MEASUREMENTS OF REFLECTOR FOR Cula
The diameter of the reflector at head end at widest part is: 46mm
The diameter at the base of reflector before it steps down to the centering area is: 25mm
The overall length of the reflector from top to bottom is 41mm* If you remove the centering spacer take away another 1mm from that making it 40mm
Hope that helps, if more measurements are needed let me know and I can get them when I can.
What cells have you tried? Any fitment issues? Can you measure the tube ID?
.
That would be unfortunate, but cells can vary slightly as can tubes, let’s see what D_Pierre says. I wouldn’t have a problem doing a slight reaming of the tube if necessary. My LK Lii-50A meausre 26.7mm at their widest point.
That green one sure looks great. Love the shape and size of this flashlight.
Got me thinking on how to mod this one….
I would replace the driver for sure but also want to keep charging possibility. Is there a way to keep this driver only as a charging board and piggyback another driver on top? Which components should I remove (those which power the Led) and which to leave (to keep the charger function)?
Spent sometime with the light. Ramping time will take you 1s-1.5s to reach "High" (~70%) from lowest (visa- versa). However, if you ramp up to Turbo, it will take you rough 6s to ramp down.
I think the “Turbo Momentary” is like the “Tactical” setting on the Q4 where the light remains on as long as you hold the button down. Press the button and it’s on turbo. Release it and it’s off. I guess you can signal that way.
