I tried without and with a number of bleeder resistor values but did not get the lighted tail working on the X2R without it messing with the timings (and I think I remember there was something wrong with the charging also). The next mode memory that Jason got is in fact the light seeing any amount of time, including infinity, as a short āoffā , which is interpreted as a half-press and thus going to the next mode.
This is kind of an old thread so I donāt remember it real well, but Iām sure there was somebody that said they added a bleeder resistor and the light worked normally. Maybe they were wrong or Iām just remembering it wrong?
You remembered it right :person_facepalming: , look what I just found in my stash?
ā¦with perfectly functioning UI with last mode memory. And now I remember what the problem was: another X2R I modded with a FET-driver, on top of the stock charging board. All ki d of things went wrong there, including the lighted tail. Later I did a lighted tail on a stock X2R and that went fine. In the light in the pic I found that I used a 670 Ohm bleeder, I found a place for it on the spring-side of the driver.
Iām a night person. Assuming your a day person, then you and I are probably awake and asleep at very simular times. So it just SEEMS like Iām awake all the time.
So, guys, Iāve tried to remove the driver side retaining ring on my Astrolux C8. Iāve tried doing it clockwise, counterclock wise, but nothing works.
My hemostats manage to unscrew retaining rings on every light I have, except this one.
Some help would be very thankful.
@Geuzz, there is this:
A bin lower than the MTN Electronics bin, but much cheaper including shipping.
Iām just thinking, but being a small thing, wouldnāt it be possible to ask someone from US to buy it for you them send in a normal envelope as a letter?
Unfortunately, buying from MTN has a very expensive shipping, so that could be some alternative, if there would be no damage for the LEDā¦
Would not kill it, but overdrive by quite a bit if you were to use alkaline AAs. DONāT PUT IN LITHIUM AAs though. Their open circuit voltage is 1,8V, so that would be 3,6V and probably kill the LED instantly since it draws very low currents.
