I bought it because it is an ugly flashlight with a great UI - it will take all the bangs and scrapes that I can’t bring myself to have happen to my “pretty” lights
I might get it just for the heck of it. Roll the dice. If I don’t like it, I can always give it away. At the very least it does have a nice UI. It’s probably the only Narsil base light that has built-in charging from the factory.
It stops short and uses a double click to turbo. Thus far there has been an vast majority approval of this method both from the feedback I have gotten directly and from the manufactures.
Naturally some prefer the ramp go all the way to turbo and there is nothing wrong with that but for Joe public I feel that the ramp stopping short is the better option.
I modded both my S42 with lexel’s driver…I think that’s still the better way to go. It has better components and better looking of course. I converted one into a triple, and plan on doing the same thing to the other one as well.
I like the finger grooves on the battery tube and think it makes the light look better. And I can live with the bezel if that’s what is going to ship. Not that big of a deal to me.
Is this wrong stuff from the old S42?
I see problems:
You can’t ramp from off, it shuts off after 1.5 seconds.
You have two electronic lock outs: NarsilM and breathing light.

Can you test this on the prototype?
I hope Banggood wrote BS
Yes, that is just a copy / paste from the old S42.
They decided for some reason to wire the LED’s so that both of them are used for the charging and Narsil does not get an LED in the switch. In fairness though I did not realize I would need to specify this in detail until it was too late.
The driver uses narsil 1.3 and all functions are the same. TomE just had to make some back end changes to work with the different pinout that this driver used.
It does have the normal lockout function in Narsil but nothing more.
The switch LED’s only light up if you plug in the USB for charging. You can change this by moving one of the wires on the driver if you desire to re-enable the Narsil indicator LED.
