I got a black (sample), gold, gold, and silver. Only one of the gold has it, but I don’t recall offhand if the silver does. Black, definitely not.
Yeah, someone compared it to the button on a DSLR camera, a half-push of nothing and then the other half-push to activate. Personally, I’d like to get rid of the “slop”, but it doesn’t bug me… too much. No idea why some do and some don’t. Possibly slightly different parts (eg, switchcap) in different batches.
At least it’s springy and not just rattling around, though. If it were rattling around from “fully extended” to the half-push point, that’d totally bug me.
What would be awesome is if the half-push point would be a momentary-on, or something functional like on some Nitecores (MH20, P30, etc.). Then, it actually does something. :laughing:
So, I ended up returning my gold light for a refund. Didn’t want a replacement because of some others having play in their switch also, so didn’t want to chance the same issue again. The switch on mine was definitely wonky with the excessive free travel, and after playing with it for a couple of days, it was also hit or miss if I could double click it just right (super fast) to get it to go into turbo mode. Again, a really nice looking light, especially the color, but I just wish it had the same quality of switch that is on my SP10B, which has no free travel and easily goes into turbo, and is a great little light.
There is a mistake in the graphic above. The levels in mode group 1 are correct but it doesn’t show turbo. Double click gives me over 1100 lumens.
In mode group 2- ramping, the max is over 1100, not 500. Ramping goes all the way to turbo- no double click is required, but you can still double click if you’re in a hurry.
Whew, thanks for the info. My gold light will be here Monday or Tuesday. I knew the turbo was 1100—1300 lumens but I was bummed to think that I could only ramp up to 500 lumens. Glad to hear that’s not the case.
Got my two gold lights in. Love them. Beautiful color, and excellent quality. These lights are a bargain. Some rings in the beam pattern. Super bright. My switch is tight. Thanks Tracy!!
Update: FYI, One of my lights has a tight switch, and the other one has some free play in the switch, so luck of the draw I guess. Still a great light, but I don’t like the free play.
Hey litenutz, you asked me to let you know once the SP32AV2.0 silver are available on amazon warehouse right? :person_facepalming:
Yeah, they are available now.
