you can set the ramping ceiling higher.
Absolutely, the Sofirn Q8 comes out of the box this way. I really like the NarsilM UI, but look forward to the Anduri UI with the FW3A.
Yes. At least, when using the ramping UI, it’s not possible to set things any other way. If I recall correctly, the ramping UI always does double-click-to-turbo. Some lights have a ramp ceiling below 100, like the BLF GT stops ramping at 80… but double click always goes to full power.
The only one which doesn’t always do double-click-to-turbo is Anduril. When starting from “off”, it goes to the ramp ceiling first, and then another double click goes to turbo. The ceiling can be set to 100% though.
Ahh, but is it mentioned anywhere that Andúril is actually a better sword than Narsil was? If not, your logic is flawed 
That’s the first thing I did with it
Great input guys. The reason I ask is because the Fireflies light has both versions. Trying to decide which one to buy? Any suggestions from owners of light? Thanks.
The first batch of ROT66 used NarsilM. Later batches, and their other two products, used Anduril. There may still be some first-batch ROT66 lights available, but they’re not sold much any more.
Regardless of firmware, if you can get one with 219B emitters, it’s probably a good choice. It makes a very, very nice beam.
That’s how mine works so it’s Anduril. I reset the floor and ceiling. 1 click and then 150 clicks during the buzz/stutter and now when ramping up it ramps twice and when ramping down it ramps twice. What did I do wrong lol
150 clicks?
It only takes one click to tell it the ceiling should be at turbo. Setting the ceiling to 150 clicks would be telling it to set the ceiling to the lowest level possible, and I’m not sure how it’ll react to that. I wouldn’t be surprised if it had a divide-by-zero error or something and went on strike.
Lol it was on strike, beam in the shape of a picket sign and everything! I have some Narsil and Anduril ROT66 and I think I jumbled something up, figured it was easier to ask than make it worse. Thanks Tk, that fixed it.
I don’t know how to use Narsil. A bit because my English is weak and I do not understand the instructions. I can not navigate through the settings and change them.
Thats why I prefer Anduril. Because it has this:
Maybe if someone did a picture instruction for Narsil, I would try it again…
Does this help?
Specifically, the following files:
- NarsilM_CS_v12_Q8_2017-12-03.pdf
- NarsilM_DE.pdf
The first has a UI table with arrows between tables. The second is a .de translation of the manual.
I tried to learn from NarsilM_EN.pdf and from the GT mini instructions and it seemed to me so complicated. But this table doesn’t look bad. Maybe I’ll try this weekend. Thanks TK!
i am struggling to configure for the underlined portion above on a KR4.
I have triple clicked into batt check, double clicked around to thermal, quad clicked into the buzzing, and 1 click for lower level and 1 click for upper ceiling; however, i still have to double and then double again from off in order to get to full output.
Do you have any advice?
EDIT: looks like i might be setting the thermal instead
Mmm, took me a while to catch on. With 2 SP36es, yet. I thought I had a pair of underachievers.
Didn’t complain, ’cause that just meant hella-long runtime.
(RTFM? You gots ta be kidding…)
Wellp, I asked similar questions in another thread (fiicr which), and at least as far as my ’minis and ’micros, both of which use Narsim, it’s got killer features which I’ve grown to depend on.
1click - on
2click - turbo
3click - battery-check
4click - lockout
5click - momentary mode.
Momentary mode is killer, comes in so handy. Go snooping out back, quick flash’n’dash lights up what you want, no muss, no fuss. Especially with a ’micro which is, like, so small, and blows away (and freaks out) people who’ve never seen a light that small throw that far.
For regular usage, I just click on/off to its preset (which I usually (re)set to its lowest anyway), or turbo if I need more. And shortcuts to moonlight/low are also incredibly handy. Only tweak I did was set moonlight to level 1 (think 3 is default). So quick 1H gets more like firefly mode vs moonlight, and just holding it slightly longer (1HH?) sets it to lowest-ramp which is a bit brighter. So I think of it as 2 shortcuts, one to firefly, and one to moonlight.
Anyway, that’s why my personal preference is for Narsim, as I just use the Hell out of the ready-made UI.
Me personally, I can’t picture myself using CW or even NW light as a candle, or any other blinkies/flickeries. But hey, if that spins yer wheels, have at it. Most of those specialty-modes you won’t find in Narsim. (Whups, one other tweak, I did disable blinkies.)
1 Thank
So it functions basically the same way, except andruil does more 
I’ll be able to test narsim when i get my FT03 from BG
Doesn’t have momentary mode, at least not as far I as I saw from the flowpix. (Or if so, you’d need to control-alt-tripleclick to get to it.)
Right now, for me, that’d be a dealbreaker, and I’d stick with Narsim.
5 clicks to enter momentary mode but need to slightly unscrew tail to return to normal
So… same as Narsim?
I saw the exploding-bubble-thingy that said “momentary on / strobes”, and didn’t want strobes. No strobes. Strobes bad. Death to strobes.
(And the other bubble that said “Momentary lockout moon/low”. Umm, okay. Whatever that is.)
