4 on each side of scale. If balanced then the 4 left has the odd diamond and those 8 are neutrals. Then 3 neutrals and three of the 4 left are weighed. If balanced the one remaining is the odd one. If unbalanced (you will now know if its light or heavy)take two neutrals and one of the 3 left on each side of the scale. If balanced the remaining one is it. Unbalanced the one that is heavier or lighter is the one.
If the scale on the first weigh is unbalanced the remaining 4 are your neutrals. Then I have no clue how to find the odd one in two more weighings.
Just curious (not trying to ‘stir the pot’ or cause any chaos. I don’t mind another few month wait) : how many lights actually existed [in their retail packaging, ready to ship out] when the sale went live?
I’m pretty sure that ’exact number’ is unknown to anyone here on BLF & will likely remain that way.
But this should give some idea. It was stated that Neal had ‘some’ on hand & LT would be delivering 200 more that would be shipped out after the Holiday. Besides that, unknown.
I’ll try & find that post about “some onhand & 200 more”. I’ll post it when I do.
Seems like a small number then. Does that mean good news for the firmware bug? That it’s limited to “some on hand and 200 more”? Or is there a huge stockpile of drivers, all with the FW bug and the exact lot of lights each of ours come from won’t matter in that regard, they’ll all be effected?
Seems like it is an issue if TK herself pointed it out as an example of how to report a bug and stated it had been resolved in a later revision…
A big issue, no definitely not, but to claim “it’s a non issue” sounds a little stand-offish
Personally I only use the stepped mode and I often hold to start from low and step up to the level I want (this is also how I instruct people to use anduril lights I hand them) so I fully expect to run into this bug.
I’m not trying to be negative, I read that other thread before making my purchase. Just asking if the lights not yet produced will have the same exact FW on them or if they’ll be updated to the already published newer version with the bug fix for this particular issue.
I actually ran into that bug several times, since I like the stepped ramp mode.
For me it pops up often when I’m in relative darkness and don’t remember what mode I used previously. I know that the lowest moonlight mode will not be bright enough, but don’t want to take the risk of blinding myself by just switching the light on at the memorized mode. So I press and hold the switch to bring it to moonlight and immediately release and press again to go one or two steps brighter to a usable mode. But the light doesn’t react to the press.
Yes, from what I understand, a bit less green and a bit more rosy. Unfortunately, that tint chart isn’t as informative as the Cree chart we often refer to, but it is the only one I found as well. Maybe someone will point us to a better one.
Are you tempted to get one of the SST models in a nicer tint? I think I am, but also maybe the XPL 7A. Of course we have both already ordered our 3D’s.
I think I will. And then if it turns out ’ugly bile green’ like that Convoy S2+ I got (to see what the SST 20 craze was all about), I will change them out to something I like. Giving the SST 20’s to someone who likes green.
I too, after TK & you brought up that 7A would make for a great candle mode; am thinking seriously about getting a 7A to be a designated candle.
