There was talk earlier in this thread of a single emitter FW1A sometime in the future, although I don’t think it ever made it past the idea stage. I would definitely be down for one or two if it happened as for me single emitter + reflector provides the best general use beam type in this size.
I’m guessing Lumintop will use the updated version for the next batch of drivers, but it’s probably not worth trying to reflash the already-produced drivers.
Chances are, people would not have even noticed the issue if I hadn’t mentioned it. It went unnoticed for months before maukka found it. It’s just a minor inconvenience which only affects one very specific UI flow. It doesn’t cause any significant problems.
Specifically, if the user configures the light for the stepped ramp, then ramps from off to the floor level, then lets go of the button… there is a 1-second delay before it can ramp up again. It’s only if they let go during a specific 0.4s window, and then press the button again within 1.0s. It doesn’t affect the smooth ramp, it doesn’t happen if the user simply keeps holding the button, it doesn’t happen if they let go at a higher level, and it doesn’t affect ramping if the light was already on.
HaHa, this must be some kind of shipping lucky draw. Ordered the same 3D version right after code received and the status of mine still shows unfulfilled, yet this person way behind me(803 exactly) not only get one but two 3D already.
If you really want the bare aluminum silver color, it probably isn’t hard to get. You can soak the light in Greased Lightning for several hours to remove the anodizing.
Before attempting this I suggest checking all o-rings and removing the battery though. You do not want the Greased Lightning to get inside.
