The goal of lockout is to make sure the light won’t burn anything or drain the battery overnight if accidentally clicked, or if left somewhere with the button pressed. And it does that. The levels are typically about 0.2 lm and 5 lm by default, and the former has a runtime of like 3 months.
The HQ ProgKey Universal is probably the one you’re looking for:
The boards are available from Oshpark and they’re relatively cheap since they’re so small. I’d recommend attaching wires to the boards instead of a header block, because it makes the thing easier to fit into tight spaces. The block ideally goes several cm away on the wires, or could even just be omitted if you can get a ribbon cable to fit. Then the other end of the cable can be configured however one wants, to fit a variety of different pad layouts.
I keep three full kits wired up — one for a SOIC8 clip, one for Emisar’s pad layout, and one for Lexel’s pad layout. One of the three has something weird with the usbasp device though; it stops working after one avrdude command, and then I have to unplug/replug the USB port to reset it. I’m not sure where that usbasp came from though. It looks just like the two I got from fasttech, except it doesn’t quite work the same. Have been meaning to order a couple more, and hopefully they’ll be more reliable.
curious on the aux LEDs, how bright are they? About the same as the FF E07? Is it fairly noticeable on the low vs high setting? If I take my E07 into a dark closet and turn on the aux LEDs and aim it at the ceiling, I can’t see them on the ceiling. Looking forward to that ‘rainbow’ setting
That sounds… counter-intuitive. To shift CCT warmer you need to be cutting out more of a wider range of colors vs simply filtering out a bit of the green range
My current D4 has a XP-G2 S4 3D, 4885K which is no longer offered. I really like it and was wondering what would be closest to it now from Emisar? 5000K is my preferred temperature.
Just ordered my first Emisar (D4V2) after doing some research and am excited to have a true pocket rocket. My main EDC is a ZL SC600w MKIII which I've carried daily for a couple years now. I've been wanting another ramping EDC light that I could get the specific brightness for any given situation.
Oh, and I couldn't for the life of me figure out how to subscribe to this thread, so decided to post.
Too bad the XP-G2 S4 3D, 4885K is no longer offered. It was perfect without the upgrade cost of XP-L HI. I assume the SST20-5000k is green at lower levels?
