Someone asked before, and Simon doesn’t think there’s enough demand, he believes everyone just loves mode memory and can’t get enough of it. The only convoy drivers worth buying if you don’t always want memory are the biscotti drivers since they give you choices, but they only go up to 2.8a.
His new drivers are a huge step back software wise.
Yeah, on my biscottis I have memory turned off. On my Anduril/ramping firmwares it’s on, but that’s because there’s shortcuts to other modes. If it’s just on/off and change, then I always want to start at the lowest mode. Don’t want to blind myself because I either forgot to set to low the last time I used it, or to have to cycle through.
The ability to turn the mode memory off and/or having the ability to cycle backwards by doing a long click or double click would be a welcome addition to this medieval U still keeping it more then muggle friendly.
Bt, Biscotti doesn’t have immediate mode memory, or does it?
Those AAA titanium lights look nice! I’m not a big fan of the keychain attachment sticking out like that, but it probably won’t stop me from getting one.
The NCR18650GA is rated for 3500mAh, 10A maximum discharge current. Keeppower and EagTac both do protected cells with those ratings, and they’re believed to be using the GA cell.
In my experience, Keeppower cells tend to be fat - mine don’t fit into all of my lights. EagTac cells are slimmer and fit all of the lights I’ve tried them in, although one or two were a tight fit - rotate the cell until it slides in type stuff.
The other side of that tradeoff is that the Keeppower cells are significantly cheaper.
Yes this keychain attachment should be made differently, at best like the sofirn C01, at least like the jetbeam jet-u or DQG AAA (I don’t have much AAA flashlights to compare with).
Myself I prefer centrally placed attachment points and while I can’t say I like the current one, for me it’s better than C01 or Jet-µ or DQG AAA. But worse then DQG Fairy or Astrolux A01.
