Had my LT1 for a few weeks now, it’s a great lantern. I was 303 on the list, mine had the bridged and badly wiped solder bridges, so I soldered all of them.
I’ve looked but can’t find the answers to the following questions:
1) Is the temp sensor on the main driver board or the LED mpcb? With all bridges soldered, the top gets fairly warm on the highest level.
I’m just wondering how reliable the thermal protection is, I know I’m running this hard on the highest possible mode so it’ll generate some heat.
2) I’ve had rare instances of strobing when tightening the battery tube after replacing cells or mechanical lockout, it looks quite cool white- similar to the confirmation flash but obviously repeated at (guessing) 8 hz. Button unresponsive while in mystery strobe mode.
I’ve recently cleaned the +’ve contact and not had any repeated strobing since, but as it was a rare problem, are there any other things I can try if the issue re-occurs?
3) This is my first true Andúril lightso I have nothing to compare to- is it normal for the Sunset mode to progressively step down or is it supposed to be a gradual ramp?
I find the sudden steps a bit distracting.
On a slightly (un-)related note to sunset mode, I picked up some cheap 2xAA fairy lights the other day with a “6hr on-18hr off, repeat” mode so that they come on and switch off automatically.
I’d probably use a similar mode on the LT1, especially with user configured brightness and a sunset ramp at the end of the “on” period.
I’d also love to see a tint ramping sunset (Bright, neutral white ramping down to dim and warm) followed by 8 hours of standby and a sunrise ramp.
Going to have to start to learn to code at this rate
