Sure. I have a few but none 380mA versions and all my 350mA 7135s are marked 35x as in 35 and some random letter, M, P, T, or whatever. Where as on pics in shops I can see on the 380mA versions that they are marked 38x and 350mA versions are 35x. Although those spare 7135s on a reel seem to come from a different supply/manufacturer and are marked differently 7135 1234 etc.
So I think they sent you 380mA version with 3.04A instead of 2.80A
Mildly lit room, but staring directly at the emitter and there’s not a hint of light… well that’s interesting. Still in the same room I checked again to be thorough and there is the tiniest, slightest bit of light coming out of the emitter, but it is flickering quite a bit.
Moving into a pitch black room, there is so little light that it doesn’t show up unless almost point blank.
And after turning it back off it’s gone again. Not even the slightest bit of light coming from the emitter in moon mode.
Hmm.
I’ll heat it up in an old skillet in the morning and apply some light pressure to the emitter.
I've got a question regarding the memory of the Qlite.
The way I understand the memory, the memory sets in after 2s of use. So if you use the light on mode 1 for longer than 2s, and you want to change to mode 2, you have to do 2 x short-clicks, as the first short-click will return the saved mode, which will be mode 1. I've read that there are mods which can transform the Qlite into off-memory, but that would require custom programming too.
What I want to know is: is it possible to remove memory altogether, but keep the modes. So as an example, when you turn on the light, it will always turn on in mode 1. If you use it in mode 1 for longer than 2s, and you do 1 x short-click, the light will go to mode 2, and so on. If you switch off the light and put it back on, it will start again in mode 1.
Yes, flash it with nlite and solder the 4th star. Of course, if you're going to do that there's no reason to pay extra for a Qlite, just get the cheapest 8x7135 105c and flash it.
