Remember, this is a boost converter. It doesn't use PWM dimming like what you're used to seeing and it most likely changes modes by changing the feedback network, meaning that it has a finite number of modes. This is how all of the big multi-mode boost drivers I've seem work, so it isn't as simple as just programming PWM values into the controller. The soft start and smoothness between modes are just part of a big booster's nature. You see the same effect on the TK75.
Talk about fast shipping! I got the XP-G2 S2 D-D version. What a great light. UI 1 is simple to learn. About the same effort as a learning the Zebralight UI. Looks like my S6330’s stocky brother. Turns out that stocky brother has a lot more muscle! Now I just got to save up for the Nichia version.
I agree here. The hours that go into reviews do deserve some sort of credit along with the fact that he picked up the postage charge on sending the light to the next reviewer.
Now I regret not ordering mine when it was available… S4 2B looks awesome…
I hope Vinh doesn’t release a M43vn, this light deserves to be left stock. I don’t see the point of modding a light designed by modders in the first place.
You know he will and all of his minions will buy them like mad. His followers buy anything he touchea and for any price, its insane. I used to own a few of his lights a few years ago but lately its just gone way to far IMO
I am really curious what is he supposed to do? De-dome the LEDs? Change the MCPCB? More amps for such a tiny host so the thermal regulation kicks in after literally 10 seconds?
Hi,
this are my beamshots.
I try to get some informations about the distances.
The tree (1) around 50m
The rose arch (2) around 40m
The vertical beam (3) is 11m
One comment for the TK75vn70: The voltage of the batterys were 3,55V (measured half an hour after the beamshots were done). I couldn’t believe that the TK75vn70 has lost against the Meteor.
Yesterday evening I was in the garden again, without camera but with full loaded batteries in both lamps.
The TK75vn70 is much (visible) brighter than the Meteor.
