Ultimately... :) .... Whatever TK says she is going to do with the code is what is going to happen :) I do not think any one of us in the group will not go along with her recommendation. If she feels it is too hot..then it is too hot.
Someone asked about LVP (low voltage protection). It does have that and even has a battery check feature in the hidden section.
I believe somewhere in this thread are all of the features but honestly I cannot say where. It is my fault that I did not include it in the OP. IF TK finds the time to list and post the features I will post them in the OP. With that said, the ability alone to go from 7 to 4 modes and reverse is the cat's meow. Even I, who likes mode memory, find that even starting on moon and jumping straight into max to be easy. That should even satisfy the 2-mode people :)
What this light does not do is clean the house. LOL.
Think about it:
Max people
Moon people
2-mode people
Bicyclists
Low Voltage Protection
Battery check
Like Dale said....this UI just needs to be implemented in ALL lights
I'm just glad to see "our" custom firmware make it into a nice production run. Everybody is doin what they are good at - from firmware to making drivers/lights. Of course TK doesn't make any $$$ on it - can't say Eagle Eye or BangGood are making much either, but if this gets pulled off where the majority is happy, we all owe TK something. I know she's leveraged some things from BLF or BLF'ers, but the majority is on her.
At my age, sometimes it takes me sometime to realize just what it is I am looking at:-)
90sec would be great, but thinking more about it (after reading other’s posts) - No stepdown would work for me too.
If I don’t forget that the pain in my hand means that I am being burnt:-(
The way that this light is built, I would venture a guess that it is able to stand more that I/We. - Great heatsinking will make the outside of a High-Powered light heat up FAST, if the Sink is well connected to the exterior.
I should have a sample to test tomorrow. I am usually able to get moon into the range of 0.2 to 0.5 lumens though, so it’ll probably be in there somewhere. It varies for each individual unit though, and also depends on the battery voltage… so any measurements I post will be approximate.
In group 1 with 7 levels, moon is so low as to be virtually useless (IMO) I have used it in a dark house late night, and outside. Even trying to see the camera settings up close and personal moon is so ultra low as to not be much help. I know there are those that will rejoice in this, and those that will groan. But really, it’s that kind of low…. easy to forget the light is still on because you can’t see the result.
In group 2 with 4 levels it’s not this way.
To rephrase it, those cheap little coin cell keychain lights with the 3mm tubular led? When the battery is almost run out? Like that.
