Thank you Tom!!!
+1 Yup, this is very true and I trust the consensus of the experts here….
No, it just drops directly to the previous mode.
Thanks for the reminder. I forgot to update that after I added things to the code, so I updated it just now.
A short(ish) list of the light’s features:
Approximate runtimes based on DBCstm’s power measurements and a 2500mAh IMR cell:
can´t wait to hit the [order] button!
thank you all for your great work!
I'm really interested in this light. I've been reading the thread, but it's pretty long. Can anyone tell me the approximate level of the moon mode?
I know it will vary for different cells.
0.3lm-0.7lm depending on mode you are in
DING! DING! DING! We have a winner! Please put me down for 1 in NW
Tom E thanks for posting the details. I can’t wait to for this GB to come through
I’d like to sign up for a nw.
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.
Rolz - thank TK, not me...
Interested in purchasing at least 1 N.W. BTW, thanks to all who made this Group Buy possible

At Least 60sec, please…
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.
Thanks,

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.
Anything in that range is fine by me. Thanks for your efforts!
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.
When I initially checked the samples to see that they worked....
I thought the first one was defective because of the moon mode. It wasn't until I looked at the LED that I realized the light was on. I too find such a low useless BUT like you said there are many here that will rejoice at such a low. Hell, if your eyes are that good...you do not need a light
Besides Dale...we have our Max mode
Is it too late to join in? I can’t decide between NW and CW, so I’d like one of each, please! Thanks to everyone who arranged this!
