I don’t know yet, but yes, that’s how it should look.
It looks like about 5.5 mA (3.5 months) on moon, but that’s with all 7x7135 enabled. It should be a bit lower with fewer 7135 chips. And if I understand correctly, it should ship with 4 or 5 chips enabled per channel.
Or there’s standby mode with the button on, which is about 0.1 mA (~16 years) at the brightest level.
That’s why I’m planning to add a blink when it hits the end. I’d want to add it anyway, because it’s hard to tell where the edge is… but it can also help make the auto-tint thing more intuitive. Hit the edge, keep pushing for a full second, and then it’ll go to auto. Something like that, anyway.
That prototype sure looks good. Thank you for the pictures TK.
Hopefully you receive your sample soon DBSAR, the wait must be tormenting
I do have to say the rather heavy frosting was a bit of a surprise after all the prototyping and R&D and talks and so on.
But this is a perfect example why samples are made.
By the way DBSAR, do you have any gear to test the light transmittance of the globe? May even help the communication as I’d expect a flashlight manufacturer to have such a tool to test lenses and whatnot.
These testers are a bit of a niche though as even from China they’re not that cheap, cheapest ones from Linshang Tech are around 70USD just as an example.
Thanks. I have a Fenix CL25R (which I just saw they discontinued) that works great, but this looks awesome. I love my Q8 so this looks like the next logical thing for me.
