That is the beauty of Anduril, it does all sorts of things and manages to give you all that using one button. Toykeeper has done a wonderful job of making its functionality logical and memorable. I am at the stage of flashaholicism where I’ve learned a lot of my preferences, and any future lights I get will probably at least be Anduril compatible (so I can flash it, or swap the driver and flash it).
I look forward to the day that all my lights have the same UI, this lantern included.
I agree! Keep seeing new throwers, and flooders, and “tactical” offerings, but as far as lanterns go, this seems to be the only exciting and promising offering out there! So glad to see this project making progress again.
And how easy (or hard?) is it to swap emitters? What’s the mcpcb and how is mounted? I’m curious since I’d like to try other emitters. I need something that can get to 5700K+ range for daytime usage.
Here are the additions to the interest list since last Sunday evening. New additions to the list (see post #1) or linked spreadsheets will not show up until next Sunday’s although they will be added to my database throughout the week.
Reminder that anyone who hasn’t done so should check that their BLF name is correct on one of the linked spreadsheets.
Any chance of a schedule function being implemented into the firmware? Would be nice to have it automatically turn on from dusk to dawn. The AVR timers aren’t great for accurate timekeeping but they might be close enough for a rough schedule function.
No. The AVR timers are more than not-great. They randomly gain/lose something like an hour per day unless driven from an external clock source. It’s not close enough for a schedule function.
Maybe V2 can have a light sensor or something, but it won’t be feasible for V1 to turn on automatically at night.
