@tatasal, I do keep a copy of the user manual (and had to refer to it during the previous posts) so I understand what you mean. I set mine up in UI3 and do not really do anything other than the tactical mode for showing off… There are tons of options with this light, but you do not have to use any if you do not want. I did spend some frustrated time trying to figure it all out, thus my post here. This is an impressive light, and UI3 caught a lot of flack for a while as the diagram did not make it clear how easy it was.
@saypat The “tactical” mode is one that is only on when the button is pressed and held. If you want to “blink” the light for a quick peek at something, this will do it as fast as you can blip the button. If you do five clicks and hold from off, the “tactical” mode is “only” 1A, still bright… In whatever mode/level you want to set the “tactical” mode, you just have the light on in that level and do five clicks and hold. You can have a tactical moonlight mode if you want… On turbo, it is impressive for showing off… The full turbo in tactical mode and an air horn would be a constipation remedy for those easily startled at night if you came up behind them, especially if they had Siderodromophobia.
Indeed. Though I don’t think there’s much to improve or update in M43 (except adding tripod mount screw?). XHP LEDs certainly don’t offer any notable boosts in performance in this kind of light, especially XHP35.
I was pretty sure they streaked across the night sky and you and Hank just went out and picked them up after they landed. Turns out that’s not the case. Who knew… :face_with_monocle:
