BTW, I have a 1.45 milliamp drain on one of my drivers. Is that considered high? It has had zero effect on battery life so it doesn’t seem to be a big deal.
Narsil is wayyyy lower, after you wait 10 secs or so from turn OFF. Did you wait long enough? In the newer versions it's reduced to 5 seconds or so.
It should be 0.021 mA without R1/R2. If you are using R1/R2, depends on what values you use. I typically use 192K and 47K - 10X less drain for the old resistor values, so resulting drain is 0.038 mA.
the locator LED/sideswitch LED can be used with tailswitch lights without a problem, that was its main purpose
for lights with no tailswitch a locator LED should have a pretty high resistor, like Texas_Ace wrote to get low parasitic drain, you can still get brighter that trits with parasitic drain af a few 100uA
Thank you for doing this, can’t wait to put them in to use.
EDIT : Just finished putting one of the drivers in a Skilhunt H02, re-flowed the original emitter to a Noctigon MCPCB, the UI is great with lots of options and the ramping is fast and smooth.
My driver arrived today, and is already in his pretty host : Nitecore HC30
What a wonderful UI ! I love the ramping, really intuitive, and fast at the same time !
Thank you very much once again Lexel !
The illumination is way lower than moon or firefly. If it’s normal, it’s not a bad way for me to tell if I have turned tailswitch off, since I don’t have illum switches.
v1.2 has low voltage protection, but no temp control. If you do have temp control, then you have v1.4 and no lvp.
I understood it that tail switch modes had to be programmed into the firmware. They are not user adjusted. Lexel told me it was a few lines of code that had to be altered to get the tactical setting.
I specified temperature control, and they were marked as such, so I guess it is V1.4.
I misunderstood those tail switch options as being user defined. Turbo is the only way to have a momentary function, so its not bad in that respect. And a quick click of the side switch turns it off.
Looking across my acreage, I can quick scan a lot of ground in momentary mode in a second or two with it.
The ramping is awesome, and a lot more user friendly to fine tune the levels than I expected.
The faint LED could be an Infineon vs SIR800 difference, guess we’ll see.
