I do not know the lumen outputs. I haven't tested them. They should be the same as any other direct drive quad flashlight --- 3,000+ (for a few seconds, anyways).
Aspire batteries should be here soon. They have shipped, but as many of you may already know they have rebadged the "1300 mAh" cells to a more realistic "1100 mAh" battery. It was very kind of them to tell me that after the order had been placed for almost a month and had already shipped.
That sounds good. I will place an order as soon as they get in. Are the Shockli 5500mAh batteries a lot thicker than the Liitokala 5000? I know that they are a tight fit in my SD26vn, but I would most likely use them in my U21vn and EC50vn anyway.
Just got the D4’s. My first ramping lights, I like them.
The Nichias get extremely hot within seconds the same with the xpl hi the s4 2b is a little better. With the 18350 they are measure 2.5 inches very short, me likes.
Only ramping, I cant find any presets.
As it ramps to its highest, it blinks, release button, press and hold to go back down. Been using a 30q and a 18350 purple efest.
:+1: thanks for answering. Too bad is doesn’t have presets though, ramping is nice and all but a pain to estimate run time while on the road.
I still might get one if it’s easy enough to reprogram the driver and if it gets available for EU customers.
Put new purple 18350 efest at 4.20 in the green nichia ran it until I couldnt handle it anymore 33 seconds.
Checked cell voltage at 3.93 cell was warm. Checked it again 7 minutes later and it is now stable at 4.03
Cell is still luke warm 12 mins later.
Yeah, you should be able to re-configure that driver to dang near anything you want, even thermal step down with manual setting. Tom worked very hard to get everything possible in it…
After holding the button down for 8 seconds it goes into menu mode. It will do 2 quick flashes which is only to get your attention, then a single flash and a pause, this is setting 1. Then you can press the button once to switch from ramping to modes and it will blink once.
Then it will do the fast double blink to get your attention then 2 longer blinks. This is setting 2, etc…
So don’t count the first 2 fast blinks, only the slower blink afterwards. The 2 fast is only to get your attention so your ready to count. This is what confused me at first.
You can then let it go through and finish all 7 settings or just hold down the button to exit the menu early.
Yes, but once you set it, there’s no need to mess with it.
Just look at the options and decide what you want. Ramping or modes. If modes, how many. Do you want modes to go from low to high or high to low. Do you want moonlight. Do you want memory. It’s not too hard. I love the default ramping mode myself.
Triple click and it blinks out cell voltage.
Quad click to lock out.
The special modes like strobe, sos, bike mode, etc… are double click, pause, double click again. So it’s pretty hard to accidentally go into them.
Narsil is great once you get a feel for it. I want all my lights to have it! Lol.
