The only way I know how to check is the usual way, by accident, but Iām really good at checking that way. :cry:
Thanks, I donāt know if thatās good or bad either, but it looks like itās fairly low?
Nice!
That is the 2 milliamp setting. There are 1000 micro amps in a milliamp (had to look up because this stuff is hard to remember, lol). 1 milliamp is pretty high drain. The Q8 has 125 micro amps drain and it is perfectly fine, very low. This shows 9 microamps which is super low. I donāt even know how the mcu can be running on that even in its sleep mode. (It has to be partially running so it can detect a signal from the switch and turn itself on)
That sounds awesome to me at any kelvin :sunglasses: Were could one fine those emitters available, SST-40.
Kaidomain has them: http://www.kaidomain.com/p/S026881.Luminus-SST-40-N4-BA-White-6500K-LED-Emitter
I just made a triple with them: Mod: Olight SR Mini with triple SST-40 and host bypass. Three of them in a reflector light like this is very enticing indeed
3-SST-40 are pretty Shocking coming out of a MMU X3 specially if your on the receiving end! The 21700 hits at 24-25amps and with the FETDD SIR800 guppydrv.program on Turbo/Strobeā¦.it makes for a
Fist full of Lightning coming out of this thing!
I have a Convoy Triple SST-40 Optic it is bright but nothing like whats coming out of a triple reflector light! Kaidomain has the even higher kelvin 7500kās I just might swap out the 6500kās for when I get the timeā¦.
Maybe Sofirn can come out with a XM triple board for the C8F too! :+1:
I have to say Iām impressed with Sofirn too, this is one of the most interesting lights out there. And also, well done. Not so long ago they had good light, but they were willing to make a number of big changes to improve it.
Now if they ported one of BLF ramping UIs to their driverā¦. I view ramping as the proper way of using e-switch and overall I think our UIs are simply very well done.
Yep ramping is great for e-switch lights, I like Narsil Lexel built T/A drivers in Big lights. But the D4V2 and the Q8 double click to Turbo has a lag/ hesitation going into Turbo, the Lexel built T/A Narsil drivers are instantaneous.
Turbo lag in a flashlight!
Hahaa I know Iām more of a NOS guy myself! :+1:
I like both turbo and big displacement NA engines
Iāve had a little boy racer, ford escort cosworth with the engine and turbo tuned up to about 500 hp. I really loved the noise of the turbo spooling up during slight lag and then the kick and the ass when it got up to speedā¦ but turbo lag in a light? Nah, I think Iāll pass on that
Sorry for offtopic again! I like old fords I had 4 sierras, two Scorpios. One scorpio still mine. 2.9 V6 estate.
The escort cosworth basically a shortened sierra cosworth with escort body. And now I have a Volvo S70 T5 turbo with the scorpio. Oh that 5 cilynder sound with BOW. ā¦
Sorry for the continued off-topic chatter, but yesā¦ I love me some old Fords! The 255 flathead in my ā49 wonāt be racing anytime soon thoughā¦
Flathead V8, man those were the days! My Dad had a ā37 Cadillac most of my life with a flathead V8 in it. The hood had front to rear panels that lifted and folded in half, propped openā¦. one on each side of the engine. Big Teardrop headlights. Dad would prop open the hood on both sides so you could see the engine running, couldnāt hear a damn thing, then heād balance a Nickel on itās edge on TDC of the teardrop headlight and let it sit there, engine idling. Iāve seen people say it wasnāt running, he must have a small electric motor turning the pulleysā¦ heād reach in and grab the carb feed and rev it up, Nickel still sitting on the round teardrop headlight. It was the smoothest gasoline engine Iāve ever seen.
Edit: Yes, I grew up with my Dad in the Antique Car Club, weāve been to car shows in many states, Iāve seen more old cars in full restoration that I can remember. The old boat tail Duesenbergs were a favorite of mine, with big long engines and flex tube ss exhausts exiting the side of the hood then disappearing under the running boards.
Grrrrrrrowwll!
Oh the days, when a car was the epitome of styleā¦
I miss the sound of those big unbridled enginesā¦.
This is what my Dad had for so many years, we rode in it in the 4th of July parades that Belton TX is famous for, when I was a kidā¦
Dad sold it to the son of an old friend who is fully restoring it from the ground up (as if it needed it) He found that even in 1937 the original exhaust was ceramic lined, had a bear of a time finding someone to do that on the new exhaust to make it fully true to the original.
For those thatāve never seen a flathead V8, Cadillac styleā¦
And whyād they do away with hood ornaments, anyway?
Sweet :) Thank you for the information. Iāll pick up a few of these for my next build :)
Yeah, theyāll be no nickel-balancing on my flathead. Itās less āpurring kittenā and more ācantankerous muleā. Iām not old enough to remember those days (I was born in the 80ās), but early cars were really works of art. And now we have cars like thisā¦ whatās wrong with us?
Some sweet pics (and rides) there, Dale. I donāt think Iāve ever gotten to see a Caddy Flathead. Very nice!
It wasnāt all glory days, when we were little Mom and Dad made us dress in the style of the 20ās and 30ās and participate in Antique Car Club fashion shows. Big crowds, like the Omaha Hilton, and the clothes sucked! Hated it. My little sis ate it up though, of course. lol
