Put me down for one please.

Any plans for a 18500 tube :innocent:

Last time I asked, there wasn’t much consensus on how muggle mode should work… so I went with the simplest option. That can change, if people want it to. Some options:

• Dead simple style: On/off only, ~150 lm. <— current option
• Traditional style: Low/med/high/off sequence, 10/80/300 lm.
• Training wheels style: Simplified smooth ramp, 5 lm to 300 lm.

About another mood mode, I don’t have anything particular in mind. But if someone has a good idea, maybe it can happen.

I’m not sure if there’s enough space left for optical programming or not. It’s definitely the most work out of the things I mentioned, and I’d need to physically modify this FW3A prototype in order to do the development. Perhaps after the second prototype is made, I can turn the first one into a dedicated development host. For now though, I need it intact for thermal testing.

I don’t like “traditional” style as muggle mode. So either “training wheels” or “dead simple”. I suppose “training wheels” should be simple enough to learn about after a few minutes usage, so I’d more likely go for “training wheels” muggle mode.

I would like to see blinks at A, C, and D. I like those blinks on my D4, and how I describe the brightness to people depends on the middle blink.

How do the steps work? Does it pause at each step?

It works the same as the smooth ramp, except it only uses the configured steps, and each step is held for about 0.4 seconds. It’s similar to an Olight Baton interface, plus the ability to go down instead of only up. If the button is held, it will keep ramping until the user lets go or until it hits the end of the ramp.

BTW, I’m not clear on what your vote is now. It was AD, but now it sounds like maybe C or None?

I would say none. Keep it as smooth as possible. By default it stays in regulation, which would be where, I assume, most people will use it at. There’s always double click to turbo for when needed

[steel_1024]

Vote B, C

Muggle 3 level is good.
L-M-H no memory.

I like the 5-300lm ramp muggle mode. If they don’t hold the switch, then they’ll never know it’s ramping capability and it will behave as a single mode.

Is muggle mode retained through cell changes?

[ridasrich]

1 please.

Looks fantastic and would give my HG2’s a proper workout.

My first post too - hi to everyone in BLF.

I find the light very interesting, but I’m not yet committed to buy it. So far I’m not in.

@MascaratumB

Would the passage from full regulation to FET work as in the Emisar D4, meaning: after passinf that limit, and depending on the use LEDs that will be used, is it probable to see a “tint shift”? I have the D4 with XP-G2 S4 3D and I experience that “shift”.

Yes, but the effect isn’t as pronounced. This shows roughly what kind of tint shift to expect on three types of drivers.

Thanks TK!! :+1:

I’m in the fewer blinks camp, I’m voting B and C.

[Strangel0ve]

Interested. Thanks!

[Speadge]

Speadge wants two. Thanks!

[Tender]

I agree on the training wheels muggle mode. Should be easy to get acquainted with, and for those who have difficulty with it would act as a very simple on and off mode

[sanches]

Please add me to the list for one.
I vote B, C and D.
Muggle Level - 3
