In the default configuration, the ramp stops at the highest regulated level and the only way to go higher is by double-clicking for turbo. The user can change this in the config though.

Can be added to fasten the cord

@JasonWW
Yeah, I was talking about the looks. I realize it’s still being worked on. Just putting my 2 cents in.

2400

In my opinion, it makes look better.

2401

One for me pls :smiley: Thank you!

2402

I love the look of this light. Is there any reason that a double-walled design was chosen instead of putting the driver board in the tail of the light? It seems like that would make the construction simpler and cheaper, as well as making it easy to make a version for an 18350 or 18500 cell, but I could be missing something obvious.

2403

That’s a neat idea

2404

You can’t place the driver in the tail because you still need two wires from the driver to the led in advanced drivers.

2405

that makes sense… is the second wire for the thermal sensor?

I’ve been using Andúril since ToyKeeper released it back in September.

I’m running it on three Q8s, three Emisars, a modded EagleEye X6R, and a modded Meteor.

Andúril is, by far, my favorite flashlight UI. :heart_eyes:

The FW3A seems like an amazing flashlight for the price. I’m on the list for two.

For non-modders, the FW3A is worth getting just to experience Andúril! :partying_face:

Blink vote: ABD.

I’d like to disable ramp memory, and have it start at 150lm like the D4 after tailcap reset.

Dead simple muggle mode.

2408

Some reasons:

  • The thermal sensor is built into the tiny85, so it needs to be as close to the emitters as possible.
  • It would need a double-walled design (or an extra wire) either way. The driver needs access to both BAT+ and BAT-, even when the LED power is switched off.
  • It’s kind of standard for flashlights to have the driver in the head end instead of the tail.

Ah, got it. Thanks for teaching me!

Please add me to the interested list.

I want one as well! Just went through 81 pages to be up to speed on the project!

2414

Wow, 81 pages is a lot… it takes a while to read 2423 posts!

2415

Also, I just realized that, despite being ~75% caught up, I’m still 122 pages behind on the BLF GT thread. :cry:

…

That “mark as read” button sure looks nice right now.

I am 240 POSTS back on the GT thread as I am posting:
I would say you can hit the button.
