+1. Love mine too. After a few months of ownership, Iād say itās my favorite overall flashlight. Itās very bright, has the best UI, tint, and battery life. My hatās off to all involved with its design.
I was responding to teach's post. I misread his posts to be a slight at Meld. Whether I misread or not, my post was not appropriate. I apologize teacher.
Unfortunately this fix only lasted about 48 hours before the LEDs both went back out. I fiddled around with the soldering iron again and they lit up, but then again died after a couple days.
Any recourse here for repair? I donāt think itās the LEDs that are bad, as probing the contacts with a multimeter set to continuity mode lights them up bright as day.
Yeah, after posting I started looking back through the pages and saw that people contacted The Miller, who helped them get replacement assemblies. The Miller seems to have been offline for over a month though, so I see joechina stepped up to offer help. I sent them a PM and will follow up with an email to chendongling@banggood.com if I donāt hear a response. Will keep BLF updated!
Glad to see this thread isnāt going away. The video about meld software was amazing. Not that I understand it. I donāt understand what Narsil is either. That mini Q8 that Everett had is really cool. Who makes that? I canāt follow the GT thread. Too long. I had to be away a few days because of the superbowl and I couldnāt follow any BLF threads.
Thanks SayPat for mentioning the MELD I had completely forgotten, I had read a brief comment some time ago, 2014/15 I think, so went and found his blog following your UTube link, so just wanted to say thank you,
Narsil is basically a ramping software for lights with e-switches. It also has a second user interface built in for discrete individual brightness levels.
That light in the video is the old Blackshadow Rook. It uses 3 AA or 3 14500 cells. I donāt think itās sold anymore.
