EDIT : oh, and if it was just a mistake because the user manual was copied from the GT… How do you explain the “17W 4,5A” part ? I doubt that the GT is only 17W…
I guess
This is a problem with the internal work of Lumintop
This user manual is probably not written by LUMINTOP. (?)
Just like GT, it is written by BLF members.
When Lumintop is getting stronger and stronger
The organization and division of labor within the company should be more detailed.
Yeah I quite know how they work… I’ve done some translation for them, user manuals mostly.
They kept promise me a GT for review… I’ve never got it. And of course, I never had other models to review since this. Basically I worked for free.
Yet I trusted them once more for the GT mini…
I don’t know why it doesn’t work, I’ve been doing this for Olight For 3 years now, never had a problem.
“Worked for free…”
Interesting, the definition of work must be eluding me. And here all this time I thought it was mattaus, wight, comychair, warhawk, toykeeper, rmm, del and their like that were doing all the heavy lifting around here…
There’s no mechanical tail switch here, right?
I’m beginning to wonder why all the side switch lights use the electronic switch… essentially this leaves full power running up to the emitter at all times in a “sleep” mode when off. Have I forgotten why a mini Omten isn’t used as a side switch, breaking the positive flow instead of the usual negative interruption? Was just thinking, probably dangerous I know….
With a mechanical side switch, like in the Little Dipper series, you can’t use the press and hold for ramping. You would be limited to the tail clicky UI’s.
With the e-switch you do get some parasitic drain since the MCU needs to monitor the switch circuit, but usually that drain is very low like on the Q8 and GT. For a light sitting on a shelf most of the time I just turn the tail cap to break the circuit. No worries of drain then.
I do remember hearing of a ramping UI that used a clicky switch. You would half press to start it ramping then another half press to stop it. I recall they said it was pretty clunky to use. It might have been from ToyKeeper or Tom E.
I think the parasitic drain on the 3 lights mentioned (with switch leds turned off) are a bit higher than the self discharging rate of the battery. It would still take years to fully discharge.
Not too many. Some people just like certain things.
