“So I’ve been making a ramping UI for clicky lights.”

Thanks Jason, that is indeed what I was forgetting…. loves me some ramping so if a UI features ramping then I reckon a mech clicky is out. :wink:

Is there any switch circuitry that is so efficient it uses less than the power than the self discharging rate of the battery?

Yes, it already exists in the BLF Q8 and BLF GT, and Emisar lights.

I thought so. So what cons are there since it doesn’t drain any power?

It’s not switch circuitry, it’s driver circuitry.

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.

Are there any plans to provide the light as host or at least without the LED if the user wants to use a different LED?

Certain drivers have ultra low electronic switch parasitic drain. Only a few though. If one is planning to use a different driver then things change, parasitic drains can become quite large.

I asked because I may be changing the driver in my GT mini and it may be preferable due to the UI for me to use a mechanical switch. The SS ring around the rubber boot is press fit in the GT mini, not recommended to remove it and I’m sure it wouldn’t be easy to do, might even be loose upon trying to reassemble. Still though, it may be possible to approach the situation from another angle…. :wink:

like the uncomfortable question still unanswered, i wanna know finally is the shipment for EU/GER Customers accomplished??

No, you can read here on last messages : [M4Ddeal active] : Lumintop GT Mini - 2 authorized deals

what do you mean, they ship worldwide ?

Yes they ship ww, what is problem ?

Thanks…

What do you mean ’McLight’

What “uncomfortable question still unanswered” are you referring to??

teacher, uncomfortable unanswered question…Is it MINE?

lol

Neal got the first 150 lights today from the factory and prepares the orders during the weekend

maybe some more arrive tomorrow

Monday the shipping company can pick up the parcels to export - when we get the tracking numbers back I forward them to you (will take some days)

Thanks, Martin

Copy, thanks i appreciate that…

M4D M4X great news atleast things are moving.

No sir…… NOT YOURS. :wink: The one I quoted. :smiley:

I did not realize you had even asked an “uncomfortable unanswered question”…… :stuck_out_tongue:
