I got the same configuration and same issue with ano tint. Mine is ever so slightly greenish compared to the rest of the brown body. But I’m used to some variation from the old Natural OD days.
Funny but the beam off-tint intensity seems to vary with the available ambient lighting, sometimes more yellowish than others. If you are ok with a less pronounced hotspot, a little diffuse film around the edges (annularly) knocks the tint (shift) right out.
I searched for the same and there does not appear to be. +1 on that feature being +desireable /missing.
I noticed the same thing with the yellowish tint. I wish I had gone with 2 HI’s instead.
The user interface on this is pretty bad. They tried to make it similar to Narsil, but failed. Who thought it was a good idea to require a full press to turn the light on, and have it remember the last mode? I keep turning it on turbo, turning the light off, clicking the button hoping it would begin ramping up… nothing happens, I look at the light, release the switch, and now I have 1500 lumens searing my retinas.
Apparently Haikelite assumed that we would all know the exact mode we would want next time. It’s like Russian Roulette; I wonder what brightness setting I will get the next time I turn my lights on :person_facepalming:
Something I found that sometimes helps - BEFORE turning Off from Turbo, double-click to return to the previous mode then turn Off. Next turn On will return to the last used saved mode rather than Turbo (unless that is your last saved mode.)
Being able to toggle Mem would have solved that :-(.
So I received my lights yesterday. I only got to test out the white one (I also ordered a blue one). My white one came a little scuffed but it’s not really noticeable because of the color. I did inspect the blue one for imperfections but I didn’t notice any when I quickly looked it over.
I see what people are saying about the trit slots being shallow. However, on mine only the trit slot above the switch is shallow and the rest of the slots are deep enough where the trits fit in and are recessed. In my excitement, I installed 2 on the light, one above the button and another on the opposite side. I will report back over the weekend, when I have more time to play with the light and possibly have time to mod one of them.
A couple more observations I forgot to mention… The xhp35 hi also has the egg yolk effect, which a TIR would resolve. What do you guys think about converting this light to a 3v led instead and running one of lexel’s exsting drivers on it?
Update on UI issues.
I decided to just try an 18650 instead of the one I had (Accreate Practical GTF 3.7V 26650 8800mAh Lithium Battery).
Seems to work better, at least not going into strobe all the time, don’t know how it affects the light otherwise but seems to ramp.
Maybe the 26650 cell I was using is no good??
Maybe you guys could weigh in on this, give it a try and report back??
I haven’t tried my light with a 26350 yet, but it ramps fine. It’s not the best UI but I don’t think it’s that bad, but it could be because I saw how bad it could be in the MT09R. The SC26 could be improved upon but for me I can live with it fine.
Both of mine work fine. Ramping is not as smooth as an Emisar or other BLF ramping lights, but better than other companies are producing. How do you even get to the strobe? I have used a 26650, 26350, and 2x26350. No issues.
Also is anyone tryied using the Liitokala black 26650 in this light and can confirm its working? I have 2 thats just collecting dust so for this light they could work?
