I like the finger grooves on the battery tube and think it makes the light look better. And I can live with the bezel if that’s what is going to ship. Not that big of a deal to me.
Is this wrong stuff from the old S42?
I see problems:
You can’t ramp from off, it shuts off after 1.5 seconds.
You have two electronic lock outs: NarsilM and breathing light.

Can you test this on the prototype?
I hope Banggood wrote BS
Yes, that is just a copy / paste from the old S42.
They decided for some reason to wire the LED’s so that both of them are used for the charging and Narsil does not get an LED in the switch. In fairness though I did not realize I would need to specify this in detail until it was too late.
The driver uses narsil 1.3 and all functions are the same. TomE just had to make some back end changes to work with the different pinout that this driver used.
It does have the normal lockout function in Narsil but nothing more.
The switch LED’s only light up if you plug in the USB for charging. You can change this by moving one of the wires on the driver if you desire to re-enable the Narsil indicator LED.
The prototype tube does look better. Even the production light is sorely tempting me, though. I’m not usually up for this type of light, but wouldn’t mind an easy way to try the Narsil UI.
