Been meaning to grab one. I like the old one a lot, just hated the ramping, used it once and changed it back to modes. I’m interested to try the ramping on the new one.
32v2s, TK18s, pretty much everything but my Q8s, if it’s got ramping, I use stepped mode instead. Quicker.
My Q8s, it’s either something lowlowlow just to see in the dark, or 2click to turbo anyway. If I need anything less than its turbo, I might as well be carrying a light that’s smaller’n/lighter’n a brick.
Fascinating, isn’t it?
We all seem to have our “lighting habits” pretty much all mapped out, while most of the planet just grabs a 2buk plastic-tube D-cell hotwire flashlight and that’s pretty much it.

I had to decide which light to give the wife the other night to walk the grand daughter home . None are single mode on/off easy-pezzy. I’ve got to work on that. I’m thinking the Q8 would cover all the bases as long as she doesn’t get caught in multipress jungle.
I got the wife and kids a few single mode sk68’s for just that type of thing. They aren’t impressive lights at all but they give the muggles a way to make it home in the dark.
I got a bunch of those. Simple, stoopit, works. Nothing to go worng.
No µC to go mental on you, just parallelled 7135s and a reverse-protection diode. Great for pushing XP-E2s in old C8s (type I, with pill and 17mm hole), pretty much anything that takes 17mm drivers.
Get 20mm ones for SK98s if you go the aspheric route.
Oh, and order some springs if you don’t want to be stuck with button-tops. FT got ’em in a bunch of different lengths/sizes, just pick one that suits ya. No need to bypass anything or go with huge springs with only 1.4A.
That looks like a no brainer. Not too hot, on/off, hand to newb FL. Thanks.
PS: which angle TIR do you use mostly ? I’m thinking 45 degree is best for flood?
In that ali link look at the pictures to the left. On the battery side of the driver you will see 8 tinned pads in groups of 2. Soldering 2 pads together is bridging the connection to change modes in the mcu. The instructions for mode groups and which bridges does what are near the bottom of that linked page.
