With all due respect to ToyKeeper’s work on Crescendo, as it is a great firmware, I wouldn’t recommend it ! I also thought it would be like ramping an Emisar but it is not, and as she said above, it may be awkward!
I have it on my Lumintoop Tool AA and barely use it due to the way it operates.
Take a look the guppy3drv FW, installed in some drivers from MTN. I guess it will suit this flashlight better! But this is just an opinion
One thing I like in Crescendo, though, is the simple way it operates, but then the action sometimes get tricky and from a slight stronger click you get strobe instead of turbo!
I was looking at it from the standpoint of having instant access to Moon, Turbo, and the last used level (assuming memory mode) and still having the ability to set any level in between.
Where do I get a light with it installed to give it a test drive? (I don’t have any of the flashing equip.)
MtnElectronics sells drivers with Crescendo, and also sells the rest of the parts needed to build a light. Basically, get parts for a Convoy S2+ plus a driver, and put them together.
Or most modders on BLF could make it, if you don’t want to solder the parts together. It’s a very easy build, as far as these things go.
That sounds like the switch might be faulty or noisy, triggering more than once in a single tap.
Overall though, I agree, it’s a very different experience than the ramping e-switch lights which have been popular lately. Bistro is a safer UI choice, as long as the user regulates heat manually.
Is glow-in-the-dark gasket green?
If yes, does it bleed into any part of beam pattern? Specifically asking about Nichia 219C version.
Can gasket be black or white to avoid any beam tint discoloration?
Thanks!

I have found it would be better with a forward clicky switch and (maybe not…) slightly slower ramp speed, but overall I am really liking it. I will probably make a triple S2+ now…
Ohhh… I’ve been bit by the build bug… my wife is gonna hate this. :person_facepalming:
