Okay I went for the copper Nichia version. It seems the light will be ready Oct 31, but the 18650 tube not until Nov 10. I wonder if they will ship them seperate or hold until they can ship it all together?
Iām also assuming this light uses the common 20mm triple quad mcpcb that lots of places carries. If I donāt like the nichia, I can always try something else. Maybe even a different optic.
It using itās own quad optic. Sadly it is smaller than carlco 10602 quad and bigger than a triple 10507 so nothing will fit perfect. The astrolux optic has 22mm diameter. The easiest way is to fit a triple because MSPCB is 20mm and the glass will hold it down or you need to reflow different leds to the factory MCPCB.
If you havenāt yet, you need to read up on the Narsil interface. Itās fairly intuitive, but there can still be questions like yours that are answered in the documentation. Unfortunately, I donāt have a direct link. But if you search around BLF, Iām sure you can find it yourself. (sorry)
Whenever you ramp up or down and release the button it will blink once to indicate itās using the 7135. It will blink twice to indicate itās using the FET.
There is a little glitch/feature where if you turn the light off during these blinks, the switch light will stay off until the next time you turn the light on again. This is not documented. Itās just something that was noticed.
You can also go into to the settings to turn the switch light off on a more permanent basis if you prefer.
Wondered if it was a glitch, the button feel in general is pretty w4nk. Hit it from an angle and nothing happens, hit it too lightly from dead on and nothing happens.
Btw, you can temporarily make the green light stay off just by turning the light off while itās still blinking after ramping. Thereās no need to be elaborate or go to minimum.
It does seem like your green led is not working. Try contacting where you bought it to see if they will do anything. Maybe they will send a replacement head.
Hmm, it sounds like the Green LED is not connected properly. They had to make a last minute change to the light to switch the green LED from the charge circuit to the driver so a lot of manual labor was involved. It is inevasible there would be human error on a few of them.
As was said I would contact banggood and see what they offer. If you know your way around a soldering iron it is possible you could fix it if you opened it up, most likely just a bad connection on a wire.
