Yes, the free travel issue is what Iâm referring to. If most or all have switches like this, then I can live with it also. Just want to be sure I didnât get a bad light that should be returned.
I got a black (sample), gold, gold, and silver. Only one of the gold has it, but I donât recall offhand if the silver does. Black, definitely not.
Yeah, someone compared it to the button on a DSLR camera, a half-push of nothing and then the other half-push to activate. Personally, Iâd like to get rid of the âslopâ, but it doesnât bug me⌠too much. No idea why some do and some donât. Possibly slightly different parts (eg, switchcap) in different batches.
At least itâs springy and not just rattling around, though. If it were rattling around from âfully extendedâ to the half-push point, thatâd totally bug me.
What would be awesome is if the half-push point would be a momentary-on, or something functional like on some Nitecores (MH20, P30, etc.). Then, it actually does something. :laughing:
Is it me or my eyes deceiving me? The color is not gold at all rather gun metal greyish/worn brass color?
And it changes quite a bit, based on ambient light, yep. Weird, but I like it.
Has anyone drawn a picture chart of the user interface?
Nope, your eyes are apparently OK.
Whatever ones calls itâŚâŚ It is a GREAT color!!!
Ordered the gold lights, canât wait to see how they look. All of my lights other than my Emisars, BLF-348âs, and S1 are black. Thanks, Sofirn.
So, I ended up returning my gold light for a refund. Didnât want a replacement because of some others having play in their switch also, so didnât want to chance the same issue again. The switch on mine was definitely wonky with the excessive free travel, and after playing with it for a couple of days, it was also hit or miss if I could double click it just right (super fast) to get it to go into turbo mode. Again, a really nice looking light, especially the color, but I just wish it had the same quality of switch that is on my SP10B, which has no free travel and easily goes into turbo, and is a great little light.
So âhighâ is only 500 lumens? Thatâs disappointing.
Please PM me the code
There is a mistake in the graphic above. The levels in mode group 1 are correct but it doesnât show turbo. Double click gives me over 1100 lumens.
In mode group 2- ramping, the max is over 1100, not 500. Ramping goes all the way to turbo- no double click is required, but you can still double click if youâre in a hurry.
NOâŚ.itâs bright as hell on turbo. They just screwed up on the diagram.
Thought my eyes were deceiving me as in ramping mode max looked just as bright as turbo, thanks for pointing that out.
Whew, thanks for the info. My gold light will be here Monday or Tuesday. I knew the turbo was 1100â1300 lumens but I was bummed to think that I could only ramp up to 500 lumens. Glad to hear thatâs not the case.
Indeed.
If there was any doubt, the manual also clearly states that in ramping mode, âIllumination: 5 lumen to 1300 lumenâ
As for the switch, one of mine had the half-press travel new, and the other developed it with usage.
Color? If you like Convoyâs Desert Tan, youâll like this.
Color? It is a fantastic color. Really cool..., I don't think there is a name for this color!.
Simply beautiful to the eye
Now, only if there was NO glue....
Got my two gold lights in. Love them. Beautiful color, and excellent quality. These lights are a bargain. Some rings in the beam pattern. Super bright. My switch is tight. Thanks Tracy!!
Update: FYI, One of my lights has a tight switch, and the other one has some free play in the switch, so luck of the draw I guess. Still a great light, but I donât like the free play.
Hey litenutz, you asked me to let you know once the SP32AV2.0 silver are available on amazon warehouse right? :person_facepalming:
Yeah, they are available now.
