Sorry, the way the PL47’s aux LEDs are implemented, there’s no way for the MCU to turn down the brightness on them. It can only turn them on and off.
And, although there’s a screw inside to adjust the brightness, it’s not physically accessible.
So… the aux LED brightness is just random.
Someone needs to crack open that bezel!!

ToyKeeper:
I recall someone made a video overview of Anduril, but it was pretty long and probably could have been a lot shorter. Would have to search through logs to find the URL.
The “N” is the number of clicks. Like, if you want to enter a value of 5, click 5 times. If you’re calibrating the temperature sensor and want to tell it the ambient environment is 22 degrees C, click 22 times. If moon is too low and you want to set the ramp floor to level 10 of 150, click 10 times. I hope that makes sense.
now how do you set the ceiling? Do I need to click 155 times for the highest.
The ceiling is 1 click for the highest level, 2 clicks for the 2nd-highest level, 3 clicks for the 3rd-highest level… etc.
There are 150 levels total, and the default ceiling is 120 out of 150… or 31 clicks.

Thanks that clears up a lot . Also I love the lighting mode . Great work

I can’t get the smooth ramping to work on my 2nd PL47. Just flickers alot. Stepped ramping works fine. Kinda stumped.
Never mind, got it. Something so simple was difficult for a moment.

Turn mogle off per the instructions. It’s 3 clicks for smooth ramping and double click for turbo. That’s all I use.

Weird. Both of mine did just like the instructions said. Never know I guess. Guess everyone will find out when they turn it on.

Well one of mine also had a beat up 18650 still inside ( looks like a battery pack pull VTC 6) so they may have been testing for some reason and not set back to muggle mode.

Both of mine came in muggle mode. Nice lights no battery issues, definitely have to tighten battery down tho.

I wonder is it possible to verify type of LED used in PL47. I ordered one with nichia 219b, but light from it looks warmer than my ROT66 with same LEDs and it has tight hotspot, something I would expect from SST-20’s.

How do you know? Nothing has been updated for me on any tracking site.

My PL47 just hit the USA last week…I think I ordered on Black Friday weekend…from 11/28 until 12/20 there was crickets; 17TRACK showed it as waiting on the seller on the China EMS end all that time. This is how bad overseas tracking is. You have to be patient. Then there’s the slow cargo ship that got caught in a big storm, my flashlight went overboard, got swallowed by a kracken, he shat it out, a dolphin found it and used it to light his way to Nova Scotia, he passed it to some Canadian geese who used it to light their way flying to Florida for the Winter, they dropped it (butterfingers) over the harbor in NYC, it landed on a pimp who traded it for some rock candy with a lady who also works at a mail sorting center, it then fell out of her pocket and got scanned into the USPS shipping system and now I have some tracking finally from both 17TRACK and USPS. Whew. I’m looking at the positives, at least it has been working!

My kracken must have constipation…

try comparing these (camera setting was set to “daylight” white balance”)

Aren’t the SST-20 more powerful than the 219B ? They are both marked 2500lm
Edit: aren’t they supposed to be more powerful ?

LOL.
I do hope you have better luck once you receive yours. Mine has a flickering AUX LED board, among other quality issues.
