I can reproduce this little bug on my ROT66 and D18, but if nobody had pointed it out, I would probably have never noticed it.
I would probably have never run into the bug, because in the scenario you are describing I would simply press and hold until the desired brightness level is reached. There is no need to do two press and holds with a short pause in between, because AndĆŗril will start in the lowest mode, but then immediately start to ramp up if you continue to hold the button down.
Thatās absolutely right! I think itās mostly a reflex for me to let go off the button when the light turns on and blinks. I will try to use your method of holding the switch down from now on
I wonder if the bug was reported to Neal/Lumintop and fixed in a timely enough manner to correct lights in the next batch. Or, were a ton of drivers already loaded and whatās done is done? Personally, Iāve never used a ramped light before, and would probably be a smooth ramp kinda guy anyway, so it may not affect me. Iām just happy to finally get a chance to hold an FW3A and impress my friends!
Comparing the location with the CREE ANSI chart, looks like FD2 falls very close to 5D2. Not sure which 5D Hank is using in the Emisars, but I love it. Looking forward to seeing the SST color.
Not a good google images search, BTW. I only searched for the non-genital version "purulent furuncles" and it wasn't good. About what I expected, though, not knowing what either word actually meant ahead of time.
That is what I ordered! We'll see how this compares to my typical 12-15 day China ship times.
I heard a rumor (okay, I read something elsewhere on BLF) that AstroLux may have bought a bunch of "good bin" SST-20s. Wonder if that's making things difficult.
Flashlights are definitely a hobby for me. They give me something to do, to plan, to tinker with in my brain throughout the day. It is healthy to have one or more hobbies, in moderation of course. But I'm proud of that, because I have too many friends and acquaintances with no real hobbies besides watching TV or playing video games.
I hope the FW3A ends up being a strong player in my EDC rotation, and I don't think I'll notice the firmware bug (since it seems I'm getting a first batch light). If it really bothers me, maybe it will be the push I need to start flashing firmware!
Agreed with all of this. Itās a really intriguing hobby for me, and I canāt put my finger on why bathing an area in light from such a small handheld device gives me such enjoyment, along with all the intricacies of different lights, but it does. I canāt wait to get my warm white FW3A. Anduril is the best thing since sliced bread, and the 7A will be an emitter Iāve had no experience with yet, and Iāll probably end up with another one once the SST20 version is released
I donāt agree with the puerile genital funiculars or furry uncles or whatever theyāre called, though. Nobody wants that.
Tracking says 2 of mine will be here Friday 3 May. So far ever DHL from China I have had has arrived a day early. Soooooo, Iām hoping for Thursdayā¦ā¦
Hope I didnāt just jinx itā¦ . . Knock on wood! .
This kind of thinking is infectious. Especially when I realized some of the fancy, smelly candles my wife has bought cost 2/3 as much as this light and are not rechargeable, nor as someone else pointed out, waterproof.
Clemence is planning an E21A triple board. I wonder if the E21Aās could handle the 219 build of Anduril (FET channel limited to 50%). That would provide a lot of color temperature choices. 2700K or 3000K could both be great. If you really wanted candle like light, you could go all the way down to 2000K.
