Received mine today and I love it. I can confirm that the secondary LEDs are brighter and they are more useful than on the D4S.
Best colors are RED, BLUE and GREEN because other colors are obviously only a mix of the 3 primary colors.
I hope not , why change something when it’s almost perfect, if there is a new version then I hope Hank will give the option of keeping ramping V2 instead of forcing anduril on us (me).
I dream about D4S with Osram KW C*LPM1.TG and Andruil - for a price significantly lower than a modded light.
21700 and Attiny1634 with programming pads would be nice as well but not particularly important…
Actually I dream about BLF light that would compete in that niche.
And I have a few ideas how to improve over Emisar.
I initially thought that the bright mode for the auxillaries was too bright, until I found them bright enough to help light my way to the bathroom, at night. I set lockout with bright red auxillaries so at night I can switch between Red or momentary moon. When I unlock in the morning, my auxillaries are usually in dim voltage mode.
I am sorry if I wasn’t clear. During the day when I unlock my light, I have the auxillaries set to monitor/report the state of the cell as to its charge. When I do so, I have the auxillaries in dim mode. (When the flashlight is mostly charged they are blue.)They are easy enough to see unless in bright sunlight, but then,why would you be looking at your flashlight?
Received sand, xpl 3A today and the 18350 tube.
Kind of a matte gold more than yellow/brown which is fine by me.
Aux LED’s are really nice touch. Its like a whole other mode set to play with.
Very clever blending LED’s to mix extra colors.
Even more clever is conceiving and writing software to control a chip to make all the options for a single button to control. Quite advanced from our younger days of “on/off”.
With the short tube on, pumping out turbo and having blinky lights of many colors—-feels like it’s something that a time traveler left behind.
Truly a minor milestone in flashlight tech.
They really crammed in as much novelty, utility and features as that little package could hold!
