Let me just say, that I have known all along that my RRT-01 is not regulated, and I still love it anyway.
I dont think it is necessary to abandon the Clemence-01 simply because of discovering what has been true all along.
the lights drift, within a range that represents no more than one hop on the HDS dial, and generally much less. the HDS dial hops 50% for each of 24 steps through its range.
I prefer the RRT-01, in fact I VASTLY prefer the RRT-01, and that is after becoming fully profficient in HDS speak and HDS programming… Im not just making this stuff up as I go along.
I made a conscious, fully informed decision to embrace the RRT-01, despite its magnetic drift characteristics…
some of you may recall that in the past I greatly resisted accepting the unregulated output, but in my real world use, when the light drifts, if I notice, I just adjust the dial again.
its not as big a deal in actual use as it seems to some of us who are focused on the minutiae and numbers that describe a flashlight feature set.
flashlights are not precision instruments. Not even an HDS runs fully regulated. They hunt up and down all the time within what for most people is a not noticeable range of 2%. Plus they use PWM on low modes, that some people can actually see.
The constant current flicker rate of the RRT-01 is less noticeable, with the naked eye than an HDS.
all that to say, stay the course, do not abandon ship. Trim the Sails, full speed ahead.
if you build it they will come
a Clemence-01 is still a class act, no matter what the reality of the RRT-01 driver entails.
Its a Great UI! Go for It!
