I love automation! I think there are plenty out there that don’t trust a computer for some reason. I see it in my work all the time. We were migrating 100+ email accounts and the powers that be decided a manual process (Office 365 web interface, point & click for hours utilizing several staff) was safer than a powershell script with testing and logging (seconds to execute the script and utilizing 1 staff member).
Another possibility is that maybe the process for getting the codes from Amazon is not super friendly/portable. I haven’t sold anything through Amazon, so I’m not sure.
No, I’m trying to figure out how the project got into the situation it’s currently in, specifically with regards to the inaccurate manual included with the first lights.
Factory flashlight manuals are printed in such a compressed format that they can’t be read anyway. The only copy that really matters is the one you find online and can actually read.
Ordered my first one with amazon.de with batteries.
Thanks all involved to make this happen.
I think this one might eventually replace my coleman unleaded on camping trips.
3 more to come. Most will end up as gifts.
This project really shows if you get together what you can achieve. Been looking at battery lanterns for ages, and they have all been s!!t. I really think the BLF community hit gold with this one.
To all those complaining, one advice, get involved earlier in the project and offer to help. If not, shut up and be grateful for those that stood out.
I believe Sofirn started with a manual from a previous Anduril light that was close, but not the same functionally and had different hardware features. TK has made a bunch of LT1 specific changes/enhancements to Anduril, and those were not included in the manual they used as a base. As English is not the first language (presumably) of Sofirn’s team, they may not have known any different (Anduril = Anduril right?).
I saw you posting earlier in the thread helping with the manual. It seems you really helped to sort out the inconsistencies and make the LT1 project even better, and many here will be grateful for that.
Yup, things got a bit weird, hence my use of the term generic code since I was unaware as to the source and I wasn’t going to go back and try to decipher things, hence generic.
