✌ FREEME - ASTROLUX FT03 Mini XHP50.2 (4200lm) / SST40 Anduril AUX LEDs USB-C 18650 Flashlight - ALIVE

It’s not much point when I can’t ship out of New Zealand. The shipping rates kill it unfortunately

XHP50.2, Aux LEDs and 18350 tube in blue?!?
Sure, I’m interested

Wut? I never heard that before. I know Narsil is cheap because I'm not given anything by these Astrolux/Mateminco guys, ever - accept you freeme once in a while ( thanks!). So maybe someone is charging Astrolux for Anduril? It's the same hardware, no difference at all.

I believe it is there own agreement. Perhaps you should start working on new firmware and get compensated? Haha.

Stay in contact.

I'm a lousy biz man, to say the least. Good thing I consult and get paid by the hour, and my wife does the books. All I got to do is bill for hours - simple, and got only a few clients - all word of mouth, past experience, no sales pitching, deal making, etc.

All replied.

Ordered 3 one of each color 2 will be X-mas gifts

Thanks pal, appreciated!

One green and one blue ordered in XHP-50

Just got to decide which of the colours is going to gifted now.

Just ordered Black and Green ... thanks !

Interested if still ‘live’

Is it possible for someone to alter NarsilM to give the ability to change AUX lights? I’d like to flash the FT03 Mini as Anduril is too overwhelming for the average user. I could gift a light with NarsilM to my Dad but with Anduril, forget it.

I’ve messaged Ben at Mateminco suggesting they need to release two versions as they’re limiting their audience. Anduril is only attractive to flashaholics. If they had something basic it could be much more popular.

Would you dad care if the aux lights didnt work?

Haha, I gave that as an example.

I’d be selling these if I there’s an interest as a gun light with usb charging, most hunters don’t like too many functions.

I think I need to make my own firmware that suits my customers

I would be curious to know how the driver controls the aux lights. With older designs, a single output from the MCU would be connected to the aux through a resistor and the MCU would send a PWM signal to it. You had on or off. Then I think Anduril added bright or dim. Now we have color control and I don’t know how it’s doing it. Anyone know? I try not to bother TK.

How exactly is Anduril too overwhelming? Basic functions the same as NarsilM…

Narsil has simple ramping and has the ability to disable all strobes, no accidental 4 clicks to ramp config, if a customer enters it they could mess it up and complain. I’m not the only one that thinks it’s overwhelming, I see it mentioned on multiple reviews and Sofirn has said they’d never personally use Anduril as it’s too much. They only offer it because this forum demands it.

I’d see it so beneficial to have a mode like muggle that disables all strobes, config menus, but offers the full brightness.

I would not gift Anduril, either. It’s way too easy to accidentally go into a menu. Also, 2, 3 or 4 clicks can do different things depending whether it’s on or off.

I like it for myself though. I just think manufacturers are limiting their audience by just releasing one version with Anduril.

It’s not profitable to release different UI options. I have never seen it done. I would not expect them to ever do that. Especially after they already ordered all their drivers.
