Hey guys, I ordered the new 25 degree optic from FF and it arrived the other day.
QUESTION:
I cannot physically tell the difference between the new 25 degree optic and the older one. Would this indicate that I already had the 25 degree optic or is it almost physically impossible to tell the difference visually? Because when I hold the two optics in my hand and compare them side-by-side they look to be the same.
Just shine it against the wall and measure the size of the hotspot. Then replace it with the other optic and compare. The difference in hotspot size is very significant so it is easy to tell.
Got mine today with a 219B emitter. However, i noticed something weird about it, the light flickers for a few seconds on max ceiling. Do i need to return this one? Thank you!
Those 219b emitters don’t like being driven too hard. I actually kept my max ceiling set low as they will overheat and actually put out a purple tint that won’t go away when over driven.
I hate to be the bearer of bad news but the damage may have already been done. It happened to mine initially as well.
they should not “overheat”, are you sure it’s not just the anduril blink telling you it’s at the top of the ramp? I dont remember if the stock E07 firmware has that or not
You should probably clean everything with alcohol (springs, threads, driver ring, and your battery + and -)
If you are using 18650 make sure to use flat top with their black adapter. If you are using 21700 make sure it is flat top and not too long (Chinese brand battery sometimes are while OEM brand is shorter)
If you can use turbo for much longer than that, the turbo isn’t high enough IMO!
I can turn it down myself (with the button or with the software) if I want a longer running level of brightness. Turbo is for momentary use…that’s literally the whole point of having a turbo. Like nitrous on a vehicle. Use it too much and it’ll probably blow up, but it’s there for short bursts when you really need it. :sunglasses:
