I didn't for the pics. Dunno yet - didn't take the switch cover off yet - sometimes you can squeeze the switch board thru the hole. Even if you can't, I've dremel'ed out the hole a bit to make it fit thru on other lights. You could though leave it like I have it to re-program. You can get access to the MCU this way. The FET is somewhat buried behinf the USB-C connector.
The springs don't seem to get fully compressed on a flat top cell, so could probably pick up some power by adding bypasses.
The white stuff is thermal grease, not glue - actually looks like decent quality - moist, right amount applied.
Thanks Tom E, your pictures and your Description in post #150 are really really helpful. I ordered 2 SC31 Pro, i think I can try one for experiment/learning , I’m interested in Anduril-2
Got mine in 5000K as well. Great value overall, great tint with no green. Sharp fins and sharp lanyard hole, as is tradition. Lanyard hole doesn’t align with anything like it does on my FC11. Also, not happy with the smooth reflector. Thinking of trying to put OP from FC11 or a TIR. All in all, my new EDC with a short tube. Just need that deep carry clip now.
According to Sofirn, the button LED turns red when battery is lower than 2.8V. I am thinking, does it make sense? 2.8V sounds too low to me, at 2.8V battery is basically empty.
Is it normal that I can feel the light buzz in my hand when in rapid strobe mode? It’s like a vibration. I can feel the pulses. Does anyone else’s do this?
I got mine today. I wanted a FC11 style light with Anduril, and this fits the bill. It’s my first experience with the SST-40 5000K and it’s interesting how it changes tint. At low to medium brightness it appears close to 4000K, but as you ramp to high the hotspot goes to 5000K with a a slight violet/pinkish hue. The tint may not be consistent, but I like it.
For the price I paid during the Aliexpress sale, this was a steal.
