Just got the light yesterday. Very impressed! Would like a warmer tint but the 6500K version is OK if a bit on the cool side for me. Andruil is very nice.
AFIK, the default moonlight is the lowest. I believe I also configured it for 1. Still a bit high for a moonlight for me. That is my largest complaint.
I said this was going to be my last flashlight for a long time;-) OTOH, I may have to go for a 5k version and gift this one. It really does everything I want.
Can’t wait for someone with the equipment to do a full review with output and run time charts!
Does anyone know how reliable the thermal regulation is? Was playing with it last night and left it at the top of the ramp for a couple of hours or so. Seemed to be fine. A rather amazing amount of light for a great run time. Would like to see what it looks like in a chart. My eyes are easily fooled. That said I think that the top of the smooth ramp is truly a remarkable achievement. Seems to me that it gets sustained significant output on par with much larger lights that have better heat dissipation.
Yea that is the great thing about andruil. At first I kept if off stepped mode because of that. Now I have it so that the floor is the same in both and use stepped.
I wanted to test a TIR on SC31 Pro but so far the bezel is not budging. I have some lid grip rubber pads that usually do the trick, but not this time. I don’t want to resort to tools that will mar the finish. I also tried heating up the head to 70C by removing thermal limit, in case the heat would help break the glue. Still wouldn’t budge. Any other suggestions? Stupid glue…
The pine board method works well - I removed several bezels using this technique that I couldn't budge with other methods. This light probably could be done with one board and a strap wrench. But I would try the "gloves" first. The gloves worked for me with this light in breaking the blue glue seal. Think I bought mine at Lowes - this is my 2nd pair, first pair lasted a few years:
This one goes back to 2014:
This is a variation used of the pine boards for a GT Micro:
This A6 clip holds the light tight although it's not 'square' to the light and even teeters when clipped to a thick material. Positioning the clip tip on the charging port cover keeps it down and inside the pocket & improves retention. It's better to pull the light away from pocket then slide out v's just sliding it so as not to displace the rubber cover.
I prefer the clip style of a Nitenumen light (although probably not the originator of the design)
Here it is from turbo (I just read your post closer and can run it at top of ramp later). This graph is adjusted to what manufacturer says is the max output:
I haven't adjusted the temperature setting as it came to me. I believe step-down is around 39 degrees Celsius.
