Just got light.Impressed that it only took 14 days from ordering to door.
Need HELP! Programming instructions are not in sync with light.I quickly press 20X after light is on.It blinks 5x then pause and continues that over and over.Directions say One blink for corresponding mode.ex.mode 1 is 1 blink.I want mode 6.So i just thought wait until the 5 flashes and tap during the sixth time(mode 6) and I would get mode 6.It just goes to beginning of mode group that it is stuck in.That is group one with 5 levels and 3 blinkies that i do not want.
Any help is appreciated.
EDIT. THANK YOU RUSTY JOE.It needs 30 plus quick presses for config.mode, Not 20 like Alliexpress states!It is now programmed
Maybe just an oversight, Simon must get an awful lot of messages. He’s always got back to me and is very helpful with advice or any problems that arise.
I should review my Osram CULPM1 loaded C8+ in a NEW post (with pics!). AND I WILL… but for now I HAVE to tell the story of tonight with this phenomenal “change agent” C8+.
I was at my buddy’s hunting lodge here in Kansas tonight. I mounted the C8+ on a rifle with a better 16x scope ($500 range- DECENT scope). THIS IS USING A FET MODIFIED PRESSURE SWITCH = ZERO CURRENT LOSSES.
We went out to the side of his lake with the dam right at 1000 yards away. I dialed in the scope at full zoom… hit the FET pressure switch— OMG… we could see a friggin’ possum down by the water with this C8+ in pitch black night at 1000 yards! IF we had a gun that could shoot that far… we could have shot a coyote (with no wind, off a bench, with a custom loaded round… if we were lucky! BUT we COULD SEE IT!!!). It IS that good!
Wow, wow, wow! Nobody out of six VERY experience hunters could believe it! I got three orders for these on the spot tonight.
Convoy’s 8A driver is actually on a timer, it has no thermal regulation. At 1 minute it triggers the gradual stepdown over the next 8.5 min, resetting to 100% repeats the process
Installed into the Convoy Z1 and it hit 79°C on its 3rd reset to High and it just carries on the same lol. I’m almost finished my review on the 8A CULPM1 version of the Z1 so I’ll definitely be mentioning it
Anyone have advice for L21a with CULPM1 vs L21a with SFT40? I understand the Osram will throw further, but it will also get much hotter, right? And won’t the SFT40 throw nearly as well as the Osram? Also, does anyone know if Simon has plans to put the KW CSLNM1.TG in the L21a? Thank you for your help! You all have helped me with my selections. My wife says I have a problem with my flashlight obsession. Yes, yes, I do.
SFT40 is brighter, and have more spill. You can try it, I think it will be a good compromise between “I want a good thrower” and “I want to use my flashlight for something else than shining in the distance”
I definitely want more throw for this light, but if it’s too subtle of a difference, I think SFT40 is best. Thanks for the advice and I’ll check out that link.
