How did you measure the lux with your meter. Did you point the light at the meter or ceiling bounce the light with your meter facing up against the ceiling?
And mine came with Simple UI as default. Curious to hear that yours came otherwise… Anduril2’s stock config is for Simple UI to be the default and Loneocean’s config files don’t seem to override that setting.
If you point your light direct at the meter, what you are measuring is the intensity and not lumens. Even my tiny TX25cvn with the 700lm W1.1 will measure higher than all the lights you listed. Even ceiling bounce measurements heavily favor throw lights. The E12R is a very floody light. I have both the E12R and MF01 Mini, the E12R definitely makes more lumens than the MF01 Mini.
Another possibility is you probably haven’t entered Turbo on the E12R. In order to get to Turbo, you have to double click after reaching top of ramp.
Referring to the E12R vs EDC18, the E12R should be throwier based on shear output and similar beam patterns. It’s likely he’s not entering turbo or maybe using a really bad cell.
Yes, amazing output, floods night into day. One thing I’ve noticed though which differs from my
other Anduril lights is that, this one must be fully ramped up to high before it will go into Turbo.
If it is not on the highest ramp, double clicking will only take it to max ramp, then if I double
click it from there, it just returns to the previous lower ramp setting. Not a problem
now that I know this but I wonder why they would have set it up this way? On all of my other
Andruil lights like those mentioned in my original post along with the MF01S, I can jump to turbo
from any ramp level.
That is not a Fireflies decision. It is how Anduril 2 UI was decided by TK and the BLF community. Though personally I dont like having to ramp to top of ramp inorder to double click to turbo.
I like the ability to access top regulated setting via a shortcut, but it would have been nice to reach full turbo as well from any setting. Example 2x click to top of ramp, or 3x click to Turbo
