I find it hilarious that one thread on BLF talks about all the problems with this light while another one is taking orders for it. All at the same time.
Few of first batch buyers did receive a faulty light out from the box (FACT), but how many of those who raise concern about FWAA issue actually own a FWAA?
Ok. I was just going by the manual, as I’ve already reconfigured everything on mine. It says the default config for the simple ui is a floor of 20 and a ceiling of 150.
Does anyone know where the Anduril config file for this light is at? I’d like to see where the 1x7135 is set on the 1-150 scale.
A Cu/Ti model with the Ti stonewash finishes that the GTnano has would make me bite. This thing needs a Cu head though for the Ti versions. It barely get’s by with Al.
NOW for the bigger question… What about a SINGLE emitter version? Pretty please?
Hopefully my Nichia 4000k is decent. I have one nice tinted 219c 4000k and one that was super yellow and I couldn’t wait to swap it out. The good one is in another Lumintop light, so I figured they have access to the good bins. My order from Neal still says “unfulfilled” after 9 days. Did he take that long to ship for anyone else?
I received my 3000k fwaa. What a great size. I also seem to have won the 219c tint lottery, I never before liked any 219c, always received green/yellow ones.
The tint is a bit less pink than 219b, but easily as nice as 7a xml2 and xpl-hi.
As said the beam is very floody, but that’s fine for my use.
Quick pic below.

Sometimes it’s actually better not to put the best thermal grease on.
After all, without the best thermal grease you might get 30 seconds of turbo before it gets too hot. With better grease, may you get only 10 seconds.
Which is more useful? 30 seconds sounds good to me. Sure this means heat doesn’t get removed from the LED as efficiently, but frankly that’s usually not an issue. The LED can take a LOT more heat than my hand. As long as it doesn’t get hot enough to melt the solder on the star, I’m fine with it.
Hi, I just received fwaa 219c 4000k= definitely happy with purchase! But being my first anduril 2 torch hehe! Just wanted to clarify that ramp goes all the way to turbo?
BTW simple UI factory set for the muggles and for mass marketing, makes perfect sense to me. Thanks for looking forward TK!!
On both simple and complex UI, the default is ramp goes all the way up to turbo. However, on complex UI, you can set the top of ramp to whatever you want. Personally, I like to set it to the highest position available where an accidental pocket activation to max ramp won't burn a hole in my pocket.
In my case I set it to 50 steps below max. I can still access max turbo at any time using the shortcut from off, or the slightly cumbersome ramp to top then double-click from on. To change the ramp, I think the routine is:
turn on the light in complex UI mode
click 7 times and hold on the last click.
the light will blink once, then wait several seconds and blink again. Wait for the second blink. Then click however many times you want the max ramp to be below max. I click 50 times. The ramp has a maximum of 150 steps.
