in some reading on TKs site, it says when setting ceiling, that the count starts at 150, so 1 click is 149… iow, the opposite of what your chart shows…
Floor setting: Click n times for level n of 150 (whereas n = 1-150), i.e. 10 clicks = 10/150
Ceiling setting: Click n times for the nth highest level of (from?) 150 (whereas n = 1-150), i.e. 10 clicks = 140/150
IOW:
For ceiling you click downwards, for floor you click upwards.
I must admit there is room for improvement for the right wording. If you have suggestions how to express it in a more comprehensible way, I am all ears. :-D
When I was playing with the light on a highway trip (I was in the HOV lane… simplest kind of driving), I started fiddling with my light without reading anything. Realized the 10H to get out of simple into advanced. Then after going through a few things I’d memorized from my Anduril 1 FW3A, I tried 5C… and then it went into tactical mode. Well, 5C again didn’t toggle. NOTHING worked. I did a lockout in front and in rear… and reconnected after a few minutes—nothing. Had to leave HOV lane, so I put the FWAA aside. SO then I get to my destination, go look at the manual… and you have to totally break contact with the battery to get out of tactical? I don’t get why 5C isn’t a toggle…
Trouble is, when you’re in tactical mode, it’s a strobe. So as you press, you might get one or two flashes before you release… Can’t really send any code with it.
tactical mode just means that whatever mode you were in when you do 5C, that mode becomes momentary ON only
so yes, to get out of momentary, you cannot give a 5C command, or any other command, ONLY momentary on works… that is True Tactical… being able to click out of tactical is not tactical… See what I did there? LOL
fwiw, HDS Tactical mode also requires removing the tail to break battery contact. And an HDS, same as Anduril lights, gives a sigle flash during reassembly, to inform that contact is achieved.
Does anyone know the simplest way to tell Anduril from Anduril 2 running Adv UI? There's so much overlap, it's hard to tell, at least in the simplest way.
I’m probably not understanding your question, but if trying to determine which version is on a particular light your handling, 2C to turbo from off isn’t viable with AN-2 (without programming it as ramp ceiling).
Ok, I got 200+ lights. So managing 200+ PDF's is not an option, specially when the manufacturer's PDF's don't help on a modded light.
So picking one up, how do I know what it's running? I can't remember... So, one way I think is 15C for the rev #'s. The method has to be not effected by config setting changes.
I got NarsilM, Anduril, and Anduril2 - NarsilM is easy to tell, but telling Anduril from Anduril 2 is more subtle.
there are a few details in the Anduril 2 flow chart, that are not quite the same in the FWAA… for example, in the mode menu, there are three separate single flashes, not single, double, triple
here is my version of the FWAA flow chart:
.
fwiw, the Anduril 2 Manual instructions are also slightly different than the FWAA version of Anduril 2. For example, in the FWAA the thermal config comes after the beacon, not after the batt check… the flow chart Im posting has that corrected. I hid the 2C to Turbo command, under a blue box. That command does not work in the Anduril 2 FWAA (with an exception, that IF I first ramp to ceiling in advanced, then 2C will give 150/150… this is all very inconsistent)
I have a love hate relationship with Andruil. I think it gave our light features that were otherwise not possible. This all come at the cost of a steep learning curve. Personally, if I like a light (like most convoy’s,) I don’t care of it has a proprietary UI. One of the most highly regarded lights is the Zebralight and the interface is proprietary. Its also kind of weird.
