Could we perhaps come up with a different config list of mode groups for Convoy’s 12 group firmware, most of it is groups no one would use.
I’d especially love that 50% level in with the 100, sure it may not be a big visual difference, but it allows for longer runtime and longer bursts than 100
Also each blink in config represents each group, it’s way too slow as it is currently
How I would love a group where the low, med, high could be configured by the user. Like a ramping menu to set the brightness.
Personally I think the 0.1, 1, 10, 35, 100% spacing works well. 35% on the 5A versions is approximately where the lights balance due to thermal limiting, so I set it on 35% and know that the brightness will be relatively stable for night photography. The only improvement I would like to see is a constant frequency strobe instead of the terrible alternating/two frequency strobe.
I guess it depends on what it’s being used for. I’m a dealer and stock the C8+, L21A & L21B for hunting, so 50% allowing a longer duration is far better than a short burst on 100. For example the 5A driver paired with the NM1 gets 3 minutes at 100, where 50% gets quite a decent amount longer and when you’re out searching for animals you need the extra range than what 35% provides.
At the moment I’ve discussed with Simon to get the SST40 ramping firmware on the Osram red model. The 100% level is too bright for closer range and it’s spooking the animals, and 20% is far too dim to be useful. Having adjustable levels is going to be awesome. Currently the 100% level is 280 lumens and the 20% level is only 20 lumens, so it’ll be great to have access to everything in between.
I get that the 35% suits general use, but it has been brought up quite a few times for others also. It’s not always about the maintained temperature, it’s also about runtime
Yes, but it would be great if it was an additional UI on the 12 mode groups so people have a choice as to what they prefer. That would be the ideal driver I reckon.
Have 3 levels that are user configurable, I reckon that would be quite popular.
Some improvements can be made on the modes on the 12 group driver, but what i really wish for is battery check with 4 or 5 quick half clicks. I have 4 of these installed and always use group 5 no memory. Temperature step down should be able to be disabled or adjusted.
Ramping driver is quite nice for “tactical” use even with reverse switch. It can be improved with two way ramping and 4-5 click special mode access.
Funtastic, some interesting UI suggestions! Definetly agree a review of the various modes would be nice.
I’ve just received a M21B GT FC 3000-3200K and S2+ sw30k, really loving the warm tints + hi cri.
Have been running the UI on the default mode with memory mode turned off. I find this very usable and I can get into battery check easily enough (after a short epileptic episode) which is a nice feature.
