Just recurved received mine , is very nice!

A big thanks to everyone involved for their efforts!

I finally found a magnet that works really well. D83-N52 from KJmagnetics.

For installation, just stretch the spring out a bit with some pliers. Be careful not to pull it out of its socket. If you do, it’s a little hard to get back in but it can be done. Then, just slide the magnet through the side of the spring and it will stay in place underneath it.

This setup is plenty strong and it can reliably hold LT1 Mini up on vertical surfaces.

1585

I’m hoping some 3d’s a neat base for this and maybe glue a magnet into that

1586

That gives me an idea. I could 3D print a wider base for my LT1 Mini, embed a magnet into it, and then use that magnet + the magnet in the tailcap to hold the wider base on.

1587

If possible, print the base so that it can be stored atop the head when not in use. Like an inset ring on the bottom of the printed base that seats onto ring protruding from the top of the head.

Arrived today, so I ducked that problem. This light will get a lot of use! Thanks again to the team

1589

My mini’s arrived today. Excellent little lantern.

I am very pleased.

1590

There was a seller on eBay that sold base for the LT1, maybe he’ll make some for the mini. Very reasonable price.

1591

Light arrived, looks nice. Guess I’ll have to break out the 3d printer and laptop to see if I can design a wider base for it, if no one else hasn’t designed one yet.

1592

Just opened mine, very impressed and pleased with it.
Thanks to all involved.

1593

I just sent a note to the guy who did my LT1 base, on treatstock

1594

Working on it

1595

Just opened mine, impressive light for the size/weight. But I seem to be messing something up when I’m trying to finish my setup:

7 clicks when in standby in advanced mode should let me change the standby button leds from blinking to off, right? I know I’m in advanced mode since I can change from smooth to stepped ramping and I know I’m in standby, but I can’t get the standby button leds to change.

1596

It sounds like you’re doing it correctly. Run back through it once more.

Ensure you’re in advanced mode by clicking 10x, holding the last click, and continuing to hold it until the light stays off for more than 1 second.

Enter lockout mode by clicking 4x. It should blink to confirm the change.

Now click 7x to change the switch LED mode. The modes are blinking, off, low, and high.

Following these steps allows me to change the swith LED behavior in lockout on my sample, so I don’t think it’s a firmware bug.

1597

I follow those steps, and I even get a double blink of the button after 7 clicks, but it’s staying in what I think is blinking mode. It will keep doing one dim blink, then a bright blink, then repeat that pattern. Is that some different indicator function, or is that the pattern for blinking mode?

1598

That is the pattern for blinking mode. There is no other indicating function for the button LED built into Anduril.

Can you successfully change the button LED behavior when the light is NOT in lockout mode?

And just to be totally sure, we’re talking about the orange button LED’s, correct? Not the blue button LED’s.

1599

Correct, we’re talking about the orange button LED.

So I hadn’t tried to change the standby mode LEDs since I prefer to keep those on high and lockout set to off, but I just tried it now and I can’t change standby LEDs away from high. I did verify that I was in advanced mode by switching ramped to stepped before I tried to change standby LEDs.

I just tested my LT1 Mini and it will allow me to switch between stepped and smooth ramping EVEN IN THE SIMPLE UI, which none of my other lights will do. That makes me think that you may actually be in the simple UI. Just one more time, try clicking 10x from off and holding the last click. Then try changing the switch LED settings.

1601

Thank you so much, that was it. I should have paid more attention to the user manual and realized that ramp options were still available in simple…

Great job DBSar , Sigshooter & Team - I put my order in and they shipped it already it seems.

Not the longest thing I have waited for lately, but close… :wink:
