【TS10V2 Al available】Wurkkos "slender waist" TS10v2 aluminum version available with black,green,orange

Hey, we haven’t even received the previous batch. :slight_smile:

I even haven’t received shipping notification from aliexpress for the second batch 4000k ones!

I have not either, ordered first day they dropped.

I'll wait for now, see if they come out with a linear driver (shouldn't take too long, they're easy to design) then when they manage to upgrade the driver I'll buy two (good & evil, silver with ice blue aux & black + red)

I totally missed this one - when will there be more?
Primarily looking for 4000k and ice blue secondary.

Have anybody measured the parasitic drain of TS10 HI AUX / low aux / off aux ?
There is a this thread on reddit

https://www.reddit.com/r/flashlight/comments/vq2w2n/my_ts10_went_from_42v_to_34v_in_80_hours_with_no/

I took some measurements of the drain of my TS10 with orange aux before.

Aux off: 5uA

Orange aux on low: 123uA

Orange aux on high: 7.8mA

There seeems to be a problem with low voltage protection as mentioned in that reddit thread.

yes and LVP, as the user on Reddit said their battery was @ 2.4v

my sample I hadn't tested, but because the orange auxiliary LEDs are So Bright, I have kept my aux LEDs on low and didn't notice the drain at all.

Hi, ¿Could you show us some real photos of the TS10 in silver. We haven’t seen any yet.

the problem with button aux and switch lights, is that they are not linked to LVP. So running the TS10 w Aux lights on High 24/7, without doing any battery checks, will drain the battery below 2.5v in about 3.5 days.

imo, the non firmware reflashing solution is not to run the Aux on High… and check battery voltage every few days.

I cannot reflash my Anduril lights. My iMac is not compatible with the software.

That comment isn’t up to date. indicator_led_update() disables the aux LEDs when the voltage is too low. If it really doesn’t turn off the aux LEDs, there must be another reason.

The comment by gchart is from just 11 hours ago, here is the link

the issue also exists with other Anduril lights that use Aux…

maybe Anduril has a problem with switch lights not accessing LVP, instead of Aux lights? (I think I read somewhere that TS10 aux are actually switch button lights, which is why they dont turn off when main LEDs come on, and actually get brighter at higher main LED output)

I will contact him because that comment in the code makes no sense.

edit: D’oh! I had just looked at my fork and there I had refactored the aux LED handling which fixed the LVP bug by accident. :person_facepalming:

good point,

if I did the math right, I think they could last 305 days on low, as opposed to 5 days on high?

even w LVP, running on high mode seems not ideal

I do not understand, are you saying you only fixed it on your own light?

Does the aux light no LVP bug exists in ALL Anduril lights, not just the TS10?

except whichever ones this refers to?:

“LVP while asleep: With aux LEDs getting quite bright lately on some lights, it is important to make sure they won’t discharge the battery too far. So I made low-voltage protection work even while the light is asleep in standby mode.”

Yes, I had fixed it in my own version long time ago and forgot about it.

The missing LVP affects all lights with “simple” (non-RGB) aux LEDs. The quote is about RGB LEDs.

I just got the shipping notification for my red body 4000k ts10 with blue aux. Hopefully they are all on the way now.

It seems every version of this light is sold out.

for this price its a steal!

Thank You Very Much!

so, Anduril has No LVP for non-RGB Aux lights… wow, it took us a few years to realize that.

The problem went undetected for a LOOOONG time and is Not specific to TS10.

And the problem with high battery drain is Only for High Mode Aux lights.

Low mode aux lights last 1-2 years, depending whose drain rate data we use.

about 2 years on low

about 1 year on low

Hopefully I got all that correct.

so, my takeaway is:

Do NOT use High Mode Aux Lights 24/7

as they will drain the battery in less than a week.
(plus it will overdischarge since there is no LVP)

Even if LVP was working (I have not seen a fixed hex file for that)
(there is a hex file to turn off the aux lights when main LEDs are on thanks to zumlin),
but no Update will change the reality that High Mode Aux will Still Kill the Battery in less than a Week

High aux mode isn’t very practical. Other lights have had this issue. I vaguely even an 18650 in an Emisar D4v2 would drain in something like 5 or 10 days on high aux.

Much better to just use low aux. it’s bright enough to find the light and won’t drain the light fast.
