Level 1 uses clock/4 and pulses at 611 Hz for reduced power consumption. All other levels are at 2.9 kHz or above (up to 19.6 kHz at level >64).
The first 25-30 levels are in the non-linear region, but seem to ramp quite OK. I also tried to go even lower and got about 0.001 lm or less, but I don't think it would be reliable enough (temperature, battery voltage etc). Even with this configuration the ramp shape might change depending on the environment.
Two more aux LED patterns: off / low / high / fancy blink / blink low / blink high

Allow turbo in momentary mode (go to turbo, then to momentary via 5C)
PocketUI: Shifts some button mappings from off to make lockout obsolete. Can be enabled via the misc options menu (from off 9H, then 1C to enable or nothing to disable). Changed or new mappings are:

As you know Jon, I’m having some issues with mine. I like the 4C lockout in Anduril but my TS10 is behaving strangely.
4C puts the light into flashing aux mode, hi/lo flashes. Pressing the button doesn’t offer momentary moonlight or low, the two locked out options. Instead the torch ramps back up as if switched on without the lockout enabled.
While in the 4C (supposedly locked out mode), no matter how many times I try the 7C to change the aux from flashing to low, nothing changes.
While in normal off mode, the aux are dim. 7C from off doesn’t change the aux at all, it remains on low brightness.
No amount of factory resetting, battery removal, extra tightening of the head, or cleaning excess lube makes any difference at all. I can’t lock the light out or change the aux settings.
one more thought… remove battery, tighten head, lose tight, loose then tight… a few times… my thought is to seat and get good contact of the two endtubes, into the head.
if after that the light still does not go into normal lockout when you 4C,
I would say you tried everything and it is time to ask Wurkkos to help with your defective light.
This is sounding like an andruil issue and not a light issue.
If you don’t click the exact way you are supposed to, it does not register.
Also, as was mentioned, the UI is so complicated and so counter intuitive that you may be in a place down the menu tree where the function you are entering is not valid.
the positive driver wire on the TS10’s star is not isolated from the star’s copper substrate. I wonder if the star is DTP under the positive pad of each led.
Maybe this is how they decent heatsinking despite using LEDs that have no dedicated central heatsink pad.
Perhaps this is also why the switch connection goes through the body tube of the light rather than the negative ground connection like in other similar lights.
Pretty sure I’m factory reset. I removed the head completely quite a few times, let the thing clear it’s head as it were. Did lots of resets, flicker then flash, hold 3 secs. If it’s not in factory mode by now then that doesn’t work either.
4 clicks doesn’t lock the light and allow momentary on, it just puts the aux lights into flashing lo/hi beacon mode. In either the 4C (lockout but not) mode or regular mode the aux cannot be changed with 7C.
When I first fired the thing up yesterday, everything worked fine, even the momentary on. But momentary on had the beacon flash of the aux. 7C didn’t do anything to change it. At the moment it does lock out successfully, but the aux flash can’t be changed, and in normal mode it works as it should but again here, the aux light can’t be changed. Apart from the firmware, I really like it, I’d prefer it ran the original Anduril to be honest.
I’ve confirmed I’m in advanced mode, and I can change the standby aux level, but that doesn’t affect the aux level for lockout. It’s always at blinking/lightning on mine, no matter what 7C sets the standby aux to. Is 7C from off supposed to affect the lockout aux level?
I have noticed that the button really requires straight on presses. Took me a couple of days to get good at the switch. Change fingers and cadence it will work.
“There is one aux LED mode for the regular Off mode, and another aux LED mode for Lockout mode. This allows the user to see at a glance whether the light is locked.”
Well that was weird. I can…or could…confirm all the symptoms Rich was reporting, except that I had no issues changing aux levels in the normal way. But lots of weirdness with lockout mode in either simple or advanced, and in neither way did lockout actually work as lockout. Some odd flashes after 4C, then a button press would bring on low light, and releasing it would put it back into normal ramping mode as if lockout was never recognized at all. Switched back and forth between platforms, tried different aux levels in both, etc, etc. Then I decided to try momentary mode (in advanced) and that worked just fine. So I removed the head, put it back on, and suddenly everything was totally normal Anduril again…lockout as it should be, etc. I hadn’t tried lockout since I first received the light until reading Rich’s comments this evening, but the last three weeks or whatever all of the features I normally use have worked…normally. After a battery swap sometime last week I did notice that the light had factory reset somehow…not sure how that happened.
It seems that perhaps this light was indeed released too soon and without proper testing….and in this case maybe ToyKeeper should have been consulted first for firmware compatibility with the different hardware/signal approach compared to other lights. With the head aux using switch firmware and the signal polarity reversed, maybe custom tweaking is required. Weird to have an Anduril light not work like Anduril.
Should add that while the light was wonky and using 3C voltage check in simple mode, I often got a weird flutter/buzz just after the voltage blinks completed. That didn’t happen in advanced but was reproducible in simple. Also got a flutter when trying to enter lockout in either platform but it was intermittent. Whatever it was, taking the head off after momentary seems to have returned everything to normal. Odd. Contacts on the driver and signal tube are clean, light touch of grease on the threads but more toward the o-ring.
