Thank you very much for the help. I didn’t find this information in the manual, my fault.
Good tip. I put glue directly on the solder joint after I soldered a wire directly to a pin on a ATTINY1634 to salvage the aux on a lume1 .
I’m so excited about the new low. Any idea how much current it uses? Is it low enough to be an indicator light?
No, the MCU needs to be running, so it still consumes some mA. It might work for a day, but probably not much longer.
Mine appears to only draw ~1.3mA at lowest moonlight mode, so it would probable run several weeks. Not as long as Aux though.
Sticking to lowest ramp floor, with multimeter I get current draw:
3.5 mA with 1.2V cell
3 mA with 1.5V cell
1.3 mA with 3.7V cell
So in any case it would take few hundreds of hours do drain the cell. IMO still not long enough for always-on indicator light, but ocassionally I wouldnn’t hesitate to leave it on as a night light, as it won’t impact whole runtime too much.
thanks for the data
1900mAh/3.5mA per hour/24 hours per day= 22 days.
> 1.3 mA with 3.7V cell
IF the LiIon is an 800mAh cell:
800/1.3/24 = 25 days
fwiw, a Zebra AA claims 100 days on its lowest mode
Are there modes in which MCU doesn’t need to run? If yes, which are those?
When the flashlight is off the MCU can sleep as well.
The good ’ol 0.00 lumen mode, what other flashlight has a mode this low!?
Only the one that adds four more zeroes. It’s the top secret one that the military doesn’t want you to know about. You’ve probably heard about it on youtube….
What is the different between the current batch SP10V3.0 and SP10pro? Do they use diferent driver? or any other thing to be aware of?
Pro uses Anduril, V3 has Sofirn’s own UI.
I know that they use different UI/OS.
But what hardware driver did they use? Efficiency? Lower and highest mode differences?
I heard that there are problems in the early batch of SP10V3.0. Is the SP10V3.0 problem rectified? Is there a ny new problem surfacing?
I cannot find if this was mentioned, but the vapcell H10 flattop does not seem to work with my Sofirn SP10Pro. I just got one from Amazon. Maybe only button style 14500 work? there seems to be three gold conductors on the battery post of the positive terminal and they are close together. I may be missing something.
The outer two contacts are not connected electrically. They are a mechanical reverse voltage protection. A flat-top battery won’t make contact with the center contact, only the button of a button-top.
BTW where to find button top H10 shipped to EU ? Nkon and Vapcell ali store only have flat top.
The hardware is supposed to be the same, except the microcontroller was swapped for an Anduril-compatible model, so the efficiency at a given output level should be the same.
The max brightness is the same, but gchart figured out tweaks to make in Anduril to allow the the minimum brightness to be much lower.
Thank you. So the sp10pro seems to be the better choice for me. I already got an sp10pro. Thinking of getting v3.0 bit sp10pro can be simplified enough using the simple mode.
how does the LVP looks like? From my testing, it is just stepping down quite fast and that's it, you can still force it to go up for short time. Is that it?
