FLEX Asgard @ Fasttech

Sorry if I came off being a little negative :)… FYI, I do think this light is a cool thing :)!

Looking forward to those!

:wink:

There is low voltage protection. At 3v it will kick into moonlight mode to get you out of whatever jam you might be caught in.

That is what they found during testing. They tried but it severely impacted signal reception. Having said that, unless you plan on changing the programming while walking of driving, you could always put on your own AR lens and just unscrew the bezel and remove the lens, reprogram the light, then reassemble the lens and bezel.

i wonder if there will be a flood of bt drivers in the next year…
i have heard of bt micro lights in development as well

As I understand it, Fasttech has already acquired patents on the technology and idea. I know the owner is extremely wealthy and will bet he will do what is needed to protect his investment.

Out of curiosity is anyone planning on trying to port the android app to ios? Sadly I don't really know enough to do so, but I certainly plan on playing around with it and seeing what I can get to work.

You can use Bluestacks on your computer and emulate an Android environment and you can run Android apps. But I’m not sure if the bluetooth would work.

kinda funny, just ordered ZY-T08 couple days ago and now the asgard appears in the same host...

excited to see the review though :)

So we need only new driver :stuck_out_tongue:

JohnnyMac, why do you know so much? And what more do you know? 0:)

Because I’ve had some conversations with fasttech prior to this light being announced. You already know most all about this one now but if I told you what I know about the next lights I’d have to kill you. :wink: :bigsmile:

Nice light! Out of my budget though, after dropping $50+ each the last two months on lights. If there was a way to transfer my coupon code to someone else I’d do it.

I’m gonna get one. Too bad I’m still stuck on Gingerbread. Can’t believe I didn’t see the 10 coupon thread

Question: From FastTech’s website:

http://www.fasttech.com/products/0/10002537/1188301-small-sun-zy-t08-cree-xm-l-t6-635lm-5-mode-white-l

the T08 has 635 lumens output, whereas the Asgard is spec’ed at 1052 lumens and 3040 mA. So, other than the Bluetooth stuff, have they added more 7135s to the Asgard to get to the 1052 lumens (vs. the T08)?

they used 380mA 7135 chips vs 350, intl outdoor sells this driver

the Asgard is driven with 8*7135 at 260mA each. The original t08 was only driven at just over 2A and didn’t use 7135 chips.

12.5% increments with zero pwm means that each AMC chip can be activated one at a time directly. Modes other than 12.5% increments use pwm to control output at any level you choose. I hope this answers your question. :)

Hi,

Between your response and Bort’s, yes :)… Do you think the 7135s would be stackable then (assuming spacing available and emitter can take the current)? And then the increments would be 2x each?

+1

I thought it, you said it out loud :)
