FLEX Asgard @ Fasttech

Why, it's almost as if they understand that it's counterproductive to try and nickel and dime people to death, and instead if you work to make people happy they will voluntarily hand over the money! Shocking! I bet that strategy would be highly frowned upon in most business schools. :)

Even without any true-strobe motion-freezing features though, the FLEXcandles series lights look very appealing. It’s simply designed more for practical purposes (the perfect set of custom output levels) instead of entertainment purposes (making parties more fun).

I just wanted to add that the Bluetooth features on my Asgard functions pretty much flawlessly. I said this with an update on my preview thread but, guess I'll say it here too . . .

If I point the light at my phone at angle, it connects on the first or second attempt every time and it accepts new profiles instantly. My T60 is a much better flashlight in every way but it sits unused and will continue to gather more dust while I give the Asgard yet another new set of modes. I've done up to 8-modes in one profile and I can even cycle it through the modes with my phone from up to about 5-feet away.

Not sure what happened but something definitely changed when I took it apart for the macro shots. And I didn't even remove anything from the pill. When I put it back together, the flickering was gone and unlike before, it now cycled through to BT mode. Before, it reported the wrong volts and displayed a low battery warning. After reassembly it showed the correct voltage and began accepting commands without a hitch.

In fact, it works so well I'm having a hard time remaining objective about the machine quality and bad ano. The wireless fun with this light goes a long way toward making it easier to overlook its cosmetic issues.

I know I've been brutally honest about the build quality and I take absolutely nothing back. But, I must be equally honest about its operation, which, at least so far, is damn near perfect.

Foy is not slammin' or shillin' . . . just tellin' it like it be.

I agree with both of you, trying to work with your customers to make them happy is an interesting concept and the flexibility of the overall system is remarkable, being able to fit all this in a host that suits a persons personal circumstances is the icing on the cake.

It seems the hunt for at least on perfect driver just got a lot easier.

As an aside, I’ve been carrying my zy-t08 in my day bag recently, just to get used to having the form factor to hand.

You can actually do that by using a few advanced steps, configurable via the app. You can achieve 250Hz to 500Hz PWM in the current Asgard light.

Modders are going to have different technical questions. Common drivers like Nanjg can virtually be “fully supported” by the community. The driver used in Asgard is custom made and we’ll likely be the only one able to provide technical support.

If you really want a driver as-is knowing that we will not be able to provide full technical support, PM me I’ll give you a quote and we can ship them right away.

:party:

Nobody else would do something like that, and especially not with what's considered a flagship product. Amazing. Really, really amazing.

it really is amazing how fasttech treats their customers. could you imagine asking nitecore for an ea8 driver for example? i dont think it would end in a price quote

thank you fasttech!

Hat’s off to Jasmine at FastTech for your support. :slight_smile:

Mine has shipped!!!

Updated the app today…
It still crashes in Landscape mode, hope that will be fixed soon. Otherwise, it seem to be working nicely as far as i have been able to see. 10 times better than it was yesterday! :slight_smile:

Can the strobe have random frequency? I mean change interval time between every flash.

BAM!!!

Did the price on these go down?

Why are you asking?

Edit:

Hmm. Seems like there are two different ones? Different lumens?

http://www.fasttech.com/search?asgard

I thought they were closer to $60 like 59.xx or something… and $49 with the $10 off deal… I could be imagining things.

CW is XM-L2 and NW is "old" XM-L

Nevermind… they’ve always been $46. or $56.

The CW XM-L2 has been (and still is) $59.

NW is cheaper at $56.

I’m getting confused, which is the newer one:

FLEX Asgard 1052-Lumen Programmable Cree XM-L2 LED Flashlight $59.00
http://www.fasttech.com/products/0/10004469/1342000-flex-asgard-1052-lumen-programmable-cree-xm-l2-led

OR:

FLEX Asgard 950-Lumen Programmable Smart LED Flashlight $56.00
http://www.fasttech.com/products/0/10004469/1355500-flex-asgard-950-lumen-programmable-smart-led-flash

I think the latter one, with the 950 lumens, is the NW?

Aren’t NW lights typically more expensive than CW lights?

In the above case, the CW is more expensive than the NW?

Yes.

Yes.

Yes. [Because it's new generation XM-L2]
