bugsy36, your answer was about the hue bin, i asked about what lumens bin EE are using for this light, i would guess a V4, but maybe hope for something higher like the V5 or V6, on the BLF X6 they used a XM-L2 U2 the second highest lumens bin for the XM-L2.
Personally i don’t worry about the hue bin as long as there will be a NW or WW option.
My mistake. That seems to be what everybody is asking. I honestly do not know whether V4, V5, or V6 yet. I figured wait til the lights get here - test - verify with EE and BG what we have - then see what is readily available.
1. Maximum mode - what will be the output current?
2. Why for Flashlight 7 modes? EDC LED Flashlight - better 4 modes (without strobe), for example ” ◦2. Approximate PWM levels of each mode: Example: (1) 2% - (2) 15% - (3) 40% - (4) - 100% ”
Q1. Maximum mode – what will be the output current?
Will depend on the battery used and whether or not the end user performs a spring bypass. EE is not going to do a spring bypass. That will be up us individually. For a clearer explanation of a DD driver read the description on RMM's website for his BLF17DD or Wight's A17DD-SO8 driver thread
Q2. Why for Flashlight 7 modes? EDCLED Flashlight – better 4 modes (without strobe), for example “ ◦2. Approximate PWM levels of each mode: Example: (1) 2% – (2) 15% – (3) 40% – (4) – 100%
Because the battery chosen will change the output levels, 7 modes are required to ensure everybody can find a usable mode for whatever the current task is at hand. The PWM levels have not been decided yet and really do not matter because this driver will be able to be flashed to an end user's preferred UI. If one does not or cannot currently flash firmware it can be performed by any number of BLF'ers around the world. I do not do it myself, and may never, but it does not seem to be that difficult. For certain we will have the highest "High" and the lowest "Low" that this driver allows.
