Hi everyone I hope everyone in good health and happy..
please help me with this
I bought solar force L2pvn from skylumen with W 1.1 and DriverVN4 forward clicky
l never used it because it just won’t hold turbo more than 5 seconds or so!
I know it has programable driver (vn4)
what I need is someone shows me how to set it on turbo all the time (until the battery dies)
Cheers
I want to set it on turbo maximum brightness and leave it there until I turn it off or the battery dies
I watched his videos on YouTube and I didn’t understand anything! I want someone of you my friends to explain to me how to do it in VERY VERY simple way
I also have l2c carbon fiber triple nichia219b with driver vn2 forward Clicky and I want to set it to turbo maximum brightness and 30% brightness means just 2 mods High and low with mode memory on
So can anyone help me?
Tell me when you are finished making consecutive post every few minutes.
It is not possible to have turbo all the time, depending on power and size, a flashlight can typically sustain turbo for a minute.
Driver vn4 can sustain turbo for very long time this what I learned and I am sure about
Still waiting for one of you guys to tell me how to do it
Please tell me how to disable temperature sensor ? I don’t know how..
Have you even read previous post? MoreHiCRILumens told you how to do it
Yes I have read it! But I don’t understand?! A Short video will help me understand how to set it on turbo and how to disable the sensor
You may get the information you need if you contact Vinh at Skylumen.com.
He has been pretty helpful when I have contacted him.
I would love to help, but other than reading the manual, I have no info. It is interesting that I don’t see how to get to the setting you want listed in a quick scan of the manual.
His video does not cover it either
Maybe an internet search might get you something if you, for some reason, don’t want to contact Vinh. Or try the CPF site. He seems to frequent that forum quite a bit.
Picking up on MoreHiCRILumens message above
Step 1: From Off or On quickly tap the switch 10 times to enter Programming Mode. A dim slow blink will initiate.
Step 2: Tap the Deck number. A dim fast blink will initiate.
Step 3. Tap the number of mode group. A double blink & 1stmode in group will initiate.
Circuit Temperature Sensor - 10-10-F (Default 160F) - F1= Off, F2 = 105F, […]
Trying to simplify the instructions:
- If you are using a light with Forward Clicky Switch, you will have to do half clicks not pressing the switch till the end (a full click).
- On step 2, you will have to do again 10 half clicks / taps, without making a full click. When you see the “fast dim blink” you will enter step 3.
- On step 3, since you are choosing to disable the turbo, you will only have to do 1 half click/tap. After that, the light will make a double blink and will shut off. Now you will have your temperature sensor disabled. In case you want to define 1 value from the available ones, you need to do the number of half clicks/taps (from 1 to 12) to choose a preset temperature level from 105ºF to 200ºF.
Simplifying:
OFF >>> 10 half clicks = dim slow blink >>> 10 half clicks = fast dim blink >>> 1 half click = double blink = light shuts OFF
If you are using a flashlight with Reverse Clicky Switch, the process is similar, but instead you need to turn the light on before initiating the process, an when the lights shuts OFF, you need to make the full click to physically turn the light OFF (closing the circuit).
I hope this helps. BTW, this is based on my experience with the driver with firware guppy3drv from DrJones, sold by MTN electronics, which works in similar way to Vinh’s driver.
I made video trying to explain how to do it.
thank you very very much you are really good friend and I am very happy to have a friend like you thank you very much for taking the time and effort for making this video to help me I will never forget it
one more question please l mentioned above that I have also l2cvn (driver vn2 forward clicky) (solarforce) carbon fiber edition with triple nichia219b and l want to set it to only 2 mods 30% and 100% with mod memory ON
and I DON’T want it to step down I want enjoy turbo for very long time and even after it start to step down
I don’t want it to be 100 Lumens or 200 Lumens .. etc it’s just not acceptable for me to carry big light like that and it puts out just 100-200ish Lumens so do you understand me ?
I’m glad the video helped in some way.
-Concerning your requests, you cannot configure your flashlight to 30–100, but you can configure it to 25% 100% with mode memory ON.
For that, you when you see the driver settings, you will notice that on Deck 1 - The Simplest you have the following option: 10-1-5 => 25/100 M
What you need to do is:
OFF >>> 10 half clicks = dim slow blink >>> 1 half click = fast dim blink >>> 5 half clicks = double blink = light shuts OFF
Then you will have the light configured with those 2 modes with memory.
Concerning the Turbo Timmer, you need to follow the instructions on the driver’s sheet:
Simplifying:
OFF >>> 10 half clicks = dim slow blink >>> 12 half clicks = fast dim blink >>> Let light run until desired felt temperature and or time. Turn off to lock in Turbo Timer
This means that to have Turbo running on Max you will need to let the flasglight making this configuration for a loooooong time. And…I suspect that:
a) the light will get extremely hot to handle and
b) it will surely start to decrease in terms of output after some time because the battery will no longer handle the maximum current you need to keep it always at 100% level. But I may be wrong.
In any case, use a fully charged battery to do this configuration.
For these 2 configurations I will not make videos since the one I posted above let you understand how the configuration works. I hope the explanations given also help.
:exclamation: :exclamation: :exclamation: EDITED: See some posts below !!! :exclamation: :exclamation: :exclamation:
THIS!!! Good advice! :+1:
We know that sometimes we think that those extreme configurations are the best, but…maybe we need to step back a little and make them more reasonable and long lasting!!
If you set those lights to Turbo for Extended periods, they’ll get so hot the LED or wires will Desolder or burn up—- That’s why he had them set for burst — Be Careful —- Remember Too Hot To Hold is To Hot Period
let us know if the thing melts, sets your house on fire, or blows up
