Note the listing says Anduril 1. fwiw, some are shipping w an early version of Anduril 2. In both cases I like to reflash to the latest version of Anduril 2
This is a great little light for modding. The reflector is very good, both with domed 519a, as well as dedomed. It also works very well w Red LEDs and with Nichia 219b. Plus it is compatible with a Pebbled Tir option.

This is far and away The Best little Anduril host I know. The built in charging, tailmagnet, and illuminated button, make it a Total Package.
The link I shared is now $20.23. I don’t know why the super deals bounce around in price. I think I noted most of the “good” deal prices so I guess just be patient and watch for those.
this is a very cute little lantern,
pleasantly surprised by how compact it is, much smaller than I imagined.
Things I like
the output range and mode spacing
both stepped and smooth ramping for the white LEDs
it allows turning off half of the white LEDs
the tint ramping is fun. My Opple 3 comes in handy to check the cct changes
the red LEDs use stepped modes,
no smooth ramp
the red has 3 modes, a couple are maybe brighter than I think I would need, but I have not yet tested outdoors.
no option to turn off half the red LEDs
The Red seems to be 620nm… I would have preferred 660nm
but none of this is a deal breaker,
I really like this light, and the Red mode is still very useful for me.
the controls are very easy to operate, after reading the manual and a little practice, It was pretty easy to get the light setup the way I like… Atm it is lighting a corner of my basement very nicely.
Morning after
I still Love this little light… it is a Winner!
I would like it even better if it was regulated and did not use PWM, but, I dont know any other option that meets that expectation. And the PWM is too fast to see in actual use:
I just picked one of these up from AX too, for $23. It’s an amazing little lantern. I don’t understand why more companies are not using these LEDS either… they’re fantastic in this and in the Wurkkos TS10.
Other reviewers’ runtime graphs show that it is regulated.
Awesome. I should be getting mine any day now. Did you also get the TS25? I see you have one in that Anduril thread. I got that and a few others - I went a little overboard with these deals.
thanks, youre right, it does look regulated:
pic from this review
Maybe Im confusing my terms… my Opple shows full PWM… so I guess regulation does not rule out PWM…
Lol, I resemble that remark. I hope you enjoy your new lights… Im trying to pace myself… its not really working… Yes I also have a TS25… I leave the Aux off to save power.
I have a Zebra incoming, because Im chasing lights w no PWM… after indulging heavily in unregulated Anduril lights for a while…
The SC21 Mini’s lack of PWM (except on modes between 5 to 10 lumens), And regulation, is why I have adopted the SC21 Mini recently, over my SC21 Pros.
I bought 1 LT1S from these Super Deals aswell, and another one from the coin page “limited offers”
Both get pretty hot on 2700k with no dimming down. 6500k does dim down after 5min or so and doesnt get that hot. I tested it for about 10min. They both get so hot to the point i barely can touch it with my hand anymore, thats why i didnt test it longer than 10min on max with both sides on, if just one side is one the temperature is ok to touch, but still pretty warm.
I wonder if this is normal for the LT1S ?
If it matters : one is in orange, the other one in black.
Yeah i think its strange that it dims down on 6500k but not on 2700k which of course generates way more heat than 6500k.
I thought maybe my first one was defective, thats why i bought the other one in a different color in black (geforest store only has them in orange & black) but it shows the same behaviour.
I thought maybe the cables got mixed up in the factory ?
Maybe someone with a LT1S can look if theirs do the same ?
I still check these super deals periodically because I’m apparently addicted the thrill of impulse buying cheap stuff and forgetting about it until it arrives two weeks later. The flashlight deals are not as good or plentiful as they were this summer, but here’s a nice one: Sofirn HS10 for $9 or $10 depending on if you want a battery or not.
Nice little light but remember to physically lock it out due to parasitic drain.
The image on the page says there’s a coupon code for an extra $2 off but I can’t get it to work.
Aliexpress is such a mess. That crazy looking link still works for me, but only for mobile. Now it’s $15 (the prices on super deals seem to change randomly). Using the search function, I find the same brass TS10, same item ID (first part of URL) for $26. But again, that link for $15 works… I wonder if there’s something in the URL that affects the price. Maybe someone more tech-savvy than me could figure it out and get the best available prices.
