Hi all,
I’ve just received my first light with the Anduril UI (an Emisar D4v2 with Nichia E21A LED).
I have read in details the Anduril manual, many thanks and congratulations to ToyKeeper for this incredibly versatile and powerful UI, and for the detailed manual and useful diagram.
I have set my light to the stepped ramping, with only 5 steps because I like flashlights with few brightness levels.
Moreover, in order to have a very low Low, I set the Floor level to 2/150. Thus I have a real moonlight mode, nice for night bathroom trips. But I have noticed that when turning the light on in moonlight mode (1 Hold) the LEDs do not light up immediately, but only after about one second. This makes me keep the switch depressed longer than I should, and the light goes to Level2, which is much brighter than moonlight and blinds me. Hence my questions:
Is this one-second delay normal (see other issue below)?
Is there any way to reduce the brightness difference between Level1 and Level2? I assume that increasing the number of steps would automatically allow this, but as said earlier I don’t want too many steps.
On the other hand, I notice that when a battery check (3C) says 3.7V, both my Fluke multimeter and my Opus BT-C100 charger say 3.85V. Can the battery voltage measurement be calibrated?
Now a strange behaviour of the lowest level: if the light has been in one of the highest modes, and I ramp down (click, hold) to Level1 (Floor level), the LEDs turn completely off. But the light is not OFF: in fact the LEDs do light up at the Floor level, but only after being completely off for 15 to 30 seconds! The warmer the light, the longer this delay: 15s when the light is almost cool (High for a short time), 30s when the light is extremely hot (one minute on Turbo).
Is this a defect of my light?
Both of my KR4s exhibit the same behaviour, it isn’t a fault. It is a limitation of the driver type which the vastly more knowledgeable Toykeeper has better explained before. By default the bottom of the ramp (smooth, not stepped) is set to 3 due to the driver.
I set mine to 2 around the house and back to the default level 3 on night time dog walks.
