Oh, good. I was afraid it was the whiskey.
This is how Anduril works. It looks for another click before turning off. It prevents the light from turning off completely when you do a double click to Turbo.
Narsil, on the other hand, will turn off completely, although briefly, during a double click.
So there are pros and cons to each method.
As JasonWW said, there are tradeoffs. It can respond at button press, button release, or after a timeout. Each one has benefits and drawbacks.
- Press-off: Nobody really uses this; itās basically incompatible with ramping.
- Release-off: Turns off faster, but also causes the light to go dark for a moment when doing multi-click actions: a double click for turbo, click-release-hold to ramp down, triple click to change ramp styles, or quad click to access config mode.
- Timeout-off: Turns off a bit slower, but doesnāt have any interruptions during actions which require more than one click.
People have some disagreements about the same thing while turning the light on, too. Press-on, release-on, and timeout-on are all used in different lights, for different reasons.
Iāve been meaning to add a compile-time option to choose which style to use, but still havenāt yet.
FYI, user Boaz has some diffuser film available that is reported to spread out the beam similar to an elliptical optic. I believe he mails it in a standard envelop to keep the shipping cost low, and he indicates he can send it internationally. See what he lists as #5. Also get yourself a sheet of #1 if your order from him.
I donāt know if it works as well as the Carclo 10510 optic, but I have some on its way, and will try to find time to do a couple quick test shots once I receive it.
My 2 pcs arrived yesterday and works perfectly ! Awesome little light !
Thanks everyone who had part in making of this flashlight !
So hard to choose, itās weird to edc both right?
Timeout-off is the better option. Itās the way Zebralight does it, which Iām used to, and most people seem to really like that UI.
Havenāt had this much fun with a light since the A6. Great light
Just received mine. I got to say the interface is Ć¼bergreat. It's my first Anduril and now I understand the prize.
Just can't stress this enough: BIG Congrats to everyone involved, particularily @ToyKeeper!
Now what is the safest way to ensure which tint has been received?
Is the SST-20 confirmed? Do we know how those notifications will be coordinated?
Most likely āif & whenā the SST 20 happens it will be announced on this thread by someone.
Toykeeper set up a site where you can follow her current/future projects and ideas. After much persuasion from BLF members, TK set up a way for folks to donate to help support her time and talent on those projects if they wanted to. It seems there are a lot of folks āthanking herā and Im guessing there are some that are new here (and maybe some that are not) that may not be aware of the donation option. She set it up so you can donate as little as $2ā¦ā¦ or just a little per month. If everyone gives a little it would go a long way to not only making more projects possible, but ALSO showing the āQueen of Lightā our appreciation for all she has done for usā¦ā¦ Just Sayinā¦ā¦ā¦.
Sorry Seleneā¦ā¦ā¦ had to do it.
Here is the Link
According to Lizzie Hale: āTwo is better than one, three is better than two.ā so no, not weird. Plus theyāre only small so total sizewise itās just like carrying one.
I'd be glad to do a little more than just posting a nice "Thank You" image for her, but as I understand it there is no way to make a momentary payment. Only monthly donations. Am I missing some setting?
Not āweirdā at all. Remember, when the chips are downā¦
Two is One and One is None
You can join, do a one time contribution & cancel after it posts.
Or you can join, do monthly contributions. They can easily be changed month to month. So, for instance; join at $2 a month (or whatever amount). Then on a month if you want to give extra, up it to whatever you want to contributeā¦ say $100 (or whatever amount). Change it to $100 (or whatever amount) for that month. When payment postsā¦ change it back to $2 (or whatever you wish.)
It is somewhat flexible if you play with it.
edited for clarity.
I am not a fan of patreon, the page does help us learn a bit about her, while I may be interested in her cause, I want nothing to do with patreon. Does she have her own site?
Got my lights in the mail a few days ago, just now tried 2 use them. Idk if itās a quality control issue but I cant them to work correctly. Like my batteries are too big? The cap wont screw on all the way and when I get it on all the way the button wont depress at all.
Iāve tried both protected and unprotected button top 18650s. I also only inserted the batteries at the head per the instructions. And o my 18650w arenāt dead.
How long are your batteries?
6.75cm maybe? Iāve tried multiple battery brands that I have though, same issue. Even when Iām able to screw the cap on all the way, same issue. And itās happening with both lights.
For example this is 1 of the batteries I have from MTN Electronics: Sanyo/Panasonic NCR18650GA Protected 3500mAh
