Yeah… ImA4Wheelr’s comments kinda took/take me by surprise?? Maybe he is having a bad day or something.
All I was saying was that in the Q8 I found the ramping to be preferrable to preset levels. That is a personal opinion of course.
Maybe ImA4Wheelr has a problem with that?? From his response it would seem I had insulted his Grandmother or family linage.
I honestly do not know what his comments were about or why. :person_facepalming:
If I had thin skin I might have had to seek a safe space…… but that does not apply.
BUT…. I am thankful saypat mentioned the MELD, I had never heard of it. But is sure looks neat.
saypat…. ImA4Wheelr, (it seems??); has implied / accused me of replying to you in some type of insulting or disrespectful manner concerning the MELD Firmware. (I guess)
From your informative reply I do not think you took it that way at all.
BUT… IF you did. My apologies, all I had was a question about what it was; which you graciously answered with much appreciated info. :+1:
I went to turn it on and the light ran through three or four modes, flashing the green switch light.
Pulled the batteries, problem went away.
Later I noticed the green switch light had gone off, with the light sitting on the table. Odd. It came back when I used the switch to go through several brightness levels.
Mode sets were never fully fleshed out. They were a kind of an add on for those people who prefer it. So it can act a bit flaky sometimes.
Does it seem as if the switch got stuck? In mode sets pressing and holding the switch goes to turbo, strobe then the programming mode. Is that what it did?
+1. Love mine too. After a few months of ownership, I’d say it’s my favorite overall flashlight. It’s very bright, has the best UI, tint, and battery life. My hat’s off to all involved with its design.
I was responding to teach's post. I misread his posts to be a slight at Meld. Whether I misread or not, my post was not appropriate. I apologize teacher.
Unfortunately this fix only lasted about 48 hours before the LEDs both went back out. I fiddled around with the soldering iron again and they lit up, but then again died after a couple days.
Any recourse here for repair? I don’t think it’s the LEDs that are bad, as probing the contacts with a multimeter set to continuity mode lights them up bright as day.
Yeah, after posting I started looking back through the pages and saw that people contacted The Miller, who helped them get replacement assemblies. The Miller seems to have been offline for over a month though, so I see joechina stepped up to offer help. I sent them a PM and will follow up with an email to chendongling@banggood.com if I don’t hear a response. Will keep BLF updated!
