Oh wow those tid bits regarding Anduril’s ceiling adjustments are gold.
I’ve never messed with them just because I never knew if I had to actually click & count hundreds of times without screwing up or if there was some way to shortcut the whole ordeal.
Regardless, what exactly is “n” supposed to represent anyways? What is it an abbreviation for? I’ve never been able to find it in any of the chart legends.
“n” means “insert your desired number here”. So “Click n times for level n of 150” Means that if you want to set the floor to level 10, click 10 times for level 10 of 150.
Happy to see it was not just me being confused about having to click potentially hundreds of times.
The Anduril manual should recommend 3H instead of 31C for the ceiling, @ToyKeeper can this be considered?
The problem there is that 3H is already understood to mean click, click, hold.
I understand that but in the section of the manual dealing purely with the ceiling we should not be telling anyone to click 31 times when there is an easier option of holding the button down three times!
It’s already in the manual, under the “Configuration Menus” section which states:
click: add 1
hold: add 10 (only in versions 2021-09 or later)
wait: exit
The chart is a convenient visual summary, there is a text-based Anduril manual which contains more in-depth information which may help with understanding the UI better.
To configure the ceiling level, each click goes one level lower. So 1 click sets the highest possible level, 2 clicks is the 2nd-highest, 3 clicks is the 3rd-highest level, etc. To set the default of 120/150, click 31 times.
I wouldn’t do that anywhere near me, though.
“15… 47… 9… 38… 73… 629… 4… 12… 97…”
“AAAUUUUGH!!!”
Sounds like good information but that does not pertain to the issues this light is having.
How do you explain this?
Sometimes a double click goes to Turbo sometimes it does nothing and stays in the mode that it’s in, sometimes it goes to the lowest mode. When it goes to Turbo it’s stuck there. Ramping doesn’t work, clicking the switch doesn’t work, you can’t turn the light off. If I untwist the tail cap and twist it back on it comes back on in turbo. The only way to deactivate the light when this happens is to untwist the body from the head.
Sounds to me like there’s some glitches and wacky stuff going on that has nothing to do with programming the light.
The light worked fine up until a week ago. I did nothing to it I didn’t try to program it again because it didn’t need it it got wacky all on its own.
One other thing I forgot. You cannot access Turbo until the Light reaches High ramp. What the hell is that about?! You’re supposed to be able to double click from anywhere when the light is on and access Turbo.
It could also be written out as 3 x 1H? Because 3H indeed has a meaning already
I guess none of you have a solution for the issues I’ve addressed nor an idea what causes it.
All I’m reading here is how you program the light in different ways. That has nothing to do with these glitches. I just turned it on again. It must be at the high ceiling in order to activate turbo and then it will not shut off.
Anduril eventually leads to entropy.
Maybe someone on cpf will know.
Screws fall out all the time. The world’s an imperfect place…
Unscrew the body or tail, hold the button, screw the light back together while still holding the button (it will flash quickly and then do one big slow flash)
You’ve just factory reset the light. Program it how you want and get back to enjoying life. If that doesn’t fix it, it’s almost certainly a hardware issue.
Thanks. I already did that twice. That doesn’t work.
I also made sure it was in advance mode. I did that process a few times. Otherwise you couldn’t even access turbo to begin with.
Ah, ok.
Which light is it? Is it a KR4 by any chance?
Also, have you tried a factory reset?
You’re probably more likely to find help here.
I’ve just bought a Lumintop Tool AA and am running it on NiMHs for the lower output and longer run-times. I know where I am with Li-Ion, but how do I know when a NiMH wants to be recharged? Is it at a particular voltage? If it matters they’re Eneloop Pro that I’m using.
The last time I used AAs in a light they were alkaline.
NiMHs have a fairly flat discharge curve. Drops off fast at the end. 1.1v and it’s about done. With higher discharge rates the voltage can run lower than this. But there is no way to monitor this inside a light.
Run a test to see how long it takes for the light to dim. Then use that as a time estimate.
Keep a couple of sets and swap them out on a regular basis?
All the Best,
Jeff
Thank you, that graph makes it clear how hard it would be to test the voltage and get anything meaningful. I have a set of four and the light only takes one, I think just swap regularly is the way to go and / or carry a spare.
