Thanks, as in no reflector, no TIR lens, perhaps no lens at all?

2532

Typically, for a mule, there will still be a lens to protect the LED, but doesn’t do very much in the way of beam shaping. No diffuser, no reflector, no collimator, no TIR.

Where can I find the latest version of the Anduril diagrams? The one I have is from April 2024.

Anduril question. Is there a way to go directly to the floor setting if I’m at ceiling or turbo?

2536

In this thread

2537

ahem. Have you tried turning it off and on again? Off, then 1H for floor

2538

thanks to @dirtydancing

The no stupid questions thread, then you’re reply makes me feel like I asked a stupid question? Yes, I’ve tried turning it off. With memory enabled it just goes back to ceiling or turbo.

2540

did you 1H (1 hold) as prescribed?

2541

Yes. If Im at ceiling or turbo 1H just ramps down

2542

you didnt follow the instructions.

Turn it off. then 1Hold from off.

if it bumps into turbo or ceiling from the off state with 1H, you’ll probably have to check your floor level

I really like the ‘momentary-ON’ feature of some tail clicky lights. That is, a half press to energize the emitter, but not click to constant-ON. Just a half-press & hold for a short lighting.
Do all fwd clicky switches offer momentary-ON? If not, what feature description should I look for to find momentary-ON?
Thx.

lol, glad to be of assistance. Another thing you might want to check is the “no ramp from moon or floor” setting, 1 sec

if it’s a mechanical switch, typically most forward clickies will be momentary capable, as the activation happens before the latch on state, so mode changes have to happen before the latched state.

If you were curious about reverse clickies, they don’t activate until AFTER the latch on state, so they allow short presses to deactivate to change modes while latched, etc.

**If you’re asking about Eswitches, they will be heavily subject to the programming/firmware, but are technically (mechanically) forward clickies as the depression initiates some action, whether on or off. Anduril 2, for example, allows a pseudo-momentary of ceiling/max with a 2H (click, then hold second press). Novatacs also allow a pseudo momentary if you enable the setting.
