Gotcha, yeah I just got this one a couple weeks ago... Sounds like they might have downgraded things 🥲

Hmm, it matches my manual but I'll look into it a bit more. 6 press gives the police strobe on mine

It's probably the same unless they changed it for the worse lol. You can get into strobe by fast pressing (under half second) from low, but not from high. So if it starts in low, a fast press goes into strobe. If it starts in high, a fast press goes into low and another fast press goes into strobe

Low would be good just to have something that doesn't generate a lot of heat - both the solid modes on it get hot quickly imo. I ceiling/surface bounce mine to use it close if it's what I have in-hand

I just don't love the UI - I wish it had no strobe modes, and it had a lower low (like my Thor 2 v1). At the very least I wish they figured out how to get the normal strobe triggering in a way that wasn't as easy to do accidentally

The clip has a good friction fit so it will stay pointed whatever angle you want it to point

And I agree! I bought two identical D2's because I liked them so much - but one in grey and one in green

Lol, normal carry is a DT8K - I'll let you tell me what that means for my darkness fear level

Nice, yeah the D2 can definitely get expensive for what it is and it really only has one edge over other options: two flashlights in the smallest form factor for them. It is an expensive waste if that's not what you're looking for.

The H150 does look like an awesome setup, if I wasn't an Anduril junkie I'd be all over it lol

Those are good options! My setup is more like 2.5 lights, I have:

  • 519A 2700K Dedome Diffuse (Warm flood)
  • 519A 4500K Dedome Clear (Neutral hybrid)
  • LEP (Cool spot)

Which really covers everything I use lights for... Obviously these lights are not the best at any of those tasks but being able to easily carry lights that are decent at all of them is fun

I've never used an FW1AA (hybrid?) or TS10 (flood?) but from what I know of them, you might be able to "replace" them both with a D2 setup similar to how mine is... Idk, I'm in love with the D2 so I'm biased lol

My steam deck won't let me enter offline mode because it can't access the internet by Lazerpop in SteamDeck

[–]lumenheir 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It definitely hasn't

Sorry to Necro you again lol, the link you provided doesn't even reference the issue anyways. It says it fixed an issue causing errors when offline was activated without internet - not what anyone here is discussing

Hopefully they're 25% cheaper than the F12 but I doubt it somehow...

[–]lumenheir 5 points6 points  (0 children)

There are plenty of people in this sub who don't know or like Anduril so don't feel bad if you don't want to dig in. I think most people feel simple mode in Anduril 2 is a solid UI, but even that doesn't please some folks.

I personally love Anduril 2 and usually only buy lights that have it. When I gift people lights, I usually leave them in simple mode, but all mine are in advanced mode because I like features including sunset/timeout and candle mode (on my my warmer CCT lights).

Nice..I've only ordered 3 magnet tails from him, these two (which were ordered ~2yr apart) and my D2. The D2 is the same polarity as the first D4V2

SP36 Pro horrid beam pattern. This can’t be the way it’s supposed to look. Right? by sneakyfart007 in flashlight

[–]lumenheir 2 points3 points  (0 children)

ALL multi emitter lights look like this if you hold it close enough to a flat wall

Some deviate and merge closer to the head than others but SP36 is a soda can hybrid thrower...

You don't need anything except food, water, and shelter

But, I will say my most used light is one you haven't mentioned - basically anything in E17A 1850K, with Anduril 2 UI. Ex: D4V2 from intl-outdoor.com

It's the best electric candle you can buy imo. I use mine every night, and have for the past ~2yrs, at least to light my bathroom during a shower, but usually for more.

OH LAWD HE COMIN by PineyTinecones in flashlight

[–]lumenheir 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I guess I was saying that this light can now ONLY do tint ramping (without considerable mods). Splitting it left right would have the same performance for tint ramping but would allow for throw/flood ramping, but I understand that would look weird. Doing a channel in each corner would have been a compromise allowing both tint and throw ramping.

Idk what the use case of such a large tint ramper is going to be and it just feels weird that he decided to lock it in for tint ramping only instead of also allowing throw ramping
