Protection Features
Some features which aren’t visible on the diagram: Andúril includes low voltage protection (LVP) and
thermal regulation.
LVP makes the light step down to a lower level when the battery is low, and if the light is already at
the lowest level, it shuts itself off.
This activates at 2.8V. LVP adjustments happen suddenly, in large steps.
Thermal regulation attempts to keeps the light from overheating and otherwise adjusts output to
stay as close as possible to the user-configured temperature limit. Thermal adjustments happen
gradually, in steps so small they are difficult for humans to perceive. It ramps smoothly across 512
internal steps (from 1×7135 to full power) to adjust output while it searches for the highest level it can
maintain without overheating.
Usage of the flashlight
You can do a little bit more with your new light …
Because the SP36 is a high powered light, it is recommended to use lockout. It can burn things!
Backside is, a normal lockout is awkward if you need quick little illumination for the keyhole or in your
bag.
SP36 LOCKOUT mode doubles as a momentary moon mode. That way, after locking it and tossing it
in a bag, it can still be used to look around inside the bag without unlocking it.
Lockout uses as moonlight the floor of the current ramp. If you have two different settings for this, you
can have different illumination also.
Or you can use Muggle Mode if you want a safer way to carry your lamp with a reduced output and
don’t want lock out.
While on, a double click toggles between turbo and the memorized level. So, if you hear a noise and
want full power for a moment, double click. When you’re done, double click again to return to the
original brightness. This is handy for walking the dog: With low you can stroll, and when your dog
runs away: TURBO, when he comes back, low again.
You can have full power in one ramp and a lower ceiling in the other. By default, both ramps only go
up to ~2800 lm. And one starts at moon, while the others starts at ~4 lm. But you can change this.
Now you can play with FLOOR, CEILING and two ramps e.g.: Let’s say your favorite is smooth ramping
and you don’t like the quick step down from a ceiling at level 130. You can choose level 101 (50 clicks)
for the smooth ramp ceiling. This keeps the ceiling at a reasonable cooler level. Smooth floor on level
1 for a really dim moonlight. You can set 20 clicks for stepped floor for a usable low outdoors. And 130
for stepped ceiling if you also like to have a powerful ceil.
An option against too much heat can be different ceilings for SMOOTH RAMP and STEPPED RAMP.
