The RAW ORB DDs the UYOJ emitters. Anyways, the FLuPIC uses a LDO regulator so it is safe to put 4.2V as input...

I assume it will be a few more days for me, since I'm in the US.

However, I haven't seen nor heard a peep out of Warren lately, so who knows when I'll be getting the JILs to install them in... =(

At first I couldn't figure out how to set the high-mode since the light always blinked once (eg: setting low-mode) and I didn't know how to get it to blink twice. After a while, I discovered that in order to set the high-mode, you need to let the low-mode cycle through and then it will blink twice. Had some flickering problem also, I think it's because that the retaining ring wasn't tight down enough. I'll keep an eye for that.

I was wondering: is there a voltage cut-off? or if I let it on will it drain/overdischarge my RCR2?

Marc,

Yes, tighten the retaining ring so it's pretty tight. Don't be afraid to do that as it is the only electrical path to the body and heat transfer will be much better.

Once you figure everything out, it should be easy to use. I usually keep it on mode 4 and don't change from that too often. =P Cheers!

There is a cutoff voltage at 2V but that is a little low for the battery. When the battery gets to 2.7V, it is DD with the lux so it gets pretty dim. You should know when you should top off the battery. Maybe should make it a habit to top the battery off ever so often because short cycles will make the battery last a lot longer. Thanks!

Got mine today ! Thanks!

One question, where is the boost mode ? I only have low/high .

 

[goldserve]

Re: FS: 2 Remaining FluPIC JIL DD sandwhiches! Pics!

It is default on simple mode, like mode 1...you have to switch to user mode 4 for low, high and burst. I think you are fimilar with that =P

I hate to be the "village idiot"...But I guess it comes with the territory of my still being not only a relatively new "Flashaholic"...but also a complete dunce when it comes to electronics. Anyway, with a lot of the lingo in this thread still being somewhat "Greek" to me...I got a couple of questions...

I just received a Jil 1.3 (up)...Great little light...very nice beam. Carried it on my keychain today and really loved it. Now I've also got a Raw on the way including a charger and several spare RCR2's. I've gotten quite used to using R123's (both protected and unprotected) with many of my other, smaller lights...and I would prefer to use RCR2's if possible with the Jil 1.3 up.

So here are my 2 bottom line questions...

As relates to this thread, is there anything I can/should do to even further improve my Jil 1.3 (up)? (Improved brightness, able to use R123's)?

And is it possible for me to use R123's in the Jil 1.3 (up) in its current, stock form?

Thanks...

Re: FS: 2 Remaining FluPIC JIL DD sandwhiches! Pics!

I can make a JIL 1.3W drop in sandwhich which gives you the ability to use RCR2 and increased brightness, 600ma on high and up to 1A on burst.

Don't hesitate to ask any questions you may have =P

That sounds good to me...Just tell me how much and where to send it.

BTW-Little bits and pieces of info are slowly starting to sink in...The longer I hang around (and the more money I spend) the more I'm inclined (and incented) to learn... As much $$$ as I've dropped in the past month alone, I damn well better start learning something!
