'secret' Photon auto-off mode? Freedom and Rex; 3 min. w/ ramp

[Enzo Morocioli]

I'd just like to mention that after activating the auto-off feature of my red Photon Freedom, the time till off is only 1 minute and 30 seconds. There is an initial dimming just before auto-off, and no matter if you press the button while it's dimming to keep it active, it will turn off. Anyone else seeing <or= 1m:30s before auto-off?

I finally got around to trying this out and my Freedom (maybe 1-2 years old) doesn't seem to have the feature. Is there a way to identify the version number or anything like that?

Well I don't know if there's a version number or not, but I do know that I purchased my photon freedom in October of 2006 and auto-off works.. A friend of mine purchased one in late July of 2006 and it does not seem to have auto-off.
