v5 Triple BOSS Flashlight (Bright Output Small Size)

[JWRitchie76]

I sent this question in email earlier but figured I'd ask here too. Can the programming website be accessed and utilized to program a light from a Galaxy or apple smart phone/notepad?

Sorry, having trouble keeping up this week! Yes, the only hard requirement is that you have internet access. You can test it before purchase, on all your devices:

1) load http://lux-rc.com/content/NXS/NXS_R1_setup

2) log in or create an account

3) build a test configuration

4) press the orange save-and-program button and then program

Once you see a green square that turns into a flashing square, you are good to go

While I can access the programming site from my iPhone 5, actually using it to modify a program is quite difficult. I found it easier to save a bunch of different programs to online file storage, and accessing those programs from my phone.

It may be possible to use a 7" or larger tablet without challenges, but I don't own one to try.

What is the difference between the R33 and the A33? They both indicate XPL HI (30w). Maybe I missed it somewhere....

 

[NICSAK]

Amber or red I believe

Sorry for the confusion. The letter is the name of the secondary color

Do you want the secondary color to be red or amber

How do you figure out the design Dan and what made you choose the one you have made over possible others?. Do you have designs of ones in the short list(if there was one). Honestly, i dont think i have seen a light that is so cosmetically appealing(thats before you get to the engine). It really is a work of art, that is all purposeful and thought out..................its genius imho.

I was expecting something really cool.............as was everyone, but even still it took me back in design. The patina idea was the icing on the cake

I can't wait to get my hands on this light! It really is a work of art, although I'm not afraid to put it to use [emoji48]

Sorry... out of my depth here and don't need to clutter someone's thread with my baloney.

My dad was born on a dairy farm in the 1930's. He made and fixed things himself mechanical and electrical, raising me with a love for tools and science/engineering. The design question the BOSS answers is: how would someone in the 1930's dream of a future flashlight to look? Tom then applied blood sweat and tears to metal and glass, turning this vision into something you can hold and use. So the shape is both the ideal tool handle for getting things done and a rocket ship from vintage comic books.

4) Optic, this is about beam shape. The XPL triple is by nature a floody beast, so most choose narrow.

Bearing in mind that the XPL-Hi has a more concentrated beam than the XPL with dome on, does this apply to the XPL-Hi triples too?

 

[mk2rocco]

XPL with dome doesn't fit under a triple. But if I did I would think it would be floodier

 

[ElectronGuru]

Yes, good point...

Domed XPL (which don't fit under triple optics) have less throw than domeless XPL
HI and redomed both have enhanced throw vs domed
Even domeless XPL are inherently floody with triple optics
