If this is done with a programmable microcontroller I imagine it would take a skilled programmer about 5 minutes to remove the jumping while keeping bi-directionality.
Hi Helmut,
Thanks for the feedback.
By the cycling, I'm referring to after reaching mode 4, if you keep turning, there should be no change in modes.
Currently, if you keep turning, beyond mode 4, you get back to "Off". Not sure if that's what you meant by the jumping, but if yes, we are on the same page
In theory, I agree that it's doable but might depend on the chip & circuit config because we need to store both the current mode, and the direction the turns happened in. I will let you know but any feedback/advice is always welcomed.
I have had many bare aluminium lights and have held on to them for many years. I still have one of the first bare aluminium Raw lights ever made in the good old days when things were running smoothly.
I have never had any problems with any of these lights in terms of oxidation, problematic threads or any other criticism that is levelled at them.
I think there must be some misconceptions about bare Aluminium because in practice, all my bare Al lights have stood the test of time with hardly any maintenance required.
I also love the look of bare Al and have requested one or two of these from twgnn in his earlier threads. For some reason, I don't seem to be receiving the emails anymore though.
Hi easilyled,
Thanks for posting that.
The Graphite Black version is a definite.
Raw Alum is an easy to do option of course.
And I'm also "thinking" of a limited edition run in Ti, but my main concern with the Ti is the poor heat transfer compared to Alum.
About not receiving emails, that would be my fault,
I have not sent any recently, whilst I was waiting for the working proto to arrive.
I have been working on the update and hope to get it out soon.

p.s. Just got a few NiMh's, charging at the moment, though I did a quick test with a low-charged one and mode 4 was accessible.
