Okay, at first I thought I'd never use the FUI and now I can't stop customizing the thing. Now I know what everyone's been raving about. What a great little light.
 
Forgive me if this is an obvious answer...but. How long is the "hold" part of a press and hold?
I have an R2 on the way and have been studying the flowcharts. If in CUI and I want MAX output (1C+PH). When you release it then stays in MAX I assume?
 
I think the hold is around 1 or 2 seconds. Not long. The clicks and presshold do feel well timed and its very easy to get the hang of it. BTW, where did you order the R2 from? I'm thinking about getting one but kuku appears to be closed temporarily and elite doesn't offer the R2 version.

Yes, when you release the button it says in max. I think the hold is around 1 or 2 seconds. Not long. The clicks and presshold do feel well timed and its very easy to get the hang of it. BTW, where did you order the R2 from? I'm thinking about getting one but kuku appears to be closed temporarily and elite doesn't offer the R2 version.


Oops, sorry for the double post, my browser is playing tricks on me.

I bought the R2 from Kuku, before he sold out. Not sure why the sales thread is closed, hopefully just because he's temporarily out of stock.

thanks for the reply,
 
Well with the R2's it's more like permanently out of stock. I am saving 3 R2s to go with Ti tubes when they arrive.

The other dealers caught a piggyback from my spearhead and will have their own R2s in a few days. But there were only 110 made. So once those are gone...you'll have to settle for third party modded R2s.

I closed my sales thread just to take a much needed break. Some of you might have figured out that in order for me to answer emails and posts the way I do, I don't have time to get much sleep. That and the day job has taken its toll. And since I'm out of stock... :laughing:

But I will be back! Sapphire windows for the LF2XT are expected to arrive 7/18 so I guess I'll reopen the thread then.
 
Lets hope they decide to make more R2's. Considering how fast they sold out there seems to be a big demand. Maybe Kuku could suggest another run of R2's to Liteflux? :poke: After he gets some rest of course. 🙂

The difference between C (Click) and PH (Press and Hold) is that click lasts less than 0.3 sec and PH lasts more than 0.3 sec. You can find it explained in the manual.

Another way to show how the CUI works is this video:

I uploaded a video on youtube that shows the LF2XT accessories and the CUI. I will upload other videos about FUI, programmation, perhaps some outdoor stuff and so on.

You find it here.

Hope that helps.

Any ideas on when the Ti Tritum buttons will be available?

You deserve a well needed break.:sleepy: You really went the extra mile in servicing all of our needs... or should I say wants! :thanks:
 
No problem Handy. I just tried to do what I would want my web dealer to do.

The tritium vial samples were taken to LF last Tuesday when I picked up the R2s. LF will measure the vials, call up the original CAD drawings, make modifications, send drawings to the machine shop. The machine shop has to then source Ti and find machine time.

In short... I have no clue! 😕

But I will call LF up in a day or two and ask about progress.
 
Two vials in the button. The walls are too thin to put any on the body without piercing the tubes. There is space for some around the bezel if we pierce the tube around the reflector and Norland the entire assembly in there....

First impression wasn't good cuz i thought it looked really flimsy and all (due to not being use to such a small light) but after awhile i came to realise its not so and should be weight for weight equal to the bigger lights in strength.

So far the CUI seems perfectly workable to me.
Still exploring the FUI.
Only stuck at the Settings chart now, a little confused...

I'm happy for you! Don't worry for the programmation, I'm going to upload a video about it in a couple of days :twothumbs.
 
Guys, I found a strange thing in the beacon/strobe programmation.
If I try to program the frequency of the beacon/strobe I can only exit by 3C+PH(saving the new frequency). If I try to exit with 3C (if I don't want to save the new frequency) I can't. 3C does nothing. If I want to exit I have to do 3C+PH (saving the new frequency) or 4C and then 3C.

Let me tell you what I did. We are already in FUI and Mode 1 is set to a beacon or a strobe (it could be Mode 2,3,4 or 5):

C: Off->On (Mode 1)
3C+PH: Mode 1->Programming Mode (here we program the brightness)
4C😛rogramming Mode (here we program the brightness)->Programming Mode (here we program the frequency)

Now if I want to exit without saving, 3C doesn't work.
The part that doesn't work is in the red circle:



Does the same happen to you?

P.S.: 4C works in both directions, shouldn't it be like this (Disclaimer: Note that this is not the original flowchart, I changed it a bit. If you want to download the original flowchart use the right link!):

?
 
Same here. 4C and then 3C to exit without saving. Or 3C+PH to save and exit from stobe/beacon frequency setting mode. BTW, I find the small instruction manual much easier to use than the flowchart.

This should be good news for fans of the R2 who live in the US.
I just got this message from EliteLED:

Hi Bill,

I'm glad to inform you that LiteFlux made a special run on LF2XT with Cree XP-E R2 White LEDs (WH bin). The quantity is very limited, and the cost was much higher. We have them in stock just now. If you like white tint LEDs, it's the chance before they're gone.

Cheers!!


Thanks,

I received my R2 WH today - only 5 days, not bad! I wonder where there are construction instructions and where I can obtain the rest of the parts to be able to construct the charger? If any one has managed to put one together, please post with pics. I would really appreciate any help any of you can give on this. Now that I own both 2XTs I find that the regular is a bit warm for my taste and the R2 WH is too cold (actually a bit green) for my taste also. I have tailstanded both close together on a totally white ceiling and get a beam color that i think is near ideal. Has anyone else tried this and, if so, does anyone have an idea what the eventual bin nr. would be?
 
Sorry! The construction instructions are here:
http://www.expandku.com/charger.html

5 days...new record! I usually average around 7
Please make sure you have proper knowledge of chargers, electronics, and Li Ion batteries before proceeding.

Gee...that pic of the R2s on Elite's site looks amazing like mine if you photoshop the dealer name out... Must be my imagination... :poke:
