I thought of it today and decided that I'll proof that NovaTac 120P is the most configurable flashlight known to man.* To do that, I'll count all possible settings of NovaTac 120P
I'll start off simply:
I. Tactical Momentary setting - NTac has only one brightness level
a. Ntac can be set to one of 25 available brightness levels.
b. Automatic Button Lock can be turned on. That gives us 50 (25x2) possible configurations.
c. Flash Locator can also be turned on, that gives us 100 (2x50) possible configurations.
II. NTac in fully configurable mode.
Since I plan to count absolutely all of the possible configurations, I'll count even those that make practically no sense at all, but are still possible.
For example such ones:
m s p M
1 1 1 1
1 1 1 2
1 1 2 1
1 2 1 1
2 1 1 1
Legend:
m- Minimal
d- Secondary
p - Primary
M - Maximum
Numbers - brightness in Lumens
Here we go
a. We have 25 possible brightness levels (22 normal + 3 Stobos) that can be assigned to each one of 4 available brightness settings. In order to get a total amount of possibilities I'll use the mathematical variation with repeats (sorry friends I do not know how is it exactly named in USA), this means 25 to the fourth power, that is: 390 625 possibilities.
b. In each of the above mentioned configurations NTac 120P can have the Strobe or SOS signal turned on (from the Options Menu level). This gives us 390 625 configs with Strobe and 390 625 configs with SOS signal. Total number by now is 1 171 875 possible settings (390 625 configs from II.a plus 2 x 390 625 configs from II.b).
c. In each of the above mentioned configurations, the Flash Locator can be turned on, and that gives a total amount of: 2 343 750 possible configurations. (1 171 875 x 2).
d. In each of the above mentioned configurations, Automatic Button Lock can be turned on, and that gives a total amount of: 4 687 500 possible configurations (2 343 750 x 2).
e. In each of the above mentioned configurations, Automatic Turn Off can be turned on, and that gives a total amount of: 9 375 000 possible configurations (4 687 500 x 2).
f. In each of the above mentioned configurations, Simple Momentary option can be turned on, and that gives a total amount of: 18 750 000 possible configurations. (9 375 000 x 2)
g. In each of the above mentioned configurations, Brightness Ramping option can be turned on, and that gives a total amount of 37 500 000 possible configurations. (18 750 000 x 2)
h. Do not worry, I'm almost finished
In each of the above mentioned settings, NovaTac 120P can be forced to start at one of four available Brightness Settings. That gives us a total amount of 150 000 000 possible configurations (4 x 37 500 000).
III. Conclusions
In Tactical Momentary NovaTac 120P can configured in 100 different ways, in normal mode it has a total amount of 150 000 000 different settings available.
And that gives a final conclusion:
NovaTac 120P be set to 150 000 100 different configurations
*It's a clear sign that I do have a fever and way too much free time today. :nana:
