Very cool that such a full-featured and special edition flashlight is at such a reasonable price, nicely done. One thing though; it doesn't look Italian. No one mistakes the Delghi Iris as coming from any place other than Italy - this is an excellent business suit, now it just needs the flashy athletic sneakers..

Could you please explain thermal calibration?

In the configuration mode :

Thermal calibration. Set the temperature at which the light will begin stepping down to cool itself off. After clicking to
select this, the light should turn on in a special thermal
calibration mode. It will start at a medium-low brightness,
wait a second or two, then step up to turbo.


- To turn off thermal regulation, click within the first second
(while the output is relatively low).


- To set a new maximum temperature, leave the light on until
you think it is too hot, then turn it off. From this point
on, the light will use that new temperature as its maximum
allowed heat.

I can, because this is the same driver found in the last BLF Kronos lights. What you do is enter the programming and select the thermal calibration, which forces the light into turbo mode and waits for your input. Then you hold the light while it runs on turbo until its temperature is the highest level you're comfortable with and turn it off. The driver memorizes this temperature and will step itself down so as not to exceed that temperature in the future. You can also turn off all temperature control so it doesn't step down at all.

The full details on the firmware can be found in the author's readme file, which is here: http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~toykee.../trunk/view/head:/ToyKeeper/bistro/bistro.txt

Try sending cyberescudo a PM at BLF. He should be watching pretty closely today. I believe he lives in Italy, so, depending on his sleeping habits, turnaround may take a day, or so.

If you have an account there, you can also post at CPFItalia. That's where the group buy originated.

Yup, I got in on a NW. For those interested, just a heads up, it looks like they are out of stock until May 1. I saw some folks on BLF complain about that, but it doesn't bother me. It's not like I don't have 100 plus other lights I can play with for a few days! lol

For those who are not modding their own flashlights, this looks like a must-have zoomie.

When the group buy is over in a few weeks, this is going to be just like the BLF Kronos X6/X5. There are going to be a lot of people scratching their heads, wondering how they missed it.

Akhyar- You are certainly correct about the 3 post/private message requirement. However, with roughly the same effort, cyberscudo could leave a visitor message by going to audio2's profile page with the code... :)
