- Short tap: Do a short (less than 0.5s) half-press to go forward to
18
17
- Med tap: Do a medium (0.5s to 1.5s) half-press to go backward to

19
- Long tap: Do a long (longer than 1.5s) half-press to reset to the

first mode (if mode memory is turned off).

- Or fully click and release to turn the light off.

- Go backward from moon to access the hidden modes. They are, in

27
- Turbo (just like the regular turbo)
33

- Tactical strobe (10 Hz)

(or 2-level stutter beacon, if compiled with that option)

- Battery check / beacon mode

(each blink represents about 25% of a full charge)
37
0 blinks: < 1% full (< 3.0V)
38
1 blink : 1% to 25% full (3.0V to 3.5V)

3 blinks: 50% to 75% full (3.8V to 4.0V)

4 blinks: 75% to 100% full (4.0V to 4.2V)
42
5 blinks: > 100% full (> 4.2V)

Configuration options:
35
- Ground pin 3 of the MCU to enable mode memory. This can often be
36
done by soldering a star on the spring side of the driver, if your
37
driver supports that. Otherwise, it's pretty easy to make a
38
solder bridge from pin 3 (mode mem toggle) to pin 4 (ground). Or
39
even just wedge a piece of metal between the two pins.
48
41
- Short tap rapidly a bunch of times (15+ taps, or until the light
49
42
stops turning on) to enter soft config mode.
51
The way it works is the light will blink twice for each option,
52
then pause for a bit before moving to the next option. Turn the
53
light off between the two blinks to toggle that option.
44
With the default build, this only has one option (mode group), and
45
it will toggle that option each time config mode is entered. It
46
will then blink, pause, and return to regular operation with the
49
Or if you rebuild the source and enable more than one soft config
50
option, the way it works is the light will blink twice for each
51
option. Turn the light off between the two blinks to toggle that
52
option. The options are whichever ones you enable.
55
54
The available options are:
58
57
Group 1: moon, low, med1, med2, high1, high2, turbo
59
58
Group 2: low, med, high, turbo
63
- If CONFIG_STARS is defined, you can ground pin 3 of the MCU to
64
enable mode memory instead of using config mode. This can often
65
be done by soldering a star on the spring side of the driver, if
66
your driver supports that. Otherwise, it's pretty easy to make a
67
solder bridge from pin 3 (mode mem toggle) to pin 4 (ground). Or
68
even just wedge a piece of metal between the two pins.
60
- Mode memory toggle (disabled in default build, use pin 3 instead)
70
62
Other details to note:
72
64
- Low-voltage protection will progressively step down the output at
73
about 2.8V, and the light will shut itself off when even the
74
lowest level gets below 2.8V.
65
about 2.8V, and the light will shut itself off when it gets below 2.7V.
76
- The default turbo step-down is 45 seconds.
67
- The default turbo step-down is 30 seconds.
78
69
- When turbo steps down to high, a short tap will push it back up to
79
turbo or a medium tap will step down further, even if you got to
80
turbo by going backward from moon. The step-down effectively
70
turbo or a medium tap will step down further, *even if you got to
71
turbo by going backward from moon*. The step-down effectively
81
72
moves it from the "hidden" turbo back to the non-hidden turbo.
83
74
- A short tap from any hidden mode will return to the lowest mode.

for stable and efficient low modes.

86
- Up to 1600 lumens from a single emitter in a small tube light (with

the right battery, and a spring bypass mod). Closer to 1400 lumens

with no mods and lower-amp batteries.
