      Thanks! I notice kelvin is used to describe warm ness/coolness of the light or how muc red or blue in the light. Is this an affect temperature has on spectrum rather than spectrum itself?

    I actually like the low high medium setup. Coming from Fenix lights when them and 4sevens were really the only names in the game, you really only need a bit or a lot. I rarely run a medium mode on a now embarrassingly large collection of flashlights. Other then my olight S1RII (in copper of course) which I try and leave on medium but usually end up using quick access moonlight or turbo. While it’s not logical in order it’s really functional.

    Single click does momentary turbo (release to end)
    Double click turns it on and cycles through modes
    Triple click gives you a 1 lumen moonlight mode. Which is handy
    The max lumen on the nichia version is only 350 but it's a much better tint color. 4500k i think

    Just wondering if you have tried hooking one of them up to a computer to see if you could run a micro controller program to adjust the settings? In my mind I would think the same micro slot to charge is the same spot they program the chip at the factory and you might get lucky running arduino ide

    I’m thinking about ordering a couple of the A1x, I find it peculiar the polymer A1x $19 and the titanium A4x $63 have the same exact 2 year warranty lol

    nm stands for nanometers. They represent the wavelengths of those two colors.
