Your video has been a great help..it took me a long time to figure it out how to set the thermal..7H wait for 1 blink then let go..my ts21 turbo step down about 15 sec, now it can go up to 1 min..super hot but i like it, it sustains quite good before step down especially in hi mode..it works on all sofirn and wurkkos anduril2..i only did the thermal..thanks!
One thing I noticed in the vid is you didn’t say to wait for 2 flashes when doing the 7 click and hold when setting the upper limit Temp to 70°C The first time you do it and wait a spit second for the first flash, that’s for setting the lower limit with the fallowing 1 click or 30° Just thought it’s an important step to watch for when setting the temperatures. This is the first time I’ve don’t this with any of my lights but I have to Wurkkos TS21’s and like yours they won’t stay on turbo long at all but they do now ! Thanks man !
@@smotheredchrome I have the opposite experience as Lume-O-Holic. I was always waiting for the "second" flash as per the written instructions but it never seemed to come and the light would just turn off. Turned out what I saw as the "first" flash was actually the second flash, as was clarified in your video while I watched it. You explained it all just fine, I think.
It's going on a year, how's the TS21 been runnin' bubba? I just got one, first experience with Anduril 2, and am thinking about making the changes. Please let me know when you have a moment. Hope it'll be a happy, health, and fortuitous 2024 for all!
Чувак, видео очень полезное и это самое главное. Большое спасибо. Но стоит отметить что немного сложно слушать и понимать, когда ты говоришь эээ хм а, да, а, хмммм)
Best video I've seen on the calibration! Those are tricky to figure out. Have you been able to get the full 11K lumens on the Q8 pro or the full 3800 on the if25a? I can't get more than 2500 on my if25a (same lumen tube as you have) even using a P42A 21700!
@@itzpogboy What LED did you get it with? The advertised turbo lumens are done with the coolest, brightest LED option, in this case, 6500K. The lower the colour temperature, the lower the max lumen output. I also notice a lot of leakage in your setup when you're measuring. Since lumens are total output in all directions, that could also account for some reduction.
I would not recommend to do the voltage trick to gain just few lumens. These flashlights have low voltage protection to avoid damaging the battery. It is a good trick if you are using protected batteries. However, those batteries do not have high current discharge rates.
Thank you my friend I appreciate the info. I keep them topped off always, and I have a repair external charger, you are definitely correct about damage to battery if you let the voltage drop to low.
Hi, can u please make an video especially for the Wurkkos TS21 voltage and temperature setting? cause i cant get it... i have the v0612 firmware from 2020 installed. my issue is the 7H for temperature. i only can get the 1st flash. but not the second flash to set max temp. thx^^
it looks like you do know your flashlights so this should be easy question for you, Which flashlight with 18650 battery has illuminated switch button in off position like BLF Q8? And does any of them have illuminated switch button changing color when the battery is getting depleted in off position? It would be a great help. Thank you.
Thank you I appreciate your comment 🙏 The sofirn sc31 pro is 18650 with anduril 2, There is a few lights with illuminated switch for power indicator, I believe I have a few but have to go thru them cannot think of any right now, I will let you know if I run across them.
Isnt the thermometer rendered useless because you have it in your hand or your pocket you body temperature influences it and then when the ligjt comes on that affects it?
@@smotheredchrome yeah same here, just wasn’t sure if you were aware of that issue on those. It has made me check all of my lights that have on board charging just to be sure they are safe.
Honestly I never trust on-board charging if I have to use it I will, depending on battery set a time limit and try to hit the 80 to 90 percent but if it has built-in batteries I charge till full and keep my eyes on it.
Can't wait to get my TS21 and see how much of a difference this will make. I'm sure it will be a nice improvement. Thanks for the video Smothered Chrome!
Thank you I appreciate your comment 🙏 That's actually a great question, I've noticed that it disables a few for example I have my lt1 both set up on the max and when it comes to recharging they both are under 3.6 so I have to slow charge them back to health. So IMHO I believe the voltage calibration does effect the voltage protection I'm not 100% sure but does seem that way.
You do realize how much energy is stored in a 21700? And being sealed in an aluminum tube makes doing this extremely dangerous. Do you know how this affects charging the battery internally?
Thank you my friend I appreciate your comment 🙏 Yes I realize how much energy is in a 21700. I've been doing this since anduril 2 was released and never had any issues or problems, lithium batteries are dangerous in general, and I recommend to everyone who's not comfortable or extremely cautious don't set up your light like this, it's definitely not for everyone, but if you are somewhat like me this is a awesome setup. I don't recommend charging in this setup, I use external chargers but I have charged the battery in the setup format and no issues I did keep my eyes on it while it was charging.
Sorry to hear that my friend, I've been blessed with all the lithium batteries I own, I've only had one wurkkos 26650 battery leak , I also use common sense with my batteries even though I setup my lights for maximum results, I still store and take care of my cells
@@smotheredchrome yeah this was due to being dropped which ended up causing thermal runaway. I charge my batteries with a Vapcell S4 plus which is a nice and safe charger. I do use the 5000 mAh wurkkos which came with the TS21 some but trust my Samsung and Molicel batteries far more than those wrapped Lishen batteries.
I set the voltage calibration to 4.5 volts and thermal configuration I set up the light to think it's colder than it actually is then I set the max temperature limit. I haven't had any issues with the way I set it up other than it getting hotter
Thank you. your 1st calibration do not set it to 1 Celsius like I did set it to your room temperature and then on the 2nd setting you can set to the max. Your light will be fine it will run hotter on turbo though.
Don't worry about that I have a couple that do the same it is still configured. Quick question do you like the new settings compared to the stock settings or have you had enough time to use it in the new settings?
It is technically possible but would be difficult. It also wouldn't work with all lights as the flashing pads would need to be exposed. It should be possible to build your own anduril image with your preferred settings, then flash the... flashlight with the image. There's definitely not a beginner way to do that, though.
@@smotheredchrome thank you, yes I have the anduril 2. I wasn’t sure if that will work on the other models of Configurations, because of what the higher limits are etc. on them. I’m also wondering why they changed the led color of the button on the sp36 pro to red/orange. I have another that is green when off. Maybe new vs old model?
@@smotheredchrome yeah it’s weird. I bought one off Amazon and it was green. I returned it and bought the sp36 pro again and q8 on the main site since it was cheaper on there. But, being new, I’m having a hard time understanding the whole thing with anduril2. I understand the modes but how to max it out on brightness etc. I don’t know the limits and what it can do by changing the temp settings.
What I've noticed and have been doing with the temperature is tricking the light to thinking it's colder than it actually is and what that does is makes your lumens drop less but your light will get hotter at brighter levels, and from doing all my research and personal tests leds are very hard to burnout when configured with anduril 1 or 2 I have never damaged any of my lights.
@@smotheredchrome I'm trying to figure out what is the maximum temperature I can set this thing without burning it up and causing it to explode I watched your video of the ts-10 but it's getting so hot now it almost blows up without dimming I'm trying to do this to all my Andurial two flashlights I wish you would make a video on temperature and voltage calibration and what the flashlight thinks the temperature is
I purchased the TS today and I cannot seem to figure out without almost blowing the flashlight up it's getting so hot that it's actually keeping its temperature but I know it will break the flashlight so I'm trying to find out what's the brightest I can keep it at
I do have a video on voltage calibration and temperature regulation On how to apply it, when you calibrate your flashlight it's going to get hotter than normal configuration to the point where it can burn you, I configure all my anduril lights and use them moderately never full turbo because of heat problems, short burst of turbo and hi mode works well for me. I hope this helps you out and if you have any more questions I will definitely try to help you out, Thank you for your comment and support 🙏

If not the best is one of the best videos I've ever seen explaining how to calibrate the lights with anduril/2. Good job.
Thank you so much I appreciate you
I just want to say thanks for putting in the time with the Wurkkos, I bought mine and was disappointed. Now that i have set the thermals its amazing!

So the TS21 should get up to 3500 lumens on startup, why are you only getting 2500 lumens on Turbo?
Dunno tbh😊

it is the same to calibrate the wurkkos ts11?
Yes and I believe the factory thermal settings is 45c
A lot of those q8 pros had overcharging problems if you use the onboard charging. I know mine doesn’t stop at 4.2 volts.
I usually charge my batteries on a smart charger unless I am away from my chargers I'll use on-board

So if you change your voltage does that stop the low voltage protection?
Thank you I appreciate your comment 🙏

@@smotheredchrome I changed mine back for now only 14500 I have.
If you run the voltage calibration to max just charge your batteries more frequently that's what I do and haven't had any issues.

Does the thermal regulation of sofirn the same as Lumintop FW3A?
Yes just check your manual to see what the factory settings is so you can adjust from there
