Da bin ich überaus gespannt. Aber ehrlich: Wenn 4 Lampen bei 3 Leuten blitzen, dann wird es die 5. auch tun.Bin gespannt ob dann alles funktioniert.
Das vermute ich leider auch. Aber ich hoffe die wird vorher ordentlich getestet. Vielleicht auch ne schlechte Charge LEDs/Chips?! kein Plan. Von den Problemen hat man ja sonst noch nichts gehört außer hier. Wäre intressant ob es bei der XS (die mit den 3 LEDs) auch die Probleme gibt.Da bin ich überaus gespannt. Aber ehrlich: Wenn 4 Lampen bei 3 Leuten blitzen, dann wird es die 5. auch tun.
Zwischendrin hab ich noch nicht ausprobiert, nur bei 1%.@Walkerk auch zwischen 1- ca. 20%?
hat es vielleicht bisher noch keinen so richtig gestört und ich bin zu empfindlich?
New Firmware Update:Bin immer noch guter Dinge dass in naher Zukunft ein Firmware Update alles behebt.
Der Hersteller ist schon an Kundenrückmeldungen interessiert, sonst wäre er ja nicht bei mtbr.com. Dort ist übrigens auch der amerikanische Glowormdistributor (Action LED) aktiv, ich denke da kommt einiges an Rückmeldungen nach NZ.Nur mit Feedback, auch mit negativem, kann das Produkt verbessert werden.
Hey, unfortunately the battery will no allow draw from 2 devices. Thanks!No. Only from the off position. Or I can't use it ...
What is also worth mentioning, you can also program the switch so that you switch the lamp brighter with one button and darker with the other. You can also pair another lamp with this one switch and then operate it simultaneously or separately.
Regarding the battery: I think GW naturally wants to market its in-house battery. This also has a small OLED display with various display options. It also seems to have a motion sensor, but as soon as you pick it up, the display goes on and shows the charge status. In addition, there is the possibility to update the battery firmware (and also the lamp firmware) with the mobile phone app via BT. To what extent this is still possible with an accessory battery remains to be found out. By the way, the 10,000 battery lasts a very long time in practice. Most of the time I get into the dark on the way back and then need the special mode and also the light levels on the last piece of forest home. So I easily pack 5 tours until the next charging process.
What I would also be interested in is whether the battery can also feed a second device (smartphone) in parallel with a Y-cable or a kind of mini-hub. It works as a separate power bank.
The attachment of the battery under the top tube is still suboptimal for me. I want to try to attach the battery to the bottle holder using the Fidlock. I got the parts for it today. If the tinkering should work, I'll post pictures.
Thanks for the feedback, can you give some more information about what is happening with the App regards IOS15? We'd be interested in making immediate changes to fix this. CheersI only have the small battery and it goes to the helmet or the back of the headband (splitboarding, hiking, camping) ... it's a terrible fiddling with the headband because the Velcro constantly gets stuck on the tape.
On the helmet, I'm not yet sure how well the whole thing holds when shaken properly (battery is already attached horizontally).
What else I noticed:
- Could it be that you have to reconnect the remote control every time you disconnect the lamp and battery !?
- The iOS app needs an update, hangs up with me under iOS15 almost every time you want to create a new profile
We certainly understand and accept that you shouldn't have to deal with these issues. This is one of the reason we built in the ability to update FW in both the light and battery. No product is ever going to be perfect and every single issue is never going to be discovered. Mobile phones are a perfect example.I am also concerned with the "low beam" in traffic when commuting / on the way to the trails or the obligatory beer / mulled wine break on the night ride. And as I said, I do not accept such quirks with a 200 € lamp.
Your lamp talks to the battery and negotiates power requirement. The system is designed around USB PD and although will work with USB protocols it will be at low power.I couldn't resist and once ordered an X2 G2.0 with the small battery.
Does the lamp actually talk to the battery? And / or can the lamp also be operated from a different USC-C source? If so, what if it doesn't have enough thump?
Does the lamp adhere to the PD standard?
Questions upon questions ...
Hey, we are currently looking into the low temp limits and the ability to adjust these limits a little. The temp limits are governed by the batteries and looking after the life of those batteries. Using batteries at cold or very hot temperatures is not good practice however we were being a little conservative when setting those limits. Usually when the light is running, the heat generated by the battery electronics is enough to keep cells at a good temperature (below 60deg C and above 0). However if the battery is left to sit in the cold, it may get so cold that it will not turn on. We'll get back to you if we can increase these limits.Today the first disillusionment: The lamp just got out of the car, luckily not while I was driving (and in that case I would have had a second lamp in operation anyway). It was slightly cold (-4 ° C), I had the lamp on for a while, maybe a good half an hour. Then there was a short cocoa break, during which I first dimmed the lamp all the way down and then switched it off completely. When we wanted to continue, the lamp no longer wanted. The display on the battery did not show anything, the lamp did not mux, and reconnecting the cable did not help either. At home, after "defrosting" it works again, the battery is 79%.
How is your experience in cold temperatures?
If the lamp comes off reproducibly in this way, it is unfortunately unusable for me.
On the website I cannot find any information on ambient temperature limits for operation ...
You should be notified automatically of available updates. The latest App update that has the latest FW update is 1.10. maybe a manual app check will be useful - we'll look into that!
I would like to know that too. I'm relatively sure that I never saw anything about software updates in the app (Android). So no display / popup, and also no menu item with which I could check manually.
Hey - some of the guidance given here is a little inaccurate from our Greek team. We're all learning about the new products and as such some of the information can get confusing when giving advice.The support from Greece wrote the following to me about firmware:
have you updated the firmware? the correct time shown etc are being solved by updating the firmware
it is not done automatically, you need to to do a couple of clicks
you have to pair the phone to the app and wait up to a couple of minutes before the message that prompts you to update is shown
if the message does not appear, force stop the app from your phone settings and start again
if not, uninstall and install the app and try again
i've updated some batteries myself, so i give you this tips from experience
Also, some crazy letters showing, might happen if you have unplugged the lightset-battery pair in a very humid environment, which is not recommended
but, give it a few hours and it will be back to normal
in any case, do your tests and send me your feedback
if the issues remain, you got you covered and we will proceed with a warranty replacement
However, it didn't work for me. New lamp is now at home. I'm going to test tonight
Hey - the reason that Andorid is behind IOS is that we had some extras issues with IOS that we did not have with Android. We have not released a FW update since this particular app update, so if it does not offer an update then your devices are fully up to do date. The flashing at low power is yet to be fixed, but we are working on it as we speak.Short test of the new lamp head: "Same shit, different day" Shows exactly the same behavior as the old one. Flashing at a low setting and no firmware update on two different Android smartphones. Either it's the battery or I'm out of luck with the lamp. Slowly it really annoys me too ...
Edit: Android version even older than ios

Hi Bruce,
I highly rate that you chimed in here. It surely will be possible to improve G2.0 with the experience of our users here.
You mentioned some good ideas above. Considering the app some updates would be very nice.
You wrote the light has not been tested very much at lower outputs. I think flickering randomly occurs up to 30%. But for me it is really important to use 1% light output on the streets, too. More power will result in such a bright light output that you're be able to beam away every car in front of you...
And for mounting the powerpack unit at the bike please look at my solution above in post #26. This fidlock stuff really works and is bombproof. Maybe you'll be able to offer a proper adapter to fit the powerpack to fidlock's base plate in future. Or offer a similar system as an accesoire. I think printing a prototype via 3D should be easy but unfortunately I do not have the ability for this. And personally for me it would be a great addition to get a power cable length at let's say 90cm.
Commercially availible USB-C cables cannot be used because of the lack of water proofness. And the standard USB-C connector itself is too weak for proper machanically fitting the cable.
Cheers
And
