Thelight will accumulate a lot of heat when used on High mode for extended periods. When the light reaches a temperature of 60C or above, the light will automatically step down a few lumens to reduce the temperature. When the temperature drops below 60C, it will then allow the user the reselection of High mode.
When the voltage level drops below the preset level, the flashlight is programmed to downshift to a lower brightness level until Eco mode is reached. When this happens in Eco mode, the battery level indicator blinks 3 times every 10 minutes to remind you to timely recharge the battery.
A: The runtime of the High output is 1 hour and 20 minutes. The light will rapidly accumulate a lot of heat when used on 500 lumens / High output. When the light reaches a temperature of a certain level, the light will automatically step down a few lumens to reduce the temperature. So the runtime of High output is measured in a total of runtime including output at reduced levels due to temperature or protection mechanism in the design. The stated data are from the results produced by Fenix through its laboratory testing under the temperature of 213C according to the ANSI/PLATO FL1 standard. (For specific runtime performance, refer to the runtime graph in the manual)
This is an excellent keychain flashlight. It is small, convenient, fits nicely into a pocket, and has a bright light with no worry about blowing the bulb. It has already come in very handy on several occasions. I don't have to use my cellphone flashlight, which drains the battery. It has a rechargeable battery and flashing signalling lights for emergencies. Overall, a very useful product.
Looks like a regular key fob and it's pretty small, but this little guy packs a significant punch. I can't speak to battery life yet but I've already used this thing a ton. Super handy to have it w/ your keys - house, car, doesn't matter. I bought them for my kids, and yes, it's infinitely better than the iphone built in flash light. They doubted me but they're believers now too.
The Light itself is fantastic. Bright, long life, all sorts of modes and lighting options. The issue is that the button is not recessed and so accidentally turning the light on in your pocket (even with the lockout engaged) will happen almost immediately if you have anything else in the same pocket. The fix was actually simple. I added a 2mm thick piece of plastic cut to fit the button area on the body (with the hole punched out for the button itself) and attached it using 3M VHB. Not a single issue since. Highly recommended light!
By itself, I love the form factor, brightness modes, battery life, features, and USB-C charging. However, like many of you, I have it on a keychain with my car key fob, which is a lot to fit in a pocket. Not the end of the world - I still carry it on the key chain, but it's bulky. Maybe I should carry it off of the keychain. Also, I haven't found a need for the red light. Despite my complaints, I believe this is the best flashlight with this form factor so it still get's 5 stars.
The red light can preserve your night vision. If the room is already dark and you are using this to find something, the red light is not as startling to your eyes, nor will it wake up those around you who may already be asleep.
Keep it in a pocket, your briefcase, anywhere. So lightweight you'll forget it's on you, but when you need a proper flashlight (not the "flashlight" on your phone), it adjusts quickly and conveniently to find the small screws in a dark corner or coins under your car seat. The lock out feature means you can keep it stored anywhere without concern it's going to switch on,
Mainly I use auto charging mode, but I have some situations (and these will increase as autumn and winter approach) when I must charge the EV in afternoon hours or during night. But problem is that charging power is drawn from the home batteries as other devices in home installation. Yes, is it possible to connect EVCS before Multis, but then I will not be able to charge EV from solar panels during grid outage.
In my opinion charging EV battery from the home batteries makes no sense (economically and also physically due to power losses, battery cycling and so on), so I made simple flow in Node-RED for change ESS min. SOC during manual EV charging (automatically change value according to actual value and set back when charging finished), so EV is charged only from solar panels (in case of sufficient power) or from the grid, but not from the home battery.
The EVCS interface is already very complex, and there are lots of other parameters available over modbus.
Adding another setting will make it even more complicated. I'm not sure if that's something that we want.
for me, it is not problem, I made it using Node-RED, the great "weapon" in Victron PV system. But for other customers, this could be a problem, and for me this makes no sense to charge for example 50 kWh EV battery from 20 kWh home batteries - inefficient charging battery from another battery with DC to AC and back AC to DC lossy conversions...
You can share that Node-red flow here so other customers can use it. And if it will be used a lot, we can find a way to integrate it.
I'm taking care of the EVCS project and having a mechanism like the one requested above, should be inside the GX device, as part of VenusOS.
You told me at Smarter-E Munic last year, that you won't do it, because of waterproofing the connection. But there are ways to get this done. If you need help, let me know and I do some reasearch and send you suggestions.
It is based on actual battery SOC (I am using Pylontech batteries), ESS min. SOC setting, actual EVCS mode and change of EVCS status. This algorithm allows to discharge Pylontech batteries down to 90% - this can be changed in "Set ESS min. SOC" node. When EVCS is in manual mode and status is changed to Charging, then algorithm save actual ESS min. SOC setting to file in OS filesystem and change it according to actual battery SOC:
flow of course depends on your batteries and EVCS. You must probably reload (re-setting) battery node for load actual SOC according to your batteries (Pylontech batteries in my case) and EVCS node (each EVCS has unique S/N). Also nodes for load and set ESS min. SOC depends on FW version in Cerbo GX...
For example I added automatic enable/disable feed-in in EVCS automatic mode, primary for better recognition of excess energy and start EV charging... I used set global variable on another flow, but if you directly add "ESS Control" node from Victron palette with appropriate properties (ESS = "Venus setting" and Measurement = "Feed excess DC-coupled PV into grid") behind the "Set disable/enable feed-in (based on EVCS mode and status)" node, it will be also functional.
Hello everyone,
I would very much welcome such a feature.
So far I have written a small Python script that remembers the min_SOC (all via modbus to the CERBO GX). If the charging process is started when setting the sceduled or manual mode, the min_SOC of the ESS is set to the current SOC. If the charging process is ended, the initial min_SOC is restored. This prevents the Pylontec battery from discharging while the car is being charged in manual mode (or sceduled).
Enclosed is the programme.

Obtaining a certificate: automatically performing the required authentication steps to prove that you control the domain(s),saving the certificate to /etc/letsencrypt/live/ and renewing it on a regular schedule.
Optionally, installing that certificate to supported web servers (like Apache or nginx) and other kinds of servers. This isdone by automatically modifying the configuration of your server in order to use the certificate.
To perform these tasks, Certbot will ask you to choose from a selection of authenticator and installer plugins. The appropriatechoice of plugins will depend on what kind of server software you are running and plan to use your certificates with.
The Apache plugin currently supportsmodern OSes based on Debian, Fedora, SUSE, Gentoo, CentOS and Darwin.This automates both obtaining and installing certificates on an Apachewebserver. To specify this plugin on the command line, simply include--apache.
Note that to use the webroot plugin, your server must be configured to servefiles from hidden directories. If /.well-known is treated specially byyour webserver configuration, you might need to modify the configurationto ensure that files inside /.well-known/acme-challenge are served bythe webserver.
Under Windows, Certbot will generate a web.config file, if one does not already exist,in /.well-known/acme-challenge in order to let IIS serve the challenge files even if theydo not have an extension.
The Nginx plugin should work for most configurations. We recommend backing upNginx configurations before using it (though you can also revert changes toconfigurations with certbot --nginx rollback). You can use it by providingthe --nginx flag on the commandline.
By default, Certbot first attempts to bind to the port for all interfaces usingIPv6 and then bind to that port using IPv4; Certbot continues so long as atleast one bind succeeds. On most Linux systems, IPv4 traffic will be routed tothe bound IPv6 port and the failure during the second bind is expected.
These plugins are not included in a default Certbot installation and must beinstalled separately. They are available in many OS package managers, as Dockerimages, and as snaps. Visit to learn the best way touse the DNS plugins on your system.
When using the dns challenge, certbot will ask you to place a TXT DNSrecord with specific contents under the domain name consisting of the hostnamefor which you want a certificate issued, prepended by _acme-challenge.
Certificates created using --manual do not support automatic renewal unlesscombined with an authentication hook script via --manual-auth-hookto automatically set up the required HTTP and/or TXT challenges.
