I guess tailcap current measurements with a DMM are good enough for my purposes.
Only as long as you use a clamp meter.

Reading a voltage would be possible (but the ADC code is already very complex and messy). Some types of drivers have a sense resistor already, but usually it is connected to an opamp and adding another load might cause visible fluctuations in the output.
So yes, it could be possible, but requires a driver redesign and lots of refactoring of Anduril.
It looks like a rebranded Yinding or Rayten LED that is already used for a while in other flashlights. It's definitely not their own development or production.
As already mentioned, this is the post-off voltage display. Depending on your firmware version, its time can be changed from the battcheck menu. Set to 0 to turn it off.
The red flash is a bug that already got fixed (together with several other bugs). Do you have a flashing kit for updating the firmware?
I don't have one, but I'm pretty sure it has a different driver. Never seen a Chinese flashlight engineer using an AVR microcontroller for their work.
My review includes a photo of the disassembled head. It's an easy reflow.
The IF22A has a completely different driver.
The IF19 is mostly identical with a slightly different design, without Anduril and without aux LEDs. But performance should be the same. I think the battery tubes will be compatible, but I don't have an IF19 to try it out.
I always have a thrower with me to see what's happening at the end of a path. The TS11 works great for this. I don't need much runtime for the few short bursts of light, but the small TS11 is very handy and doesn't need much space.
The TS11 is almost twice as long, four times as bright, throws two times as far and runs six times as long.
Indeed, this is far from perfect, but on the other hand it's also not angry blue, more a pure white and without green tint. For a thrower I find it kind of acceptable.
While Luminus has announced warmer SFT-40, I'm not sure if they are even released yet.
The random generator. /s
As they've explained its pronounced like the letters S, K and T. The had used the brand SKT already in 2018 for a single product.
Practicality depends on your preference. It's heavy, some people say it stinks. But scratches don't make it look ugly and it ages nicely with time.
