Hello HIVEs

The Perfect RGB Torch? (AOAM RGB CRITTER)
Ants On A Melon RGB Critter (A BAG OF CRAP!)
I ordered the lamp on 26.04.2024 for 120,76€. Plus shipping (First Class Package International) €35.95 and €28.83 customs, that makes a total of €185.54. The lamp is therefore no bargain!
As with the update story of the first ant lamp, Ands On A Melon made itself unpopular with me with an e-mail. They offered to update the shipping method because the one I had chosen didn't ensure that I would receive the lamp. The guys wanted to charge me extra for this update. What a cheek! Especially as, as far as I know, no other shipping option was offered at the time of purchase. You can't expect good service from this company, that's for sure!
The package did not arrive intact. One edge of the packaging was already bruised. However, the contents were fine.
The Perfect RGB Torch? (AOAM RGB CRITTER)
Ants On A Melone RGB Critter (A BAG OF CRAP!)
Bestellt hatte ich die Lampe am 26.04.2024 für 120,76€. Plus Shipping (First Class Package International) 35,95€ und 28,83€ Zoll macht das insgesamt 185,54€. Die Lampe ist somit kein Schnäppchen!
Wie auch schon bei der Update-Story der ersten Ameisenlampe, machte sich Ands On A Melon mit einer E-Mail bei mir unbeliebt. In der wurde ein Update des Versands angeboten, weil der von mir gewählte nicht sicher stellt, dass die Wahre auch bei mir ankommt. Für dieses Update wollten die Jungs noch einmal extra kassieren. Eine Frechheit! Zumal beim Kauf meines Wissens, keine andere Versandoption angeboten wurde. Guten Service kann man von dieser Firma nicht erwarten, soviel steht fest!
Das Paket kam nicht ganz unversehrt bei mir an. Die Verpackung enthielt an einer Kante bereits Druckstellen. Der Inhalt war jedoch in Ordnung.
To operate the flashlight, it is necessary to download an app to the smartphone. Connecting the lamp to my smartphone worked without any problems. With the app, it is possible to operate up to 10 ant lamps within a radius of up to 20 m at the same time. Operating the app is intuitive. Various pre-programmed modes are available. Once you have selected a mode, you can choose from preconfigured settings.
However, the “Custom Mode” is particularly interesting. There are no limits to your imagination here. You can choose from 16,777,216 different colors that can be combined. In addition, the whole thing can be operated in different modes. The speed of the strobe can be adjusted from 0 -100%. Once you have found the perfect setting for you, you can save it in the app under a self-named category and always have it ready to call up.
The lamp can be switched on or off from a smartphone or on the flashlight itself. The control can be adapted to personal requirements under the “Universal Settings” menu item. The button LEDs can be deactivated here. Also included is a “Momentary Press” function. The programmers have again left one fly in the ointment here: The “Universal Settings” are not saved! These must always be checked after pairing with the flashlight before use!

Wie kann man sich nur einen derartigen Bullshit ausdenken? Die Funzel mit dem Smartphone zu programmieren ist eine coole Idee, aber das kann dann doch einfach in der Lampe gespeichert werden. Bestimmt gibt es dafür bald ein kostenpflichtiges Update. 🤣
Danke für's Teilen.
So isses! Das Smartphone bleibt immer in der Nähe der Lampe. Wenn man nicht alles selbst macht...🙄 Aber hey, ich werde es überleben.
😉Das mit dem kostenpflichtigen Update traue ich AOAM wirklich zu. Darauf können wir Wetten! 🍻
Ja, alles muss man selber machen. Vielleicht gelingt es uns ja eine vernünftige Lampe zu bauen.
Wie du siehst, habe ich mal in der Lampe nachgeschaut, was so verbaut wurde. Die wichtigen Teile wurden alle maskiert. Ich denke aber, dass wir das mit der richtigen RGB-LED besser könnten.

Very interesting article. I'm interstined in to buying this new version (I don't have the previous one(s)) but I'm hesitating because of the obligation of having a smartphone to use the lamp...
I would take at least one power bank with me in case the smartphone battery runs out. I've never had any problems with a flat battery myself, but you never know.
The advantage, on the other hand, is that you can place the lamp somewhere in the set and control it from your smartphone. That could be quite useful.
I have an old smartphone and battery can be an issue. But an external battery can help for sure.
Sometimes I go to explore without my phone as it localizes me anytime (and it can be hazardous to leave "tracks"). In general, I don't like to depend on technology in lightpainting, especially when it involves a smartphone. You can call me old-fashionned^^
No, quite the opposite! It's not old-fashioned! I use discarded smartphones without a card for my DIY tools, anonymized if possible. I think that would be an option.
