Same for me, this weekend absolutely p**sed down and I didn't get a single rain beep from my trusty TXI plus. Same goes for the big SW gusts. Just a shame the fish didn't read the rule book and stayed on the back of it!

I wasn't referring to the bleep/run brightness, yes that is bright but can be adjusted. I am talking about the night LED which cannot be changed. For me it's very faint and nowhere near as bright as my previous TXi Plus, but then again they were white LED's and my new D's are green.

I thought green light is suppose to be the brightest to the human eye,we can see it better than other colours of light.

As delk colours go blue is the brightest, then white, the green aren't actually that bright at all.

That's not my experience mate. I have TXI-D's in Red, Green and Blue and the green is the brightest, followed by the blue, and the red are quite dull in comparison. White are by far the brightest.

You just need to learn how to use the bleep speed and then adjust the response dial. Personal I like the bleep speed on 6 but have the response very low, if it's windy and raining, I I reduce the bleep speed and response.

You don't become an expert by just reading the manual, but it helps to know how to chance the settings if needed to. But you do need to experience different situations and adjust the settings as the happen, once you have do this a few times you start to understand where to have the setting depending on the situation. If your getting false bleeps reduced the response, if your getting false bleeps that sound like a run, reduce the bleep speed, as well as the response.

I'm just going on comparing my mates green set to the old blue ones and current white set I have. 100% the blues were the brightest of the lot. I'm guessing the txi d still use the same LEDs?

I have 1 of each Green Blue Red and purple/pink lol
NO question Green is definitely the brightest

followed by Blue Purple and Red
the White that I dont have is silly blinding bright
I always alter the brightness levels in the daytime so I can see them in sunshine
BUT at night if left on the day setting its far to bright for me blinds me but I dont use lights much at night preferring to use my natural night vision if I do use a light its normally a red one
so if they have left this option out on the new delks I think its a huge mistake

You can set the LED brightness on day and night mode separately, as well as ‘stealth mode' option which gives you the night lights (and any indicators plugged in will light up), but no LED activation on a run.

I dont bother switching to the night time mode. I know where my rods are in the dark :-) so not bothered about the faint glow. And when (if) I get a run, everything is illuminated perfectly anyway. I just adjust LED brightness to 1 for night and then up the brightness of LEDS again in the morning. Takes less than 10 seconds per alarm to do.

To be fair I just leave mine with the nightlights on all the time now. I have set the beep speed quite slow and don't change any settings anymore.

That's a bit long winded though, when you can just setup night mode and switch LED brightness with a single button press instead of adjusting every morning and evening
Are you sure?

This action cannot be undone.

Yes, continue
