So, others have seen this. I kind of like it. But, as mentioned, it is not a feature they claim. Mine seem to come on when ship power comes on (intercom).
They are battery powered as I said. BTW a bit of a drift here...
I have not flown as much during Covid, as I would like... so the batteries sit.
I have used ENELOOP from Sanyo for a few years. Little self discharge, unlike other brands.
About two bucks a cell. Still have some in flashlights that are 8 years old. Since they get less charge and discharge cycles, I suppose that extends their longevity.
Anyway, back to Zulu. They have always been known for outstanding customer support. This "auto turn on" is just a bonus I figure. Thanks for the replies forum readers!
