    Favorite budget light 2024

    I love my Astrolux EA01S. 12,000 lumens, not cold white, smooth reflector, around $40. It's not much bigger than my hand. It stops me from buying all of those $80 2,000-3,000 lumen lights that are advertised. That's the big budget part of it.

    The 4Sevens and Foursevens Picture and Random Question Thread?

    I'd have to do some hunting to find my 47's lights. I've been carrying my Preon in High CRI on Saturdays, but I wish I had something smaller in High CRI. A 2xAAA light in my back pocket kind of works, but not great.

    "CPF Specials" webpages/dealers

    It looks like Battery Junction is actually cpf2012. I tried cpf2011 and cpf2009 and they didn't work, but my browser found cpf2012 on some other website and it does work.

    Where can I get 200 lumen/watt LEDs?

    Someone on BLF posted a review of a 1x18650 Convoy S2+ with a Nichia 519A with this chart. According to some basic math, assuming he tested all of these measurements at 4.2 volts. Lumens / Watt = Lumens / ( Current x Voltage ) 1105 / ( 5.5 x 4.2 ) = 47.8 lpw 512 / ( 1.91 x 4.2 ) = 63.8 lpw...

    Review NITECORE EDC27 - 2 Luminus SST40 LEDs - 3000 lumens

    It surely doesn't help that this is a photo, but I think your (maybe not your) fly is down. =P

    My (limited) return to flashlight reviewing

    Good luck!

    Where can I get 200 lumen/watt LEDs?

    I thought there were several Nichia chips that were at or above 200 lumens per watt. Usually the lumen per watt number is done at a sweet spot on the output range. I think Cree chips used to use 350 mA for their lumen per watt number. I wonder if you'll only be getting 200 lumens per watt on...

    WTB: HDS 170 Golden Dragon

    Mine is for sale unless you're not interested, which is fine. Some other person PM'd me an offer and I gave you a reasonable time to reach out, but they withdrew.

    WTB: HDS 170 Golden Dragon

    I swear I have looked at this thread a dozen times and I could also swear that you posted that you had an offer a while back. My bad on not posting sooner. GDP has a tighter beam than the other emitters, as far as I know. At super low lumens, I find the tighter beam to be pretty useful. It had...

    New BMW SUV high beams?

    It looks like bad design to me. They've been banking on their donut headlight for too many years, now they feel like they need to keep it. It doesn't work well with LED, but they're doing it anyways.

    There aught to be a law!

    It's getting worse and worse. It annoys me. I think as I get older, I get more sensitive to glare. I have been paying attention to the manufacturers that do it. Toyota has been doing this forever. Hyundai Kia For some reason the Ford Explorer is very bad. The newest versions of the Honda Pilot...

    how much throw do we need ? really!

    I want to be able to reach 750 feet. Do I need it? Probably no. I used my EDC once at about 100 feet and I could see an animal, but it didn't get the job done well enough to let other people see what I was lighting up. A thrower was useful once to me at pointing at some power lines for the...

    WTB keychain/keyring AAA lights

    I looked through my flashlight drawer and I thought I had one of those bomb proof twisty lights with a Nichia emitter that everyone was raving about when I started here. I can't even remember what they were called. I don't see one in your collection, maybe you don't like them like I don't like...

    WTB Ra Lights Twisty (any LED)

    I found this thing like a month ago (actually September 30, 2021) and forgot that I posted in your thread.

    CR123 to AA spacer

    Usually buying the correct size lithium cell to put in your light will help. It would be a 16500 16mm diameter, 50mm long cell. I don't think anyone makes one of those. You might be better with a 14500 (AA sized) cell. That's kind of a weird light. It is made so that no cell will fit very...
