    Jetbeam BC40 vs Nitecore MT40, fight! (beamshots)

    bc40 switches were notorious for failing. your best bet is to find a McClicky which is very very similar to the white switch on the bc40. just a little filing and you're good to go

    How nerdy are you?

    tbh i'm now more of a battery nerd than a flashaholic btw that's Logview a program that logs several parameters from a USB-connected charger. yes it can be fun to watch especially when i'm testing larger battery packs like this one:

    What do you think the best folding knife

    agree. lightweight aluminum handles i.e. no steel liners. but lockbar is steel for strength and durability. definitely well engineered

    Can I run lithium ion batteries in parallel safely?

    i have a LOT more info here: https://endless-sphere.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=14&t=83141 where i discuss paralleling dissimilar cells. the current distribution. the inter-charging i.e. the higher voltage cell starts charging the other cell in a parallel group

    Can I run lithium ion batteries in parallel safely?

    that's 13-series 4-parallel Samsung 30Q you could even parallel another 13-series pack with this one, even with different cells i.e. different discharge curves, different IR, etc. but you'll get some inter-charging going on

    Wide/shallow vs narrow/deep for throw

    as reflector diameter becomes larger the hotspot becomes smaller relative to spillbeam reflector depth makes the entire beam including spill narrower, thus making the hotspot narrower as well
