    Have we witnessed the death of the audiophile? ...

    This is why I won't go on those caribbean vacations or whatever. Or do much leisure traveling at all. Because I know I will only be so focused on getting the best images that I can of the place, that I will pretty much forget that I am actually there to just enjoy the moment. If my only...

    18650's Care and Maintenance

    I know this thread is "specifically" about 18650's, but I figure the same thing applies to 21700's, so I'll ask here. ^^ I am starting to get a collection of 21700 lights, and with those lights, I've purchased several spare 21700 batteries as well, both protected (Nitecore NL2150 / Coast ZX955)...

    Have we witnessed the death of the audiophile? ...

    I have experienced good audio ONCE, back in 1998. Though I know I was too young to fully appreciate it at the time, I was old enough to recognize how audio is supposed to sound like, compared to anything I had heard until that point. All I remember was the speaker price: $20000 per pair. And the...

    Is my 18650 dead?

    My 2 Cents would just be to recycle and replace it at this point. After 7 years, I would say you have gotten your money's worth out of it. Unless you know what you are doing, with equpment on hand, and want to try experimenting on it (insert Frankenstein quote), I would toss it out. As a...

    Incoming - What do you have coming in the mail??

    This is why I now only wear works pants, similar to Snickers 6241, when I'm going anywhere (exclusively sweat pants at home). One of the pockets on mine are designed to handle nails, so I'm not worried about a typical everyday carry load. But if I need any more, +1 on the satchel / messenger...

    Do Flashlights get dimmer with age?

    At the time, it was an interiour carpenter. The storage warehouse, where all the kitchen tops and whatnot was stored, didn't have the best lighting, so I used the Coast G45, and later Fenix PD35, to easier read the labels. It was cute seeing my supervisor with his single AA Maglite to do the...

    Do Flashlights get dimmer with age?

    This is actually an interesting question. How do flashlights tell their age? Do they just perform 100 % until they no longer work (at which point the user has to decide whether it's worth the money to replace whatever is broken, if possible)? I got the original Fenix PD35 960 Lumen myself...

    Favorite budget light 2024

    Don't know about the AI or reeducation, but I can't say Hank managed to do much better in all this. The Emisar order I made above was supposed to be for one standard DW4, and one custom DW4 mule. But even after chatting back and forth with Hank directly about specifications and options, they...

    Favorite budget light 2024

    They answered quickly when I had made my first order (the first PL47MU). The light was shipped after about 2 weeks. I had a question regarding the battery discharge requirement, and they answered within 48 hours (on a weekend). All good, no issues at all. So I later wanted to order another pair...

    Favorite budget light 2024

    Not "budget" related, but I have fallen completely in love with anything E21A 3500K-4500K. Fireflies PL47MU, Emisar DW4 dual channel, D4K Copper dual channel, DT8K and Noctigon K9.3. For good deals, I have picked up a Fenix TK30 LEP for ~$130, 2x Fenix LR35R for ~$140 each, and a Fenix TK35UE...

    What did you use your flashlight for today?

    I've spent the weekend doing some spring cleaning, and I was chasing dust bunnies in my bedroom last night, using a Fenix TK45 and a Fenix HP30R v.2 headlamp. Wasn't so bad on the shaggy carpet, or even underneath the bed, but when I started moving the furniture around (a small desk and a...

    Incoming - What do you have coming in the mail??

    Just snatched up a second Fenix LR35R. Bought one earlier, along with a Fenix TK35UE v2, but I was much more satisfied with the LR35R, so I sold the TK35 yesterday and will be getting another LR35R instead. The size was almost exactly the same, but the LR35 has 10000 Lumen over the TK35's 5000...

    Preview of future Police Car Chases?

    Thank you, I figured we all knew about Tesla's panel fitting issues. ^^ I let myself inspire from a story Jeremy Clarkson once told in an episode of Top Gear.

    Preview of future Police Car Chases?

    :unsure: "This content is not available in your country/region." That is true. While he probably got into the car through a panel gap, what was he planning on doing with the vehicle? Considering all the data collecting and transmitting Tesla does, it would be easy to track it down. He probably...
