    Anduril 2 cheat sheet

    Glad you both like it. FWIW, the full resolution is here CPF downscaled the original somewhat.

    Anduril 2 cheat sheet

    I recently purchased the Hank DT8 flashlight, one which I love in part due to its sheer light output given its small size, but also because of its tint ramping feature and interface generally. It inspired me to create a 'cheat sheet' for the Anduril 2 OS that the light uses. I hope some of you...

    For self-defense: Graph to detail relation between lux, and severity of visual hazard

    I know it's a little off-topic, but are there flashlights over 2000 lumen you can get in about this form factor (1inch diameter, 3.5 inch length) which allow focusing? What's the max? Oh yes indeed. I love how quickly the tech advances. I can't wait for solid state lithium ion batteries, and...

    For self-defense: Graph to detail relation between lux, and severity of visual hazard

    You're right because I've since found out that 99% of flashlights don't reach "permanent blindness" levels of brightness anyway, especially under £20. It's a tricky one. I won't necessarily be pointing any fingers at those who do feel the way you do. I do think though that a VERY bright torch...

    How to tell if an 18650 battery is fake?

    Am I right in saying that if the mAh comes out as advertised this will in 99%+ of cases prove it's not a fake? [/COLOR]That Soshine charger doesn't appear to give the mAh number, so I'd rather go with the XTAR VC2.

    How to tell if an 18650 battery is fake?

    I'd like to buy some decent 18650 batteries, possibly from Amazon.co.uk, but I want a way to test if they are fake once I receive them. Will the XTAR VC2 help me here? Do I only need to test the mAh and voltage rating, or are there any other criteria I need to watch out for? Also, do I need to...

    Flashlight 'clones' on Amazon?

    I posted this to the budget light forums, so any other replies can go there: http://www.candlepowerforums.com/vb/showthread.php?407969-Flashlight-clones-on-Amazon Perhaps a mod can lock this thread.

    For self-defense: Graph to detail relation between lux, and severity of visual hazard

    Thanks all - the general consensus here is that there is almost no risk of causing anything beyond temporary blindness, so that puts my mind at rest. Just a few things though... How focused was the torch when you did that, and how close to the torch were you? How long were you flash-blinded...

    Flashlight 'clones' on Amazon?

    Thanks all for the detailed feedback! Special thanks also to Rosoku for looking into the LED datasheets. Apparently the XP-E LED has an 80% smaller footprint than the XR-E. I'll be getting the cheaper XR-E, so hopefully it'll be just as good. So I'm going to buy the cheapest torches of each...

    For self-defense: Graph to detail relation between lux, and severity of visual hazard

    I'd like to buy a cheap torch at least partially for self-defense. Even if I get attacked at night and robbed though, I DON'T want to damage anyone's eyes permanently. Only temporarily (5-30 minute range <EDIT: even 5-30 second range would be useful>) so I can make a hypothetical getaway. To...

    High end 18650 battery still require maintenance?

    Good replies. Are lower mAh ones safer? I'm going to come right out and ask: What URL online can I buy the best Li-ion 18650 from if I want the best/safest? A direct link would be appreciated. I live in the UK.

    Flashlight 'clones' on Amazon?

    I'd like to get two torches. They both have clones on Amazon.co.uk which look very similar apart from the logo. However, I am concerned they have a less capable LED, which obviously will affect the brightness. Here's the first pair I'm looking at...

    High end 18650 battery still require maintenance?

    I'm thinking of buying a single 18650 for my torch (it will only require a single 18650). However, I don't want to worry about any maintenance. To this end, I'd like an expensive top-of-the-line protected battery, but I don't mind if the energy isn't the maximum 3400 mAh. Will I need to worry...

    Flashlight 'clones' on Amazon?

    I will certainly check those out. But have you tried the OxyLED one out? Everyone seems to rave about its brightness levels and how ones costing 10x as much put out LESS light.
