nice job burning the paper haha. I tired it for a short time and it smoked, but nothing like the amount of smoke in the pictures. I feel like mine is under performing

Edit. I tried it again, used a different angle and it smoked good, no flame, but I still doubting for some reason. But in the end its stills stupid bright. I havent been able to try the throw as it would wake up my whole block, haha

Translated tips on the newspaper trick. Do it outside or you could get in the Dog House like I did by burning the couch with a Barn Burner. Head of the Household, she was non too happy!


Burn newspaper is easy, but to generate the fire, still need some tips:
① newspaper on the lens in front of about 2 cm, where the heat is concentrated, and the smoke is not easy smoked flower lens;
② newspaper rub it, more wrinkles, help to increase the heating area;
③ attention to air a suitable circulation, such Yongshou appropriate jitter newspapers, on the one hand to increase air flow, on the other hand will not cause more heat loss.

Hello.

Is it more powerful than the aspherical maglite?
Yes, of course. This light puts out about 5100 lumens with a cd of atleast 250,000+
I could never understand why the word "maglite" is even mentioned nowadays?

I found out recently Lips and Firefox have parted ways. I bought a FF4 that does not work properly, and was disappointed to discover this.
