Convoy flashlight opinions?
In this case, it would be "what gives the trippiest experience", because my current go-to reflector with the S21E is the 45° TIR. But if there isn't a specific reflector that "transform" the B35AM to full madness drug trip mode (and the 6500K version just is like that natively), then I'll go...- PaladinNO

Convoy flashlight opinions?
I'm taking it here instead of the Rosy-thread. What reflector should I go with? I was considering requesting a Smooth reflector for a change, instead of a TIR or the default Orange Peel reflector. Currently got a S21E in the cart, with the B35AM 6500K. Plus the rest of the lights I need to make...- PaladinNO

Nyctophobia (fear of the dark)
Have any of you seen the movie Aliens, from 1986? Story time from me - I have said this before, and I promise this is true. It was around 2003, and I was in my living room, watching the movie Aliens on TV. It was winter, it was well over midnight (so absolutely pitch black outside). I was... -
Nyctophobia (fear of the dark)
Having passed 40, yeah, I have to admit I'm the same. I have found a few remedies though. One, having a flashlight in my hand. That way I know I can make it not dark, if I want to. Two, playing music or known sounds. It is terrible how the mind suddenly goes to the absolute worst places when... -
New Fireflylite Flashlights arrived! They are absolutely amazing!
As I said, I think my case was unique since I ordered right around when they were moving to a new site. Except if it was that simple, I would like to be told that when I finally got ahold of them. After 8 weeks, 5 emails and nothing before taking it with PayPal, I would have liked something more...- PaladinNO

Have you chosen one brand's power-tools platform?
Me and a friend of mine plan* to try our 230mm angle grinders to chop up an old and rusty trailer he has laying in backyard. ...That is, we did plan (now past tense) to use both (we have one each) at the same time until we saw the specs. on them. 240 V, 2000 W. Times 2. And he only has 10 Amp... -
Have you chosen one brand's power-tools platform?
The algorithm works in mysterious ways. 🙂 Thanks though, I didn't know wire cups and wire wheels existed for angle grinders well. I just ordered a bunch of them for a drill. And not sure what this is, but I ordered a pair of these as well just to see what they do. If this is a "flap flat"... -
Discontinued things you still wish were made today
Yes! Where are the modern equivalents of that!? You keep that Gorenje baby pampered. That's one of the good ones. Ours is a Zanussi FLS 1224 C - and it's so old, Google doesn't even have an image of it. Newer model, but this is the closest I could find. The 2 dials are Temperature (goes up to... -
New Fireflylite Flashlights arrived! They are absolutely amazing!
I have a trio of their older PL47MU. E21A 3800K mix mule light. Current equivalent offering is the L60-Mu Aura. Close-up here, and for scale here. FireFlies is actually the brand that introduced me (and got me hooked) on the Nichia E21A. Excellent lights, but they get quite hot - it's 9...- PaladinNO

Discontinued things you still wish were made today
A question on the first part. I got a Convoy S12 850 nm IR - is the light from that supposed to be visible? Because I think I got some IR sensitivity too. I hadn't tried it before, but based on what you said, I brought it with me into the one completely dark room we have in the house. And I... -
Who Is A Fan: Rosy
On that note, I found this video interesting. "Which Sunglasses Color Is Best?" EDIT: Red tints are mentioned @ 10:00 precisely for snow sports.- PaladinNO

Discontinued things you still wish were made today
Don't remind me... Today it's all detergent auto dosing, automatic water usage, smart weight sensing program selection, the machine starts on its own whether it's ready or not...and you are notified through the app when something breaks, but not saying what is wrong or what to do, because the... -
Poor man's Gatorade.
I used to put ketchup on just about everything before. But my stomach did not like it at all. Turned out I am intolerant to vinegar, and pretty much everything containing vinegar. It's too acidic for me. So now I have switched to red pesto. -
Poor man's Gatorade.
After some longer sessions working outside in the sun last summer, my go-to remedy for replenishing whatever was lost to sweating was a bottle of tap water (we have a local pumping station, delivering water from a mountain lake to the surrounding rural area - the water coming to our taps and...
