    Game: "Hint of Tint" - guess the CCT

    In my "My Collection"-thread, @dc38 had a very good idea of a game, called Hint of Tint. The game (hope I understood it correctly) is to post some tint pictures, but let the members guess which colour temperature (CCT) it is. Bonus points for guessing the emitter too. So, as per his suggestion...

    Opinions on the Emisar metal button upgrades

    I bought a couple different types a while back (Copper, Stainless Steel and Titanium), both for testing and aesthetics. Also bought the removal tool from Hank. https://intl-outdoor.com/metal-button-upgrade-kits.html https://intl-outdoor.com/switch-retaining-ring-removal-tool.html The first...

    519A CCT mix - what gives the best R9 value?

    Didn't quite know where to put this - felt too specific to be a "recommend me a light"-thread. I am in the market for another titanium light, and I am settled on another Hank light - another D4K Ti (skipping the Convoy S21G). Question is - because there is simply too much information on it -...

    RIP Val Kilmer

    Damn, another one of the good guys gone. And Pneumonia is not a good way to go. https://www.imdb.com/name/nm0000174/ I remember him in Top Secret! I was certain it was him when I saw this meme, and I had to search all of the internetz up and down before I found the name of the movie! Seeing...

    Pretty birthday light

    I am looking for another light for myself. Getting dangerously close to that 4th decade, at which point life will only go downhill, so I am looking for a nice, expensive, yet usable and every day carriable light to buy to cheer myself up with. Thinking up to 180 USD. "Midlife crisis" is...

    Nightstand light for "morning sun"

    We got long winters here in Norway, and I know from experience how much more pleasant it is to wake up when there is light outside. So I am looking for a tail stand-able light with a wide spread (mule or diffused) that can simulate the almost orange light from a morning sun in my bedroom. I am...

    My wishlist for 2025

    ...And I think it will be several more Emisar lights from Hank. Including a few custom ones. Already having 71 lights, I certainly don't need any more, but there are emitters / tints I am curious about, and having hCRI lights readily available around the house is something I have found a big...

    Sofirn no longer ships to Norway?

    I was about to place an order with Sofirn, just like I have done several times before, but this time "Norway" does not show up on their list of elligible countries. Does anyone know anything about this, or is there some obvious reason I don't know about? I've just contacted Sofirn support with...

    Angled ~4000K hCRI mule

    Are there any angled ~4000K (18650 or 21700) hCRI mule options, other than the Fireflies PL47MU? https://www.ff-light.com/index.php?route=product/product&product_id=83 I ordered one of the above model with "Nichia E21A 3800K mix" earlier, and am very, VERY happy with it. Ordered another two...

    My collection

    I was requested by Sir @Ocelot808 to post some images of my lights once my new acquisitions arrived... https://www.candlepowerforums.com/threads/incoming-what-do-you-have-coming-in-the-mail.319054/post-5574500 Not everything has arrived yet - I am still missing Sofirn SF15, IF22A, IF23, and...

    Nitecore UMS4 - personal opinion

    I just bought a Nitecore UMS4 charger, and having tested it - i.e. used it as a battery charger - I have some thoughts on it. Figured I'd share them. Sadly, it becomes mostly a rant. https://charger.nitecore.com/product/ums4 I will not get into the technical details and specifics and statistics...

    Issue with Sunwayman T45C

    Hello I have an issue with a Sunwayman T45C that I bought years ago. It doesn't work as it should. It lights up for a few seconds, then shuts off, regardless of output setting and battery. And it only works again for a another few seconds if I remove the battery - and sometimes not even then...

    Fenix LR50R ~$250 - worth it? (SOLVED)

    Looking for opinions or experiences. A local E-tailer is currently offering the Fenix LR50R for the equivalent of 250 USD (regular price is ~$340). Is it worth it at that price? Disclaimer: I have NOT read reviews, checked exact stats / features or looked at beamshots as of writing. I've been...

    Which DT8K emitter for best runtime and flood?

    Greetings! I keep reading about Emisar and specifically "Hank lights" around here, so I googled around and found this site: https://intl-outdoor.com/ (Main Emisar site, as I understand it.) Currently looking at the DT8K, as the design really piqued my interest...

    Keep 26650, or switch to 21700?

    I need some recommendations here, from those with experience with both the "new" (to me) 21700 cell, and the older 26650. TL;DR: Does the 26650 offer anything the 21700 does not? I currently have a single 26650 EDC, the Acebeam EC50 Gen II plus a spare 26650 battery, that I bought before the...

    Worklights mounted in a cold garage.

    Greetings! I need some tips from the experts regarding the best solution for worklights in a cold garage. And by cold, I mean potentially -30°C during the winter. I've just killed 4 cheapo lamps, and one expensive one (latter was supposedly -25°C rated, and it died in less than 2 weeks when...

    Roof mounted, single-rack LED-bar spot at around 500 USD

    ...I have either posted this thread some 15 times now, in which case I apologize, or it never gets registered at all thanks to consistent 503 errors or the page just ends up blank where refreshing does nothing. :| So, trying again: I should have asked here weeks ago, and now I am almost out...

    Bought some 18650s - are they any good?

    ...This question is my main reason for signing up here, so while I have no doubt about getting an answer, I just hope it's the answer I'm looking for. I recently bought (so recently, they haven't even arrived yet) 8x 18650 batteries to use as replacements for the Fenix ARB-L2 2600 mAh's in my...
