Real RGB? Does this mean we can now control the color?

That’s right, check out https://lemmy.world/post/3287635 for some pics.

I was confused about the engraving but I like your idea to ask for “no engraving” as the option. Only the first 30 get a custom one so maybe everyone else will have the logo engraving.

A more focused throw channel with the same color temperature as the flood channel would be great.

Sft-70 is 6 volt right? Otherwise this would seem like the perfect spot for an sft-40 3000k.

Well yes, but this is an internet forum for flashlights. That’s pretty weird too.

I found a few references to this exact model on candlepowerforums.com which I believe has more folks who own(ed) incandescent lights. Not that has been such a long time, but LED technology advanced very quickly. Not sure if that will help your search.

There’s also a few people over on !flashlight@lemmy.world !

I can see you like Anduril! Except for the wurkkos ts12.

How do you like the brass ts10? Seems like a great value and is on my list to potentially get.

Sticking with the 14500-theme, my first hank light might be a D2 if I can settle on an emitter combo.

Sorry @xenspidey@lemmy.zip ! I did not see any because I was using an ad blocker but I didn’t intend to spam. I do think this reviewer is worth reading and ~~(with apologies to Mr Zeroair)~~ blocking the ads if possible.

Different light, but Lochs on BLF delivered some beamshots:

@containerfan@lemmy.world maybe a feature request for your already very detailed UI diagram could be to add a tiny warning to the blinking modes?

[–] Reader9@programming.dev 1 points 1 year ago

Anyone post beamshots yet?? Maybe on thet other site but I don’t want to go there 😅

Good point, especially with AA the light is rated at max 0.5 amps (from the perspective of the 3v LED I believe not the battery) and setting to one of the 50% modes results in a very low-power good quality light.

Not my use-case, but the versatility just adds to the value.

Side by side with s2+ 18350:

Looks like h150 has two new LED options: Cree 6500k and another Nichia 519a at 3000k along with the current 4500k option.

 

A few small lights I had around. The hs10 gets a lot of use as a night light and the ts10 is carried the most right now. Never really used the s21d in this form but it’s very compact!

Left-to-right:

Sofirn hs10 16340 2700k

Wurkkos ts10 14500 5700k

Sofirn sc21 16340 4000k

Acebeam Pokelit AA/14500 5000k

Sofirn sp10 pro AA/14500

Convoy s21d 18350 2700k (with Wurkkos 20350 tube and tail cap)

Three Convoy lights with 8A buck drivers for getting the most runtime out of 21700 size batteries. Purchased for $28-$38 each with batteries included I think these are an incredible value.

*white balance is not consistent

M21B with SFT40:

S21D with four 519A 2700k emitters and 60 degree beaded TIR:

S21B with Osram CULPM1:
