AA/14500 dual fuel anglehead light, USB magnetic charger for 14500 only, wonder what happens if you try to charge an. AA. Wonder if there charge contacts spark if shorted on the outside of the light.
33g w/o battery, has 3 point headband, eh?
Complex, non Anduril UI. 650lm in CW on 14500, around 225lm on AA. Removable tailgate magnet. Has some kind of 55 day moon more. Wonder if that is AA only.
Overall imho: meh, ok light but I don't understand the excitement. Too much lumenitis in these lights anyway.
Skilhunt has one of the least complex UI’s around. Press for on, hold to cycle modes, double press for turbo. Not sure if too many share you opinion of it being “complex”.
Not sure what “lumenitis” is, but most people are excited for the H150 because of the Nichia 519a in 4500k, Skilhunt build quality, and excellent drivers with flat regulation.
A lot of lights have that UI. Anduril merely adds a few optional options to that. Many UI's that people regard as "simpler" than Anduril are pretty much just Anduril Simple UI with 10H removed.
It never ceases to amaze me how many people fail to realize that.
I have several Andruil lights that I really like. The problem for me is that I frequently need the internet to remember how many clicks or holds from ON or OFF are needed to get it to do something I want or need. Andruil is great but the complication (outside of simple mode) just isn’t always desirable. The other downside to most Andruil lights is that they commonly use FET or direct drive. For folks who prioritize flat regulation, it makes most of them less desirable.
Anyway, there’s a place in my collection for all kinds of UI’s. That’s part of the fun.
