I will contribute with a flashlight meme themed limerick:
There once was a man without foresight
Who's wife did not approve his new flashlight
His Visa credit card
Lay out in the yard
But came four weeks later his new Hank light
Is this a bad time to mention that the D1K is on sale for $30, and can be had with the new Nichia 719A?
Interesting. I've been eyeballing a boost-driver D1 for a bit, but after seeing the SC65c thermal throttling and knowing how quickly most Noctigon and Emisars step down due to heat, I might go for a DM11 since it has a bigger head, and will put more lumens "on target" with the TIR. My larger lights are all bucked/boosted and are set up for reasonable sustained output instead of being 30 second hand melters
