I can't get enough of the 519A, but I didn't initially understand the hype around dedoming them... and then I got a D4K dual channel with both ends of the 519A spectrum but dedomed.
I get it now.
Which CCT are you liking more?

I'm entirely too impatient for the Meteor to drop.
If somebody made something like these with high-CRI Nichias, I'd buy them in a heartbeat.
As an Iowan... that's a good thing.
Update: Hank didn't initially see the issue, but showing him the beamshot as well as a few shots of the emitter turned on cleared that up. He's sending a replacement head, shipped accordingly. :)
I'm noticing that in some of the communities I followed on Reddit that have moved to Lemmy. It's a number of the big-name posters who really kept the community active who've moved, and the others are trickling in after them...
Like, in general?
One of the biggest factors is heat. Lithium batteries don't like high temps.
Also, they really hate sitting at 100% SoC, though I'm not sure if that contributes to the swelling. 80% SoC is commonly cited as a healthier place for lithium batteries to sit when "fully charged," and, for that reason, some laptops (and other devices) allow you to limit the maximum SoC to 80% if your laptop sits plugged in most of the time.
Mother of God.
Whenever Stefan uploads, you know you're in for a decent chunk of an hour that'll give you some deep and much-needed perspective about our collective past.
It really is the little touches sometimes. Beautiful!
Most flashlights can be safely stored just by loosening the tailcap about a quarter turn.
Some lights have a lockout mode (commonly four clicks of the switch, if it's a side switch/e-switch), which can be handy. Lights running the Anduril 2 (not sure about Anduril 1) firmware by ToyKeeper can even set an automatic lockout timer. But if you want to be 100% certain it's not going to turn on, the easiest thing to do is just loosen the tailcap a bit, which will break the circuit between the battery and the pcb.
No RGB switch is a bit of a bummer. Still gonna get one, though.
