Great review! Pretty interesting light with the 2 Osram flood emitters. The runtimes look pretty good for this light. Can this actually do a sustained 800lm for 6 hours per the manufacturer spec?

Nice collection! Is the purple light on the wall from a UV? Is it a D2?

I love that you have the D4SV2 in shorty mode! 18350 makes it so cute!

That would be way brighter honestly! D18 and Q8+ are so much more powerful than any of the ceiling lights in my house. My neighbors would probably have questions 😀

Crabs on crabs! Did you make this 3D model?

 

Mrs. Spicy wanted to have a campfire while we were camping this weekend, so I enlisted the help of several diffusers to light our site while I prepped our wood. Diffusers shown are the SP36 (coming soon), D18, Q8+, and IF22a (also coming soon).

Hey awesome! I'm happy that to see you figured out how to use the crab 😀

Simple UI, flat regulation, 519a? What else could I possibly want??

I read through the update on their website, and it is not clear to me why they are doing this rebranding to ESKTE.

Does anyone have some better understanding or insight?

Great review! I got an IF22A recently, but now you're making me want to get this little guy too!

[–] Spicy3d 2 points 1 year ago

Great photos! Glad you were able to get that kitten out of there!

You are so much more organized than I will ever be! I also have no intention of ever using the pocket clips on my lights so it's no big deal.

I leave all my O-rings in the sun to bake. My rubber is not to be trusted!

Seconded! What is that, a custom cerakote or something?

As always, you can get these items from me or download them to 3D print them yourself!

What you can win:

  • (2) AA/14500 snap battery holders
  • (3) TS10 diffusers (Clear, Glow in the dark, Orange)

How to enter: Comment your most disruptive flashlight idea.

Here's my disruptive idea: Flashlight controlled by capacitive touch OLED screen. Swipe up for brighter and down for dimmer. Haptic feedback tells you cues (low batt, light turboed, stepdown, etc).

I shoved it up into the frame so I could see the filter. The diffuser actually works better when it's upside down in this case!

I'm in Minnesota at my wife's lake house, which is quite a change from our New Mexican desert home.

The watermelon

The campfire!

S'mores time!

 

Bringing these 3 lights (Sofirn SC21, Fireflylite P01, and Convoy S21E) out on a lake trip for Fourth of July weekend.

I'm hoping to do some night time lake beamshots while kayaking around!

 

Spent some time over the weekend designing this new headband mount! Give it a print and let me know what you think!

Please let me know what other headlamps/lights you would like to have HB3-able!

Printables link

Or buy one from me

More photos: Why are they all rotated???

 

Download the 3D model from Printables! and print it yourself! Post a pic if you do!

Or you can get one from my website!

DT8 has a weird head shape, so it was challenging to make an end-attachment for the light. I chose to use white filament instead of clear because there were weird refraction effects due to the shape of the diffuser and the printed layers. I am quite happy with the white filament, so I may propagate that color into the rest of my diffusers!

 

Mrs. Spicy managed to bust this H600 while is was attached to her helmet! I have no idea how!
