How often do you use a flashlight?
When I go up and down the stairs at night. I have a bunch of lights, but no legitimate or serious reason other than I like them. Which is the only reason I need really.

Yup. LEDs are amazing. Changed everything for the better. TVs, home lighting, car lighting, PC FPS, etc.
Those old lights have bonk factor though.

I'm not sure honestly. The community was pretty clear they didn't want to move over.
I don't really post and try my best to not really interact at all. Not because I hate them or something, but because of the principle. Although I did get a Zebralight h600fc from the BST.
I doubt we'll have big threads. The most comments a post gets here is like 20.

Oh man! I was hoping this community would come over! Glad to have the flashlight community here!

My thoughts exactly. It could attract some people. Or let us get to know each other better.
I think a build/mod thread might be cool, but I think that will start off slow at first. Which is fine by me. I'm looking at modding a Wurkkos FC13s. Looking for drivers and emitters and seeing what is possible.

That's really good throw for that size. I may have to pick it up!
Edit: Picked it up

Two vise clamps and lots of brute force, I finally disassembled the head of a MT21C, which is a great light with shitty emitter and beam. What emitter should I swap for ? 3.45mm square, 2.79 Vf typica
I would second the 519A. Great emitter.

There is an extention and phone app called Keepa that tracks prices and shows you their price history right on the product page on Amazon so you can see if you are getting a good deal.

Convoy L7 sized lights?

Thanks for the list! Also, thanks for the cool website! I didn't know parametrek had such a useful tool.
I'm going to be looking at a lot of lights.

That looks very impressive. I keep forgetting Convoy has a buck driver. That honestly makes it one of the most usable pocket throwers.

I wholeheartedly agree. That's why I made this post. How can we drive engagement? With weekly threads, have a certain-kind-of-post day, or something along those lines?

This is very compact. How wide is the beam?

I share that sentiment. The niche subreddits are still great places to be.
There are a few subreddits that are totally about the subject at hand and are wonderful places. I would like to see a community like that grow here. We have a great start so far.

There is an app called gptAssist. It's essentially a web wrapper that takes you to ChatGPT.
It is available on F-Droid as far as I know.

I guess people were expecting some kind of flashier signing. Although these signings are kinda OK, I'm excited we are bringing everybody back. Should be a fun year ahead of us!

Firefly E12C vs E12R?
Reply in thread
Oh man, I forgot the E12R also had FET. I must have gotten the Emisar boost driver mixed up with this one. It seems the only advantage then is the IP rating. I don't plan on going diving with the light or using it in the pool haha. What kind of emitter do you have on yours?
