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!
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?
I'm gonna need you to list all of the lights that these clips go with /s
I have a poorly organized bin that all of my light accessories live in. It is a rats nest of clips, o rings, lanyards, and extra tubes. Pure chaos.
This would be sweet! The practical execution would probably be quite difficult, but I would love to be able to swap from 2700K to 4500K on the fly! Thermal sinking could be a challenge, unless maybe each emitter is mounted on its own MCPCB, and the MCPCB is the thing that gets swapped in and out. Thermal issues would still arise, but one can dream!
This is such an excellent idea! USB-C programming would be so cool!I would want to be an easy visual interface for programming for sure. Even something simple like boxes where you specify number of clicks/holds and the actions that they perform.
Didn't 4sevens make some Bluetooth controlled lights (or maybe prototypes) back in the day? Bluetooth control doesn't seem super ideal for my purposes, but programming over Bluetooth would be awesome.

Things on Lemmy are going great! I am enjoying seeing the posts and the expertise that folks are bringing to this site. To celebrate, I'm going to give away some AA/14500 battery holders and some TS10 diffusers!
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).
Rules:
- Must be in USA
- Giveaway is open from now until next Saturday, July 15th, 2023
- 1 winner will be selected at random
- Winner must have some kind of post history in /c/flashlight

I believe the DT8 and DT8K share the same head/bezel size, so yes it should work!
Rectangular hat is good hat
How do you like the NOV-Mu? I have an E07X Pro and a T1R but the NOV-Mu is still calling to me
Wow that warmth of the 2700K 519a! This is a great looking light you've made!
HS10 is a great light!
Do magnetic stripes on credit cards still get accepted? I'm only able to use the chip or NFC these days.

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!
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!
We make cool flashlight stuff!
