chill the fuck out nigga, it's only a public discord server

2019-03-05 04:33:16 UTC  

and the images is only posted to the same discord server with the same faggots

2019-03-05 04:39:01 UTC  

happy now? @Matthew

2019-03-05 04:46:41 UTC  

That's not even fucking current

2019-03-05 04:47:16 UTC  

it's a fond memory for me

2019-03-05 04:47:45 UTC  

how's your fleshlight collection coming along?

2019-03-05 04:47:54 UTC  

please post an update pic 😄

2019-03-05 04:48:49 UTC  

I think this is current, light-wise

2019-03-05 04:49:01 UTC  

I've put them all in since, but layout and quantity I mean

2019-03-05 04:49:20 UTC  

WOAH! THE BAD-DRAGON DILDO OF FLASHLIGHTS!

2019-03-05 04:49:36 UTC  

how fukin bright is it dude?

2019-03-05 04:49:44 UTC  

Ooh, no, missing Mini GT and... @bentech help me out here, square keychain 1000lm?

2019-03-05 04:50:21 UTC  

That's the MF04, not the crowd favorite GT, but pretty bright. Couple thousand lumens I think? But over a mile.

2019-03-05 04:52:26 UTC  

what is your opinion/insight on flashlights with multiple LEDs vs just one single crazy powerful CREE/CREE-like LED chip?

2019-03-05 04:52:42 UTC  

any tangible benefits one vs the other?

2019-03-05 04:54:11 UTC  
2019-03-05 05:04:26 UTC  

Same shit different approach

2019-03-05 05:04:50 UTC  

Just depends on the light

2019-03-05 05:05:20 UTC  

At a certain point pushing more lumens from an LED becomes less efficient than another LED, but that just depends

2019-03-05 06:09:26 UTC  

Oh, TUP, the Nitecore TUP was the other missing one. I've got a few cheapo ones from clearance at work too, but they're not noteworthy for specs, only for value.

2019-03-05 06:40:50 UTC  

very interdasting

2019-03-05 06:42:10 UTC  

@timsandtoms I ordered the more expensive 'V6-10000LM' variant of this torch https://www.aliexpress.com/item/ur_mums_flashlight/32845642876.html

2019-03-05 06:42:57 UTC  

I assume all the lumen numbers they quote are bullshit, but do you think I made the right choice?

2019-03-05 06:43:49 UTC  

as you said, "pushing more lumens from an LED becomes less efficient than another LED"

2019-03-05 06:45:32 UTC  

If the build quality isn't garbage, it's not the worst thing ever. If it's your first foray into modern LEDs, you'll be happy.

2019-03-05 06:46:06 UTC  

But I think even 1,000lm is optimistic

2019-03-05 06:46:10 UTC  

is there anything brighter in that size form factor?

2019-03-05 06:46:41 UTC  

Convoy S2+ is a crowd favorite

2019-03-05 06:46:48 UTC  

What did you end up paying for this?

2019-03-05 06:47:03 UTC  

£6.55

2019-03-05 06:47:33 UTC  

($8.64 USD)

2019-03-05 06:48:26 UTC  

Convoy is gonna be at least probably $15, and won't be a "zoomie", which is good and bad.

2019-03-05 06:48:41 UTC  

I need it to be a zoomie

2019-03-05 06:49:07 UTC  

I actually have a Convoy, but I chose a very warm light colour for it

2019-03-05 06:49:16 UTC  

I use that one indoors

2019-03-05 06:49:22 UTC  

People shit on zoomies, ones where you can adjust the focus, because more moving stuff means less waterproofing, and they're relatively inefficient, but if you like em they aren't awful

2019-03-05 06:50:40 UTC  

pfft, waterproof flashlights, as-if water would significantly effect such a simple circuit anyway

2019-03-05 06:51:04 UTC  

It's not the LED you're worried about.

2019-03-05 06:51:16 UTC  

you're right... can we please pour water in all our switches for extra working

2019-03-05 06:51:19 UTC  

It's the small bomb the cell turns into, or the microcontroller that controls it.
