but it's not 'the coolest new one' that arrived yesterday

Well, no, I guess not that many. But they're all bright.

you give your mom the lame one and still do all that other shit

tbh I'm also pretty into cool Chinese torches, ..but a fuckin custom pelican case for your 'collection' dude?

Had the case first and didn't have a good use for it

This is more projection than the flashlights

@timsandtoms what's your favorite kelvin of light color?

@johnfrumJust you wait, I ordered an MF04

@Speshu 4000-5000k. 4000k is nicer around the house, but 5000k seems brighter and cleaner.

High CRI strips I ordered for my room are 4000k

Still gotta get a power supply and figure out how I want to control and wire those

I like cool-white, but I find just-above warm white to be the sweet-spot, easy on the eyes

I think about 4500k-ish

maybe 5200k-ish

If everything was 4500k I wouldn't complain

5200k is getting a bit much for around the house general use. Blue throws off melatonin production, it's why f.lux works

last month I bought one of these bad-boys https://www.aliexpress.com/item/Convoy-S2-Gray/1614328969.html

What options?

I got the highest power option, and this color; " XML2 T6-4C 4300-4500K "

honestly, it's a little *too warm* for my liking

Cool White is where it's at

Got this a few days back

I was expecting it to be a little brighter

@Matthew I like how cool white always looks really fucking awesomely bright when showing-off to family..

but if you need to do something serious for a long time, it's not nice on the eyes

@timsandtoms hey, I think the Convoy S2 can have the head changed for a different type, is this true?

can I buy just another head?

>I like how cool white always looks really fucking awesomely bright when showing-off to family..

And you were making fun of his case

That's why I like 5000k. It's impressive, but doesn't get too blue to be usable, although 4000k is nicer.

>gets into car with his mom
>Mom, look how bright dis shit is, you ain't gun believ' day
>*blinds mom with flashlight*
>Die

But I haven't opened either S2+ yet, is the head even removable? I though it was a 2 piece

4500k~ is pretty cosy and comfy, I like 4500k~ for my bedside light

Wait, no, the heads removable. So no reason you can't swap heads, but I don't know if there are other styles that are compatible

hmm, I'll look into it

Convoy S2+ is pretty pricey compared to other torches, but you really get the quality you pay for

feels nice

Yeah, it's a deal

does your Convoy have a glow-in-the-dark ring around the lens?

mine does

and it looks bad-ass
