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

2018-07-03 04:33:04 UTC  

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

2018-07-03 04:34:45 UTC  

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

2018-07-03 04:35:18 UTC  

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

2018-07-03 04:35:30 UTC  

This is more projection than the flashlights

2018-07-03 04:35:44 UTC  

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

2018-07-03 04:35:50 UTC  

@johnfrumJust you wait, I ordered an MF04

2018-07-03 04:36:55 UTC  

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

2018-07-03 04:37:12 UTC  

High CRI strips I ordered for my room are 4000k

2018-07-03 04:37:38 UTC  

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

2018-07-03 04:37:56 UTC  

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

2018-07-03 04:38:06 UTC  

I think about 4500k-ish

2018-07-03 04:38:15 UTC  

maybe 5200k-ish

2018-07-03 04:38:15 UTC  

If everything was 4500k I wouldn't complain

2018-07-03 04:38:59 UTC  

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

2018-07-03 04:39:14 UTC  

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

2018-07-03 04:39:38 UTC  

What options?

2018-07-03 04:40:18 UTC  

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

2018-07-03 04:40:33 UTC  

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

2018-07-03 04:40:36 UTC  

Cool White is where it's at

2018-07-03 04:40:38 UTC  

Got this a few days back

2018-07-03 04:40:44 UTC  

I was expecting it to be a little brighter

2018-07-03 04:41:25 UTC  

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

2018-07-03 04:41:44 UTC  

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

2018-07-03 04:42:36 UTC  

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

2018-07-03 04:42:45 UTC  

can I buy just another head?

2018-07-03 04:43:32 UTC  

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

2018-07-03 04:43:44 UTC  

And you were making fun of his case

2018-07-03 04:43:59 UTC  

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

2018-07-03 04:44:46 UTC

2018-07-03 04:45:03 UTC  

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

2018-07-03 04:45:23 UTC  

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

2018-07-03 04:45:55 UTC  

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

2018-07-03 04:46:13 UTC  

hmm, I'll look into it

2018-07-03 04:46:50 UTC  

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

2018-07-03 04:46:53 UTC  

feels nice

2018-07-03 04:47:02 UTC  

Yeah, it's a deal

2018-07-03 04:47:35 UTC  

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

2018-07-03 04:47:37 UTC  

mine does

2018-07-03 04:47:41 UTC  

and it looks bad-ass

2018-07-03 04:47:47 UTC  

And you can do so much with it, that's why it's so popular, such a standard size
