yeah true

@timsandtoms so short? Damn, is there a budget light that's gonna last more than that?

It would be fine for edc but I'm thinking of putting it on my bike so it can be less bright but last longer

I could just go for T4 to prolong it a little bit but maybe they's a better option

mmm mmm mmmmmmmmm

freshly lubed up all my flashlights

thinking I might have to order another tin of Nitecore lube

just vaseline it up

just cum in it

🤔

@Tervy vaseline too ordinary

need to treat my flashlights with class

read flashlights as fleshlights

>lubed flashlights
Am I missing something?

<:thenk:329322130804047872>

you don't lube your flashlights?

why even have them then

@Millwood you should lube the threads and o-rings

I didn't know you need to lube your flashlights

lubed up o-ring will last much longer, and lubed up threads will be easier to screw/unscrew while also repelling water better

It does make sense when I think about it though

Yeah, especially for the rings

if you have a better brand flashlight at home you may have noticed they came in pre-lubed

Thanks

I never had a flashlight for more than $5 so I had no idea

Gonna get some chink lights now

I remember I once even got a little card with a light

that went something like "Dear please lube threads and o-ring"

Explain how you lube a flashlight pls

The only time I would do that is to squat on it

Something I was wondering, does constant on consume more power than flashing mode?

I guess that mostly depends on the light

the laws of physics would suggest it does, yes

unless your light is throttling because of constant on

for example my Emisar D4 when in strobe mode is at like 50% ish brightness

does the duty cycle of the flash happen to be 50%

now you're losing me

speak like you're talking to a retard

duty cycle = how much % of the time it's on
