Lower is more yellow(warmer), higher is more blue(cooler). And cooler and warmer don't make sense because they get the numbers from if something was this temperature Kelvin, it would glow this color.

2018-05-18 07:50:18 UTC  

But thas how it goes. Around 4000-5000 is usually considered neutral, higher is cool, lower is warm. Generally speaking.

2018-05-18 07:52:11 UTC  

If you don't know or care, get 5000k, the T6-3B. Bluer SEEMS brighter. Although, arguably, blue makes it harder to see. But that's really only noticeable, and only barely, on crazy lights that are going multiple kilometers.

2018-05-18 07:53:13 UTC  

But 5000k will seem awesome and bright without seeming overly blue, most would agree.

2018-05-18 07:58:57 UTC  

fuck I wanna buy this thing but I forgot what website it was from

2018-05-18 07:59:00 UTC  

It was like

2018-05-18 07:59:07 UTC  

A microSD card holder in a keychain

2018-05-18 07:59:20 UTC  

And they had one in a swiss army style

2018-05-18 07:59:43 UTC  

Yeah, I guess I'll go for T5 or T6

2018-05-18 07:59:43 UTC  

They have a very barebones website that has asterisks

2018-05-18 08:00:44 UTC  

Found it

2018-05-18 08:01:23 UTC  

I want this

2018-05-18 08:01:25 UTC  

$23

2018-05-18 08:04:06 UTC  

@timsandtoms each amc7135 : 350mA to the emitter on max mode

2018-05-18 08:06:07 UTC  

Lumens increase greatly with current, but taper off from a log curve to linear

2018-05-18 08:07:15 UTC  

And 2.8a isn't worth it, the brightness isn't much better when compared to 2.1a

2018-05-18 08:07:31 UTC  

But of course heat and power consumption increase

2018-05-18 08:08:05 UTC  

Right on, thanks.

2018-05-18 08:09:27 UTC  

So @Millwood, you'll get around 1h15m runtime on max. Probably more.

2018-05-18 08:17:38 UTC  

@Krieger The Viking Plague Doctor you sure the chinks don't make that? because the "shell" of that thing can be bought on Ali for like a few dollars at most.

2018-05-18 08:18:05 UTC  

I hope the chinks make a version of this

2018-05-18 08:19:25 UTC  
2018-05-18 08:19:30 UTC  

sorry for mobile link

2018-05-18 08:19:50 UTC  

finding an insert for cards and shit might be more complicated

2018-05-18 08:20:03 UTC  

but even then 23usd seems like overkill

2018-05-18 08:20:08 UTC  

Sometimes I wish I had a 3d printer

2018-05-18 08:20:13 UTC  

same

2018-05-18 08:20:17 UTC  

It really is overkill, it's why I haven't bought it

2018-05-18 08:21:55 UTC  

Are 3d printers still like 2 grand for decent ones

2018-05-18 08:25:58 UTC  

@Krieger The Viking Plague Doctor you can get great ones for 300 already

2018-05-18 08:26:15 UTC  

huehuehuehuue tell me more

2018-05-18 08:26:18 UTC  

Which brands?

2018-05-18 08:27:53 UTC  

anet a8 if your house is insured against fire

2018-05-18 08:28:30 UTC  

if you'd rather continue living creality cr-10 is nice

2018-05-18 08:28:49 UTC  

it's about 500 but better pay some more than get something absolutely chinky

2018-05-18 08:28:57 UTC  

yeah true

2018-05-18 08:29:27 UTC  

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

2018-05-18 08:30:28 UTC  

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

2018-05-18 08:32:13 UTC  

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