ah fuck it it's getting late I need to sleep

later, my dudes

I got the Ti because I heard the grippy texture was like terracotta, which I hate, but then I forgot the D1S only came in grippy, and I love how unique it is.

Ciao @Cole

How y'all storing batteries? I need a better solution than these boxes that don't always fit, especially as I get more varieties. Gotta get a pack of Eneloops still, and I'd love 18500s in a D4.

errr

im not really

im just leaving them lying around in cases radnomy

i dont know where half my batteries went

On the list of eventually projects is polishing a piece of wood up and drilling some flat bottomed holes to hold batteries, all out and available, upright for charged, upside down for empty.

do it in metal :^)

Eh, I have some purple heart and bubinga, but metal stock is expensive, as are 18mm+ center-cutting end mills.

Plus no mill, just a drill press.

oh

for the mf04

tha tguy

dunno his name

Actually I forgot about pre-drilling. But still. Big mills cost big bills.

What about the MF04?

```It seems like the MF02 has recently started shipping with a more powerful driver. They seem to be putting out between 2.5A and 3A. With this higher amperage, I don’t think anyone has measured the candela. The earlier lights with less power did about 400kcd. They must be doing higher numbers now.

The MF02 is your best bang for the buck. The smaller reflector gives it a bigger hotspot and less throw distance, but that might be okay for your needs.

```

oh

```If the interest is high enough I could make a NarsilM UI 2S Boost driver for the MF04

```

so yeah if the UI is shit you can always get another drive

Neat

I should look into it for the MF01. It's really just the 2 second hold to lock, and hold to turn off instead of press, that I hate. Holding to lock is bad for a powerful light, and you should always be able to turn it off quick.

hold to turn off lmao

Yeah.

It's like half a second, and let's be real here, it's always on turbo anyways, so tapping to cycle to moonlight isn't going to be visible after that blinding turbo.

But it's still dumb

oh

drive isp retty cheap

22$

driver
