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$

couple i guess

kinda expensive

colors look nice

Where's that writing sample? I can't find it.

was last one in insta album

bassically as you shift pen upwards the pen gets thinner

so you can either use it super thick or fine

its a intesresting nib design

Anyone bought any like car radios and stuff from aliexpress, etc?

I probably wouldn't feel comfortable with modern cars using a cheap Chinese deck, too much gets tied in to that nowadays, and decent ones aren't too spendy.

Enough goes wrong with cars without messing up the electronics. But I'm also really not a car guy. Decent radio we put in my mom's car was only around $90

Really shitty ones around here with just aux are about 250AUD its a rip off

plus installation prices
