Review: Skilhunt H150 - my favorite small headlamp
The Skilhunt H150 is a small headlamp with great color quality, magnetic charging, and the ability to use both 14500 Li-ion and AA batteries. It sets a new standard in its size class.
On the Internet there are people into ‘edc’ (everyday carry) but that’s really just ‘I like bags and nice things but I’m not a girly girl I’m a mannnnnn’ acronym
Some tools do their jobs so well they're a little boring to write about. The E75 provides everything most of us could want in a midsize flashlight, and very little we wouldn't.
Arbitrary List of Popular Lights - Winter Solstice 2023 Edition
In honor of Winter Solstice, I've made an updated list of popular lights. Today is the day you're most likely to need a flashlight in the northern hemisphere; if you're shopping for one, I hope this will help.
Review: Sofirn SP10 Pro - a high-CRI AA/14500 light running Anduril 2
The Sofirn SP10 Pro is the only flashlight running Anduril 2 and supporting both AA and 14500 batteries. It offers high CRI and a low price. I've reviewed it here:
$16 flashlights make flat runtime graphs now. I am impressed.
This is a Convoy S21E with Nichia 719A in 3000K. It's not setting any brightness records at ~850lm, but that's top-tier regulation. It's CRI is in the 90s, and it's kind of throwy too.
Arbitrary List of Popular Lights - Fall Equinox 2023 Edition
In honor of Fall Equinox, I've made an updated list of popular lights. Days are getting shorter and nights are getting longer - it might be time for a new flashlight.
Here's Nitecore's new bespoke round LED as found in the MH12 Pro. It looks a lot like a Yinding L50 20W, but not identical so my guess is Nitecore requested changes to something Yinding was working on.
Emisar DW4 - a headlamp is required, and I love the light the dedomed 5700K 519As produce (it's about 4200K and a little rosy)
Zebralight SC64c LE - this remains my favorite EDC light, though I suspect its days are numbered by the impending release of the SC65c HI
Acebeam L16 - need something throwy
Skilhunt M150 - I almost didn't bring this because I can't charge 14500s in my Xtar PB2S, but it has magnetic charging and I have some USB-C 14500s from Acebeam. I've actually used this the most.
In the middle of reviewing a portable battery I was sent capable of up to 100 watts! 20,000 mAh currently recharging my work laptop from near dead. It runs a little warm but well. I’ll have the full review on my #tiktok and try and also put it on #peertube at @chiefgyk3d and talk about it a bit on #twitch for my portable soldering iron #laptop#battery#everydaycarry#review#techreview#android#iphone
