This is not my entire collection of flashlights, just the ones that made the short list for my upcoming trip to Colorado and Arizona, which will involve some time outdoors.
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.
$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.
I noticed the following from a new Mastodonian profile:
"I collect pocket knives, flashlights and build high power 3d printed nerf guns" - @Trenchcoatfulloknafs
I am therefore obliged to summon all #edc#nerfgun#3dprint#blender3d enthusiasts to follow Brian and encourage him to share all good things EDC and 3D printing!
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.
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.
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.
When I upgraded from a Pixel 7 Pro to a Pixel Fold, Google was offering a free Pixel Watch with every Pixel Fold preorder. Since I already had one, I offered it up to my buddy Matt and he posted about it. Google saw it and did something cool and sent us both free new Pixel Watch bands! These look dope!
#FPQuestion of the day:
What is your #EDC (everyday carry) pen? What makes it a good pen to carry around with you? Does your EDC pen match your perception of an EDC ethos/design/aesthetic? #FountainPen
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.
Yesterday I posted a picture of the Valet Tray I made, and used for ice cube overflow. Someone asked if the model was available, so I uploaded it to Printables https://www.printables.com/model/672207-simple-valet-tray yesterday afternoon
6 people have already downloaded it, which is very surprising to me. Apparently there is some demand for a simple Valet Tray with easy clean filleted edges, that happens to be perfectly sized for silicone honeycomb ice trays?
I got my #DEFCON31 exclusive Keyport setup with my @yubico and @purism Librem Key. I wish the Librem key had a proper circular hole to properly fit. Maybe I’ll drill it out later to fit. Once I get the iPhone 15 I will probably move from my 5Ci to just a 5C which I already have two of. I’m glad to be a #yubicoambassador and now waiting for the NFC business card from Keyport
