I review flashlights and other gear at https://zakreviews.com
@SammysHP @flashlight I’m sure we’ll know when it actually comes out. Their “tailor-made” language suggests they’re having a manufacturer produce a bespoke design for them.
I’m sure Nitecore hasn’t build their own semiconductor fab just to make an LED, but smaller manufacturers might be up for semi-custom runs.
@solrize How would you like the index to be structured? Currently, there are tags and it wouldn’t be hard to use them to make some sort of index.
I’ve had the Mastodon comments for a while, but nobody commented until I (and many others) started using Lemmy. I modified this code and should probably update it:

@solrize it’s an issue for all the Skilhunt lights with magnetic charging. It’s not nearly as bad as when Olight did the same thing, but Olight fixed it.
@SammysHP @stavigoodbye No doubt the H150 will go in my headlamp rotation.
@rbd22 Odd indeed. I imagine they didn’t like what I had to say in my review, but they had the option of terminating the affiliate account before anybody used it.
@Zak success!
@solrize I have several headbands for the DW4, including the one that optionally ships with it. I’ll use one from Skilhunt for any angle light.
The DW4 is 157g with battery, and the Wizard is 125. The Wizard is mostly better at being a headlamp, but the DW4 has better tint and efficiency.
@solrize Definitely one of the right-angles. I’m leaning DW4, though the Wizard also has a lot of merit.
I don’t have, nor do I particularly want any LEPs or red lights. I’m probably bringing something with a bit of throw, likely the L16.
@MashedPotatoJeff I’ve had airport security in various countries look at flashlights with curiosity, but never had a problem. Security in Italy wanted me to take the batteries out of a 4x18650 light I had in my carry-on.
@solrize I think the only difference is the battery, though it may be that the taillight reliably comes with the 21700 package and not the others.
I tried testing with fan cooling. It’s definitely timed stepdowns.It barely even gets warm when riding a bike with it.
And thanks for reminding me to add the confusing UI to the downsides for the B2.
@beaconsoul @flashlight You have successfully posted to Lemmy from Mastodon.
For people new to this federation thing, Dan has posted using Mastodon, software that resembles Twitter and speaks the same ActivityPub protocol that Lemmy, which resembles Reddit uses. I’m also replying using Mastodon.
The user experience tends to be smoother federating between software that’s more similar, but it’s nice that it’s possible even when they’re pretty different.
@Zak I took another picture of another flashlight. This is a test of federation from Mastodon.
@flashlight@lemmy.world @flashlight@kbin.social Nitecore’s own post about this lists five models: UHi 10, 20, 40, 50, and 100.
