EDC - Olight vs Lumintop 5 Way Flashlight Comparison
Hey folks!
Well, more overthinking on my EDC flashlight. Follow me on my thought process as I evaluate 5 pocket carry flashlights from Olight and Lumintop, I'll walk you through why each one is not my choice for a pocket carry torch and which one I picked in the end. Early info - I chose two.
IP ratings explanation - en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IP_Code
Lights I'm evaluating:
Olight Warrior Mini 2 - amzn.to/3BhaDoL
Olight i3T EOS - amzn.to/3uKQmFq
Olight i5T EOS - amzn.to/3BhnpDD
Lumintop Tool AA 2.0 - amzn.to/3ldWaUM
Lumintop EDC AA - amzn.to/3BiRYIX
NyoGel 760G Oring lubrication for flashlights - amzn.to/3lfLnJZ
You definitely need to keep your o-rings and threads greased but to protect them but also to prevent water intrusion. IP68 doesn't mean crap if your o-ring splits.
The Eneloop AA batteries I use - amzn.to/3BlfCVh
The Eneloop AAA Batteries I use - amzn.to/3a9ZHgL
Eneloop AA Batteries with a 4 gang wall charger - amzn.to/3lhJ4pM
Eneloop AAA batteries with a 4 gang wall charger - amzn.to/3Bg7Zj2
Eneloop Pro batteries - higher mah but less recharges - amzn.to/2YpZKlF
The battery storage boxes I use:
AA - amzn.to/2WMUgBh
AAA - amzn.to/3Ah0KpN
I found the 'lantern' cap that comes with the Lumintops separately (I think) - but be warned, there is a $5 shipping charge and it takes a month to arrive - amzn.to/2WPIqq2
Coming up soon will be my version of a 'pocket dump' EDC video and later on I'll show you what I keep in my truck bag. Make sure to subscribe so you don't miss that.

    Just an FYI... The unit can run off 110v OR 220v. That's why the mains connection is labeled L2/N. If using 220v then that terminal is L2, but if you're using 110v, then that terminal is neutral.

    Great video. I'm having a house built with two separate HVAC systems, so builder is recommending two of these units at $2800 each, including installation. I'm considering installing them myself to save some cash. I installed an Aprilaire 760 on a previous house, which was not too difficult, so this one doesn't seem like a big climb. Your video is great, although I wish you had also included the steps for connecting the humidistat and all of the electrical connections. Thank you.

  • @waynehearst317
    @waynehearst317 3 หลายเดือนก่อน

    What you need is a power bank with, "pass-through charging" so it can receive a charge from the solar panel while also providing constant power to the Wyze camera. Understand, you need a power bank with enough power to sustain darkness, and also know that while the charging banks are connected to a solar panel AND charging a device, they charge-up at about 1/2 the speed as normal. This is to control heat; a battery that receiving energy AND sending energy will got hot very fast. So, what size mAH power bank do you need? Well, that's a complicated answer. Depends mostly on how much sunlight, and quality of sunlight you have as-well-as the size and capability of your panel knowing the Wyze cam only needs about 1W of power.

    • @VincentSmith1776
      @VincentSmith1776 3 หลายเดือนก่อน

    The reason they don't use a wiring diagram like you suggest at 31:55 is because if a field technician is told to connect 240v to it but sees a diagram indicating terminals for L1/L2 and neutral, they may assume it's not compatible with 240v. The slash indicates either/or, never both. Any qualified tech should know not to connect a leg to neutral. Likewise, on your diagram, I'd know better than to connect both legs to the same terminal, but I'd be very apprehensive about connecting a leg to a terminal strictly marked neutral. The factory diagram tells me that it's compatible with both voltages, but I'd still use some critical thinking to check for any configuration differences and see if there's a transformer that needs different taps connected. Otherwise, great video.. definitely helped me out as an HVAC tech

    Thank you for this very informative video! Answered a lot of questions for me. I have a houseful of neotropic exotic birds that require humidity and use the small hot mist units by Vicks. Nothing else has been as good but it gets tedious maintaining them and they only last about a year or two before they crack or need replacement. Have you noticed a hike in your water / energy bills? I am on the fence for installing because I’m unsure about generating an additional 1000 gallons of water/ month for this… we’re pretty conservative & see it would a luxury for the whole house to have humidity. It doesn’t sound very energy efficient having to run the fan blower around the clock. Right now the personal humidifiers only take up 2 gallons per day but I have to keep refilling them and then cleaning them out with vinegar mix once a week.

    • @VincentSmith1776
      @VincentSmith1776 5 หลายเดือนก่อน

      We didn't see a "holy crap" change in our water use or electric use. Can't say they didn't go up, but not enough to notice. As for the blower, it doesn't use enough electricity to worry about. 90% of your electric bill is from resistive elements (stove, dryer, etc.) and compressors (AC, heat pump, refrigerator, etc.) Glad I can help.

    Nice thorough review. I was interested to see that when you opened up the blade compartment yours had no sawdust or chips inside like mine did. Mine appeared to have factory wrapping so I thought maybe Dewalt tested them at the factory but it’s evident that isn’t true and I received a used unit. So I sent the damn thing back to Amazon. The bottom plate on mine had some minor scratches and a small divot which raised suspicion leading me to open up the unit up before using it. Lesson learned and warning to others…it might have been fine but it’s not worth the risk for saving ~$35.

    Everything is of course a personal choice, for everyday EDC I use the Streamlight Microstream USB. For work, I use Lumintop Tool AAA simply because it does not have a focused light, so it does not shine when I inspect the machines. I have both olight i3T and i5T, all lamps work without error. Of course, you always have to take into account where you live, some live in the countryside, some in the city, some need strong lumens, some don't. Although I have to admit that recently Lumintop Tool AAA has become my favorite light. I use Eneloop Pro in it and I am very satisfied

    I setting up one of these for running my Milwaukee Portable Bandsaw. Albeit, I'm just using one outlet instead of three. Unfortunately my foot pedal connection aren't marked and I was assuming it was the middle connection, but you showed how to check for LO...like DOAH! I especially like the zip tie idea, the not cutting the neutral, and the LED lighted cord indicating power.

    Wrap the cord around the handles

    Does the outdoor sensor optional?

      I suppose you could choose to bypass it. But that could result in condensation forming in the house and inside the walls of your house. I strongly recommend using it per the instructions.

    great video, I had a few questions, does the steamer have to be installed above the humidifier so the excess will drain back to it? does it have to be hot or cold side for water supply? if applicable, can you wire your humidifier into the furnace high voltage 110v? (if so wouldn't you wire L1 to L1 (black) then L2 (white) and ground wire to ground terminal in furnace. in my situation everything will be withing 5 ft of furnace except outdoor temp sensor (furnace horizontal 6in off floor)

      Thanks! The steam line from the humidifier must be routed uphill from the humidifier to the manifold that you place in the duct downstream of the furnace for 2 reasons. First so it disperses the steam into the heated air to avoid condensation in the ductwork. Second, so that condensation in the steam line runs back into the humidifier by gravity. You feed the unit from a cold water supply. You cannot wire the electrical supply to the humidifier from the furnace. It needs a dedicated circuit from your panel box.

    How much of an increase in electricity cost to use this?

      Not a noticeable difference on our electric bill in our climate.
