You're not going to get that much power for $50. I recommend looking at the Sofirn Q8 Plus, 13k lumens for $130. Th Sofirn SP36 Pro is 8k lumens for $70.

The Armytek Wizard C2 Pro that I reviewed remains my favorite right-angle light/headlamp.

@@LuxWad I appreciate the feedback, thank you.

You threw away a FW4A?

@@LuxWad jup. I think something was wrong with The software. It did all kind of wierd things.. Output of the thing was really inpressive tho.

Can’t you just turn the androil to a simple mode. it seem pretty simple to me. One click- last brightness setting and click and hold to increase brightness.

@@thatyoutubeguy7583 yeah but when you carry it and press the button accidentally it will do different settings.. It was a nightmare light

From off 3C > 7H, wait until item 2 > 0C. This setting is for voltage indicator seconds, doing nothing should turn it off.

@@LuxWad It worked, thank you. I do not see such information in scheme attached to flashlight.

i can agree to some degree that an app for initial setup or configuration would be very useful + a config mode on the light with selectable config settings for redundancy in case the phone is not in reach. I do not need a lot of the settings like changing the auto standby for example and this would be a good way to declutter the menus.

Harvard is now offering doctorate courses to those willing to spend 7 years becoming a master of Anduril.

More or less. I've got time this summer to focus on videos for both channels, and I've learned how to streamline my process significantly. I'm committed to making videos w/ Lumencraft through the end of this year, but afterwards, I don't plan on continuing to make more save for one or two projects that never got finished. It could change, I'll have to reassess when I get there.

Thanks for your amazing UI TK

Lol sorry about that

@@LuxWad My man. Better late than never. I'm sure I'll forget and need a reference soon enough!

Keeping up with the changes can definitely be frustrating sometimes

It's just the nature of these lights, the head isn't big enough to sink all that heat - you can't beat physics. It's why I don't recommend these lights very often to people looking for something more practical. However, the boost driver really helps to improve sustained output.

Interesting! I never thought of shadows as a side effect of light. Now that you mention it, it makes perfect sense. If you dont want to see shadows, do not use light. Better still, keep your eyes closed, but that may not be a good idea when riding a bike.

@wh0tube In all seriousness, I do find that in some applications, having a headlamp can actually hinder depth perception a bit and hide small obstacles in roads/trails because the shadows effectively disappear with light emanating directly from your line of sight. Not sure what the above commenter was trying to say though lol.

@@LuxWad 😁 could it be a factor of beam angle, brightness, and colour temperature? Based on no evidence whatsoever (maybe just a little of my own research backed by i disputable QAnon facts), I have a feeling that wider, brighter, and cooler lights would decrease depth perception. But the best strategy when riding in t(e dark is to ride blindfolded using Jedi techniques. May the force be with you LuxWad, and you @ghostbomb!

I can't tell if this comment is supposed to be satire or not

@@LuxWad LOL i JOKE I JOKE I KID I KID

@@LuxWad it would be nice if you did make more videos tho even tho i dont care i just like flashlights and i like you and MATT witch i never see anymore

@@LuxWad yeah im old but i look younger then you do lol

@@PattiPoss lol I wish Matt was able to make more videos too, he is unfortunately too busy right now which is why I've been uploading more recently. I have a few videos going up this summer but I won't be able to continue uploading as the year ends

You should probably stop watching this channel 😂

I was very impressed by the moonlight capabilities of this one

@@LuxWad honestly, so much more important to me than turbo. Thanks for showing that! I literally bought one after seeing this. Been wanting to try a hank light for a while, and this looks perfect. 😄

(Well, it would be even more perfect with as a tail clicky, but this still looks great.)

Me?

The company seemed really good responding to my emails, and I brought this torch the other week so not sure what you're on about.... BTW this is a torch review TH-cam channel

Glad to hear it's worked so well for you :)

It doesn't appear to be identical, but is very similar; basically all the Emisars have the same button. It's one of my favorite eswitches however, what isn't good about yours?

@@LuxWad Hmm maybe I got a bad one. My one lacks really any tactile "clickyness" and requires the finger to be centered exactly over where the switch is and the actual force to actuate the click has to be inline with the switch. So hitting the switch diagonally doesn't work. And just for context, I own about 5 different convoys lights and use my main light every single day.

@@m4w Countries other than the US exist

Single-emitter would have been really interesting for this light... but then I would still prefer an 18650 (The KR1 is too fat in my opinion, something like a D4 with just one LED and a TIR optic would be awesome)

A Hank made single emitter 18650 light with a throwy optic and aux LEDs is like my dream light. Like a fun Olight warrior. But alas, it's also the one type of light that apparently Hank says he will never make. And that's too bad. The dm11 is a superb light, just too big for pocket carry

That would have been a really cool addition. IDK if this driver would be able to handle a third voltage range without some issues though

@@LuxWad Yeah since your video came out I've been researching more in case I wanted to get one and found a review of the NIMH being mishandled by the driver and sometimes pulling full current like as if it was a 14500. Maybe I will stay away from version 1 of this driver firmware and see if this is corrected in a few months. Those voltages of 14500, NIMH have been handled fine in many other flashlights so hoping they just need to fix some bugs in the code!

Definitely makes sense. I find it to be a perfect in-between size, where 21700 is just a bit too large for EDC and 14500 isn't large enough to be useful.

I prefer AAA lights for the pocket edc and then I grab 18650 lights if I'm going somewhere I know I'll need good light. I don't have any 21700. IMO 14500 is kind of just an awkward size. This light in particular I think it's a little too bulky compared to other 14500 capable lights like the Tool AA. I think 2x AA lights are a nice form factor, though.

Standard optic, floody optic and throwy optic are all available options for the D3AA

Also go for a throwy LED like the Osram W1 CSLNM1 and the thowy optic.

That's pretty typical for these lights, when pushed that hard they tend to fluctuate more.

Yes

All functions are exactly the same
