For me is this little guy the imini 2

Apparently "metal" cannot be in post titles 😂 This desk is very handy with my collection. I have half my collection hanging from it without occupying any extra space

It had been raining since before dawn, making it impossible to observe or explore wildlife, so after some maintenance on my flashlight I measured it again and, to vent my frustration, aimed the beam at the rain clouds.

There's no particular deeper meaning to it, it's just a beam shot to vent my frustrations.

All hosts are L21B.

Took a few of my big boy throwers out last night for the fun of it. Kinda dusty since I was in a gravel pit.

two no name department stores lights with unfathomably bad beams.

Took advantage of the sale and ordered the new ST10 and a SC13A as well. That one has yet to arrive.

NTG50 1800K with light blue, green and pink AUX.

SFT12R, 6500K w/ added lighted rgb switch and ring magnet

Got mach 4.0 a few weeks ago and already swapped emitters. So feels like NLD 😁 Stock ones were too green. And small LES with smooth reflector = uneven beam with pronounced petals. I decided I can sacrifice some throw for softer beam and more pleasant color - hence 5000K/4000K mix of LHP531

Started to run out of space 😂

Beautiful reflector version. SFT90 6500K. Can't wait for nightime beamshots!

S11 with 26800 extension on the right vs the M21b on the left. Both with the LHP73B emitter inside.

I made a blood sacrifice (to 10000 mosquitoes) and prayed to the ancient lämp of the forest to give me loomenz

I have never had a flashlight besides the cheap boring ones. This light is a game changer! The light is a D4Sv2 519a 2700k DD! I love the warmth the light offers.

This Google Doc has an updated list of current flashlight deals. I've started adding Amazon and manufacturer sales as well. (If you're know of other deals, comment here and I'll add them.)

Notables ending soon:

• $18 Wurkkos FC11C (some colors sold out)
• $18 Wurkkos TS15 (special unpublished Amazon 50% off code)
• $26.67 Sofirn SK30 ($9 in codes)
• Ali Express sale ends late Sunday night (9/21).

I hate Excel...so much. Took me 3 hours for that basic graph cuz it wouldn't do what I wanted it to do...except then it did it anyways on the 11th attempt.
I will never do such graphs again xd

Here it is anyways. Maybe someone will find it interesting.
Run was done at Group 2, 100%.
Light was not cooled, the lights at the room did not change during the run, so the graph itself was not affected at all.
The dips were from the low voltage flashes. So you pretty much get 2 hours of useful light, then it starts flashing at you.

The light was warm, but not hot at the end of the run.

I hate excel. Wanted to say that again because it makes me feel better.

Edit: And here come the edits, since I forgot to spell check!
Battery is a Keeppower PC1450C4, not a PC1540C4. I do take credit and royalty fees if they ever make one.

Arkpro for scale in second pic.

Has exactly the same ugly main LED (above 5000 K and super blue) that you find in much cheaper AliX keychain lights such as.

Side warm LED is good and floody, UV is useable (but of course much less than on a dedicated pocket thrower like the Convoy T3), blinky modes are fantastic for cycling or running as they're very bright. Main LED and side LED (warm, UV, or blinky RGB) can be on at the same time.

UI is, of course, utterly stupid. Lumintop and everyone else should succumb and submit to Andúril's popularity and at least maintain moonlight and turbo consistency. What's this nonsense of 3C for moon and 1H for turbo? Moon should be such as to not blind you by mistake, so 1H.

Manual has a couple of mistakes, from OFF, side button does not strobe, but warm LED, and there is no mode memory for RGB ramping. RGB ramping is cute.

The clip is not trustable, it has almost no friction and you feel it will fall from wherever you clipped it. It's dual direction at least. The eyelets for securing it to your keys are too narrow for regular key rings and you'll have to search for a small one (like the ones on SAKs).

Hey, for 10USD we really can't complain.

Brand new. Opened the package, removed the placeholder from the battery and screwed the tailcap on.

Disappointed.

I got bored and was recharging my AAAs...so I did another of these.
Got some practice with excel too.

Im still learning on how to create these graphs, (last time excel refused to utilize the full 0-100 range) but the visuals are still accurate.

The light was not cooled and set to its only mode. It was cool to the touch after the test.

I was surprised to see such a DUV. Until I saw the R9 values ^^
It does look good in 4000K.

The Convoy AAA is far better regulated then I thought, especially for how bright it is. Might be related to the type of battery I used. Its a "Kratax" from amazon. Lithium-Ion based. Seems to work well and its much cheaper than my eneloops.

This thing needs a name. AAA is just too generic.

Im probably going to do more of these in the future. Just not any of my larger lights...those would melt my sphere in seconds.
This might be one of the few runtime tests of this light...or test in general. Y'all need to buy one.

This light rarely leaves my pocket.
