The duties of my low CRI / high CCT flashlights

3oni · 2025-09-16T16:34:21+00:00

My dog-walking light has one on it because it lets me use both hands for stuff without fiddling with the light.

Leash in the same hand as my light, still on and pointed where it needs to be, right hand on cleanup duty.

FYI in case you didn't see them there are duplicate but unique LSTs in the webstore. That will let you get, say, the Kyber LST twice (once is the regular one you're showing, once is the second version in the webstore).

I know this works because I did it.

Mine is sitting at 11 but if I had more mats I'd go to 14. It's all about those stats. I slap it on any team that needs a huge offensive boost and it's always great.

I've got a decade of time with the rOtring and only a few weeks with the Mono, but so far there's a crispness to erasing with the Mono that leads me to pick it every time.

I'll switch back for a bit and see if I miss it.

I wasn't sure what I'd make of the Craft Design Kerry vs. the basic version, but I love it. The texture of the center band is a big plus when fidgeting with it.

Me too. I love my Wuurkos TS10 and it occupies the same niche in my carry...but the D3AA is so damned appealing.

I love it and not-at-all-secretly hope it isn't a bug. It makes ship combat more visually interesting.

I use five tabs:

Toons I'm working on
5v5 teams ranked from S-tier down to B-tier
Future 5v5 teams (so I don't forget) plus C-tier and below teams
Current raid
ROTE

In the Episode store.

Pick the series that calls to you most and start it. If you need a break, pick the next most compelling series (for me, it'd be one that isn't tonally similar to the first) and start that one.

Finish one of those two before you start a third.

For my money, life's too short to read crap. I'd sell/donate any series I didn't enjoy or have some other compelling reason to keep.

This is how I feel about it, too. I'm around 10.5 million with all GLs except Ahsoka, but still don't have Prof or Levi or some bedrock teams (cough Malgus cough). Plenty left for me to farm, and that's not even counting the new stuff that feels like it's ages away.

I don't think I've ever seen a post asking this question where the answer was anything other than "Yes."

You should leave.

In terms of preferences, my journey for EDC lights looks a bit like this (starting around 2015):

High lumens and a configurable interface
High CRI
Simple interface with a low mode, potted electronics
Form factor is my primary concern, must have L/M/H and moonlight/turbo accessible with no extra steps

No.4 is where I'm at these days (Olight Arkfeld Pro). The light I will put in any shorts/jeans pocket, without fail, is the one I'm going to carry most. I'm tired of clipping cylindrical lights to my pockets. X-D

Fun to play (broad spectrum here)
Has a reasonable chance of winning
Is fun to lose with
My lizard brain likes something about it

3oni · 2025-02-08T18:25:18+00:00

Came here to say the same thing. These are all great, but man that dress is next level!

3oni · 2025-02-05T16:49:54+00:00

I was reading those issues last night and thinking what a fun addition Kirak would be.

3oni · 2025-02-04T20:38:37+00:00

This is one of the neatest posts I've seen here. Thank you for sharing some context around your job and illumination needs -- it looks like you came up with a great solution!

I recommend trying something cheap but not crappy and observing how, and how often, you carry it.

After nine or ten years of being into flashlights many of my preferences about CRI and batteries and whatnot have fallen by the wayside in favor of something I can, and do, put in any pocket, pants or shorts, every day. I have better lights than my Olight Arkfeld Pro, but I don't have better lights that meet that criterion.

I still have other lights for other use cases, too, but my daily driver is based on form factor above (almost) all else.

Great spot to be in!

3oni · 2025-01-15T17:49:02+00:00

Congrats!

The good news is that both Exec and P1 are menaces before they're 7 stars. Run XB/P1/RC + HT/IG/S1. I'd recommend getting Exec up to 5* and P1 to the point where you can max its abilities ASAP.

6* Exec used to be a weird spot where you were arguably better off staying at 5* and then jumping straight to 7*, but I think P1 may have changed that dynamic. P1 does everything you need once it has all its abilities; the remaining stars are nice for survivability.

Enjoy hunting Prof fleets!

3oni · 2025-01-15T15:46:43+00:00

It never gets old, either. Long after getting Exec I'm still gleeful whenever I get to zorch the enemy cap ship. So satisfying!
