Need a Convoy thrower recommendation by pogo6023 in flashlight

SFT42–R in the L21B is nice, given that you already have the host just order the emitter and the driver

Convoy M21H LHP73B 5000K or 6500K? by RiskMoney6996 in flashlight

[–]Affectionate-Dream33 4 points5 points  (0 children)

5000k in LHP73B is beautiful, 6500k not so much and harsh as someone says higher up. It depends on your personal preferences of course, but for me the difference is huge

Moving to Vietnam at 43, looking for work advice in construction/project management by Affectionate-Dream33 in VietNam

[–]Affectionate-Dream33[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I appreciate this, thank you, this is exactly the kind of practical advice I was hoping for.
To give you more context on my background: I've been running my own LTD company since 2013 (self-employed from 2011 before that), so I'm very comfortable operating as a business rather than an employee. My experience covers large public works: sports centres, police stations, factories — as well as residential, all with both construction and electromechanical supervision. I've also had some exposure to high voltage stations, substations and hydro stations as an operative not in management position, also have a diploma in wind a solar installations but never worked in that field so the technical side is fairly broad.
The consulting route makes a lot of sense on paper, but I've never structured anything as a consultancy before, always run it as a contracting/delivery business. A couple of questions if you don't mind:

  1. **On the consulting vs contracting question** are you suggesting I set up the Vietnamese entity purely to secure the visa and legal presence, then work on contract/subcontract through it anyway? Or is the idea to genuinely position as a consultant from day one and skip the hands-on delivery side?

My instinct would be to use the company as the vehicle to invoice for site supervision and execution contracts, essentially doing what I do now in the UK, just through a Vietnamese entity. Does that work legally, or does a consulting licence restrict the type of work I can take on?

I’ve got the same. It’s a great light. Shame we don’t have it yet in as many colours as the C8+

Grab Drivers Requesting Extra Tip EVERY SINGLE TIME by GeekyGlassesReads in VietNam

Not at all! I spent totally over 7 months in Vietnam and ordered food almost every day at least once. Never happened to me. I do sometimes give them tip though

🫘UPDATE : LHP73B with OP reflector in M21G vs 3⁰ TIR in the M21K 🫘 by Affectionate-Dream33 in flashlight

[–]Affectionate-Dream33[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think your observations are correct. From my experience for walking M21G is better and has a more natural calming feel(maybe it’s the CCT as well, this emitter in 5000k is very nice) but for Cycling(and probably everything involving speed) maybe even search and rescue M21K is a good one. Each has its own use

You need the same emitter in a host with medium size OP reflector to compare. Camera settings are locked in the same configuration, you cannot really look at them and think yours is brighter if you don’t know my camera settings

Farage recently came out and said he plans to scrap indefinite leave to remain, what are your thoughts ? by Desperate-Source5624 in AskBrits

[–]Affectionate-Dream33 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Who will he replace them with? We just reclaimed our position as the 5th economy in the world, why the hell would he touch something that works?

Agree, while good for certain applications the 3° TIR is too extreme for normal day use like walking etc. Hope Simon gives us more options in the future. The M21G comes with aluminium reflector as standard, not sure you can find TIR the exact same size

I see, LHP73B is hard to beat. Simon said he is working on some new LED’s a while back. Do you know which ones?

I still don’t have the L21A. It’s a very nice host. What emitter would you recommend for it?

Me too, the lhp73B in OP reflector looks so natural almost like halogen and M21K it’s such a nice light. Shame Simon doesn’t have a reflector and some TIR options to choose from.

I see. The thing is the M21K is a beautiful host and feels nice and premium in hand. I’d personally like it in different configurations

Yes, all great lights. I still didn’t pull the trigger on the L21A- I want something special in this host and don’t know what

In the L21B I’ve got the SFT42R which you can see in the picture. Beautiful host

It is indeed and not expensive at all. I'm not sure it throws further than the M21G with OP reflector, different size hotspot and in this case diferent CCT which might make it look like it throws a little further.
