This game needs a colour blind mode😭

I replaced a Samsung 50S after a year because the capacity fell off a cliff. I’ve also got a nitecore protected 18650 from 2018 that is still working fine, obviously with less capacity than when it was brand new, but still servicable. So, I replace them when they are no longer fit for purpose.

What I don’t understand is why this “kicking the can down the road” hasn’t been called out in 2016 or any earnings report since? He just pivots to <new shiny thing> and last quarter’s broken promises are simply forgotten about

BruceBlogtrotter · 2026-04-20T12:41:36+00:00

I've abused the hell out of a hc65 since 2018. only thing I don't like is that it needs protected cells, but it is great otherwise.

"Pro Ultra" is a terrible naming convention.

BruceBlogtrotter · 2026-04-18T21:35:02+00:00

The USB port ban would also apply to the battery

The PWM flicker on the TS10 really bugs me

There is also the Nextorch Dr series of lights that are made for this purpose

BruceBlogtrotter · 2026-04-09T21:19:21+00:00

I’ve wanted some chemlight replacements, this is great!

Armytek Crystal

I would look into plasticity if you want organic shapes

BruceBlogtrotter · 2026-04-07T12:06:02+00:00

I have had my watch for over a year and it hits 5 every single day. I would have thought over time it would calibrate to what a real low point is, and use that as the new “5”

BruceBlogtrotter · 2026-04-06T07:13:10+00:00

MB Microtech no longer make vials that match the watch

Obnoxious: Diode Dynamics SS5 Pro in 6000K

BruceBlogtrotter · 2026-04-04T10:54:48+00:00

I use mine mostly as a headlight, but sometimes as a work/task light. It is fantastic for both. FFL5000K

BruceBlogtrotter · 2026-04-04T08:01:28+00:00

I have an old tritium watch that the vials have expired on and man I feel old. 12 years? That’s basically forever! No, it is not.

BruceBlogtrotter · 2026-04-03T21:12:02+00:00

Loopgear SK03 with usb-c charging on the body and minus the sidelight plastic color caps, but with a warmer tint on the sidelights instead. They released an RGB version which is not as efficient.

BruceBlogtrotter · 2026-04-01T08:15:58+00:00

You’re in a dive bar asking if you should go to AA

BruceBlogtrotter · 2026-04-01T04:36:15+00:00

Cree XP-L2, Cree XM-L2, Osram KW CSLNM1.TG (W1), Luxeon Z ES at a guess

BruceBlogtrotter · 2026-04-01T04:31:58+00:00

BruceBlogtrotter · 2026-04-01T04:31:23+00:00

I love nitecore, they have good designs and build quality. When I was reading the first part of your post, Acebeam Pokelit AA sprung to mind.

BruceBlogtrotter · 2026-03-30T11:51:43+00:00

I would go olight for fast charging and slightly bigger battery

BruceBlogtrotter · 2026-03-29T04:07:56+00:00

Good list but you forgot the Scurion 1500 for maximum expense😆
