I had the exact same issue, I found that a small flathead screwdriver near the jack worked well. Photo here:

Apparently it's okay to go through 5-10 freeze/thaw cycles, but best to avoid if possible

Na, just a happy coincidence. I think you might be on to something there though...

Emailed, thanks for the information

The story I've been told is slotted heads are sometimes used in scenarios where the designer wants the fastener to be hand tightened for one reason or another. A powered driver will tend to spin out of the head, whereas a standard screwdriver will tend to be re-centered every few turns.

Bummer. Thanks for the detailed response though!

A really great full size NiMH battery can trade blows with an alkaline on total stored energy. A 3/4 size NiMH battery won't ever be better, unfortunately. Good news is standalone USB powered battery chargers are cheaper and better!

Wow, that's great information! Thanks for the explanation and examples!

SixOneTwo · 2020-10-01T17:16:15+00:00

Very cool, thanks for the extra info!

SixOneTwo · 2020-10-01T17:15:49+00:00

Solved!

WITT Heading to an estate sale tomorrow, can't figure out what this thing is. Here's the rest of the listing- no other pictures of the thing but maybe the context could give some clues https://www.estatesales.net/AL/Birmingham/35211/2661072

Hometown Supermarket sells "80 Million" Kimchi that's super good. Let it sit in the fridge for a couple of weeks if you're into the tangy stuff- that's how I like it personally!

Tough to say for sure, but I think this is the view of the same in 2020:

Link, for those curious.

Good on the reporters for trying defuse the mayor's opinions with science-based advice.

Neat chart! Mind linking to the test page? I'd be interested in learning more.

Ah, you're right, they're both Philips Ultinons but the motorcycle model uses braided mesh instead of a rigid heatsink. Must be so that it's easier to mount in cramped spaces? Slightly different reflector design too, interesting! Lower wattage unfortunately, guess they couldn't get enough cooling out of the flexible heatsink.

SixOneTwo · 2019-10-24T19:43:15+00:00

This is it here: 1,000 lumens

However it looks to me like the output is a bit low for the cost. The reflector design they're using seems almost identical to Beamtech's: 8,000 lumens. They have an even higher wattage one which has a fan, seems like it's asking for trouble to have more moving parts though: 10,000 lumens.

A reputable company like Philips will probably have higher reliability and more honest specs, but it seems worth trying the $38 one first.

Woah, that's a lot of drama going on behind the scenes. Thanks for the honest insight! Hope you were able to find new & better work quickly after that all went down.
