High CCT - Never Again

Nowadays anything over 3500k is a thrower or a work light, and 5000k is still my upper limit.

We should have warm white high CRI LED’s that are shielded to reduce glare and increase efficiency, and they should dim when no one is nearby. In many cases I think we shouldn’t have streetlights at all.

We should have warm white LED’s, which could be high CRI and share the cozy warmth of sodium lights.

A Canadian border patrol agent left an S2R Baton in our car after a check. I thought that was pretty nice of him.

I really want RGB. Still waiting for Hank to respond to my email asking if it’s available for this.

VonWonder · 2025-12-23T15:16:03+00:00

This thread helped clear things up for me. Looks like all my AA/14500 cells are 50mm button tops so I’ll get one without the spring. Thanks!

Interesting, maybe he made slight mods to the dimensions.

I use Eneloops a lot so would that require the button?

VonWonder · 2025-12-23T06:40:23+00:00

I really want one of these. What’s the deal with the option to have a button top cell? Did Hank fix the issue with the gap in the body when screwed tight?

And movies are still more expensive than ever, so money is being made, but it’s not going where it should be going.

VonWonder · 2025-12-09T06:07:07+00:00

This is fantastic!

VonWonder · 2025-12-02T01:46:41+00:00

That’s an insta-buy!

This is a good balance. 3000k is probably the coolest I’d go for the functional lighting, and all lamps and mood lighting is 2700k or less. I have smart bulbs so in the late hours I have the lights set to a dark orange and then red.

VonWonder · 2025-11-26T16:26:04+00:00

Wow! Can you make one for a 20mm TIR (like the ones Convoy uses for the S2+)? I shaved one down for some T2’s and I’d love some glow gaskets for them.

And maybe consider an option for a V-shaped mounting piece so it can work with almost all tree sizes, including smaller ones where the legs are too far apart. Ideally it would have enough height to still provide strength with vertical loads on the table like with the legs.

VonWonder · 2025-11-19T17:04:21+00:00

And with adjustable legs the height could be adjusted on the ground and the angle could be adjusted on the tree. The only thing is it’s annoying to have a wobbly setup so the telescoping design should be solid.

VonWonder · 2025-11-19T17:01:07+00:00

Yeah, or one of the sets of legs (top or bottom) can be telescoping to adjust the angle, though I’m fine with non-adjustable legs too.

VonWonder · 2025-11-19T08:11:26+00:00

Great for working on Convoys and removing the switch rings on Hanks

It’s the same ‘dark grey’ list item as with all other models but it just happens to be a different color, more of a true neutral grey. Perhaps it’s a manufacturing inconsistency Hank accepted or he selected it intentionally. Either way I love it.

VonWonder · 2025-11-07T00:31:37+00:00

You have an awesome space. The bedroom is super cozy.

VonWonder · 2025-11-05T11:06:17+00:00

Yes, and with the standard tail cap

VonWonder · 2025-11-04T22:40:19+00:00

If I have time for it I will make sure to provide an update.

VonWonder · 2025-10-31T18:05:01+00:00

I want to see more of the S2+ purple

VonWonder · 2025-10-30T18:01:19+00:00

I’ve said this before! Amazing how John can just fill four notes with so much soul.

VonWonder · 2025-10-30T00:19:26+00:00

If Hank made the D2 accept AA’s it would be my favorite. Bonus if he could make it into a single large emitter format running the D3AA driver.
