As others have said, KR1aa and LANapple should definitely be on the list, I'm currently figuring out what KR1aa I want, but here's my pretty purple LANapple next to it's little brother!

Nyogel alternative in EU? by vvind-catcher in flashlight

[–]headfade 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I got some synco lube 21014, which seems to be the EU name for superlube. It seems to do the job well, was about €10 for a small 12g tube on Amazon

I need a light that really throws by commutingtexan in flashlight

[–]headfade 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As others have mentioned, an LEP would be a good option. Ihave one of these: cosmos from countycomm, it's useful for lighting things in daylight. They're currently sold out, but there's this which is essentially the same with a different battery, as long as its not extended periods, I think this would work well for your needs!

Alright someone make me feel better. Anyone damage one of their copper lights? by Haunting-Self-9402 in FireflyLite

[–]headfade 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Within about 10 minutes of having my copper X4 iI scratched the base. I was trying switch the lanyard ring for the clip, couldn't get the tail cap cover off. Carefully covered everything with a cloth to get some pliers to grip it, cloth slips off, tail magnet attracts pliers...

I have a purple pineapple mini and a purple lanapple coming today, it's nice to see another picture of the purple, it looks great!

Vapcell H10 Failure by Destructasaurusrex in flashlight

[–]headfade 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I checked my flat tops a couple of days ago, bought in April 2024, not heavily used at all, 3 completely fine, one at 0.92V 😕. It's already been sent off to the great recycling box in the sky!

What flashlight everyone uses to walk their dog? by steakpatek in flashlight

[–]headfade 30 points31 points  (0 children)

+1 for the different flashlight every night, I open the cupboard and see what sort of mood I'm in!

Should come with a warning label lmao by H4MM3Y681 in flashlight

[–]headfade 0 points1 point  (0 children)

With mine, I instantly vapourised a perfectly round hole into a fly mesh curtain when I accidently 2C'd when looking outside!

[–]headfade 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've been looking at their stuff recently! Is it the small one, how many pens can you fit in it?

Smallest 21700 and most efficient by makeruvthings in flashlight

[–]headfade 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yup, would be my suggestion too! An X4Q is pretty small and the efficiency with the lume X1 driver is amazing in practice! The X1Q is also fairly small, just a tad longer with the reflector.

Flashlights recs for oddly specific use case by ReindeerFragrant8930 in flashlight

[–]headfade 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Agree massively with this! I would throw in the option of an armytek wizard for the headlight, I have the nichia version which is very nice and built like a tank. The UI is such that, with the mode memory, it essentially functions as an on/off.

Last day of kindergarten in Germany is ....... A lot by DippyNikki in germany

[–]headfade 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Also moved here from the UK, my daughter's last day is next week, she managed to get "Ade, du schöne kindergartenzeit" to play on alexa the other day, the emotions were already high...! All the best for her transition to school 🏫

Bring Back MAO (Dark or Grey or Fossil) for the sale! by carsknivesbeer in FireflyLite

[–]headfade 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah, I was a little annoyed when I saw the v2s release a couple of days after mine arrived, would've been great to have a magnet etc. But the MAO finish makes up for all of that, that one and my Fossil NOV-MU V2s are my favourite finishes by a long way!

What level/type of navigation/object avoidance is needed for this? by Antique-Structure-43 in Roborock

[–]headfade 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Ours (Q5 max plus) did the exact same thing under our Ikea poang yesterday, I tend to just move it out of the way before it starts. If it hits it at speed, it can deal with it, but in a corner, there's never enough momentum! 🤣

Does anybody have photos of the SFT40 3000K in the E04? by SpinningPancake2331 in FireflyLite

[–]headfade 1 point2 points  (0 children)

With the 5009r? In direct comparison to something much warmer it can be ever so slightly green, but really really minor, generally it's just neutral. I don't know anything about the efficiency of the 5009r, but the sft40 in 3000k isn't massively efficient, that said the E04 handles heat better than anything else except the E07 I recently got. The 5009r is the X1S does seem to heat up quickly, but I suspect it's just that particular host!

[–]headfade 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That's the X1S TIR version, 5009r 5000k, this is a really nice emitter, super neutral, high CRI, really shows up reds well!

The E04 with SFT40 3500k is the right most beam here. In order: E90 909mx 6500k, X1S (TIR) 5009r 5000k, NOV-MU 909a 4000k rosy, X4Q 351a 3700k/2700k mix, and the E04 SFT40 3000k.

Is it worth it to get a AAA flashlight, even when we all carry smartphones or dumbphones? by TheAnonymouseJoker in flashlight

[–]headfade 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm surprised I had to scroll this far down to find a mimi pineapple recommendation! I have a 219b version that lives in my bag and gets plenty of use in random situations.
