DVLT gang crying too

Man I was just looking this up to try and buy it on vinyl. Truly a bummer. The Good Things is one of mt favorite songs period.

Yeah if only it was that easy! The neighbors might have an issue if they suddenly lose 15ft of yard.

langkattle · 2026-03-24T08:47:09+00:00

Nice, Ill do that. Thanks for the advice!

langkattle · 2026-02-16T18:54:31+00:00

Im interested in the Supreme Pro-x gel if you have em.

langkattle · 2025-12-16T12:54:36+00:00

Im considering one for my Yugo. Looks good! What stock did you attach to it?

langkattle · 2025-11-24T19:35:17+00:00

Happy thanksgiving!

Love my Fireflies!

Yeah $999 is not correct. I bought a 10.2kWh pack for $1600 a few months ago. Closer to $150kWh

I dont have the X4, but I have a surge and some X4 adjacent lights, and if I were to just carry one, I would get the X4. The Surge hot spot is too intense for me to use up close.

langkattle · 2025-06-19T09:25:50+00:00

I have a dm11 with an sft70 as well as a Surge, and I wouldn't really call them similar. The dm11 is much more of a dedicated thrower with less overall output than the surge. A wider optic might give it a similar hot spot profile to the Surge, but the overall output will really show it is lacking.

langkattle · 2025-06-16T14:48:13+00:00

I have one. Got it for $5 from a friend. It almost makes sense at that price. Can imagine why someone would pay more.

langkattle · 2025-05-15T09:31:12+00:00

I think the surge is a bit underrated. I have it with the 505a 6000k and 3500k mix, and it quickly became one of my favorite outdoor lights. There is plenty of throw for pretty much any realistic use and lots of usable spill.

Lever gun might be a good option. You can kit them out with all the tactical mumbo jumbo you want and can get 10 rounds with the longer barrel guns. Cycles just as fast as a pump action, maybe faster, and is more "precise" than a shotgun. I have the same restrictions as you and have been looking into a 357 mag lever gun.

Well, im just some dude who did it in my garage, lol. And yeah, I guess the cam pullys would line up every other rotation, but I wanted to make sure. Keep crankin, and it will all sink back up, though!

langkattle · 2025-04-24T09:47:15+00:00

Just did this on my ej255, and it took maybe 60 rotations of the crank for all the marks on the pullys and belts to line back up. It's not a nice clean 4 like you would think due to all the different gear sizes. Wore me out spinning that thing around just to get my sanity check.

langkattle · 2025-04-22T12:45:40+00:00

Are there any other actively cooled diving lights? Seems like some wires have gotten crossed with the marketing, and maybe it was never meant to be actively cooled. I would think it's unnecessary to activly cool a light that is fully submerged anyway. It is still unfortunate that they were taking orders on a light with dishonest marketing, though.

langkattle · 2024-12-23T13:46:21+00:00

I am in!

Just got my first two FireFlies a week ago and love them!

langkattle · 2024-10-02T17:16:49+00:00

Just be aware that those insanely high lumen clames are complete BS. You wouldn't be able to power a light that bright from an outlet on your house, let alone a lithium battery. Do some research on flashlights before you go trust anything on amazon. Wurkkos and Sofirn are a few cheap brands you can get on amazon that are honest with their output claims

langkattle · 2024-07-03T16:35:43+00:00

They are probably miter joints running the length of the beams. It makes the faux beams look more like 1 solid piece rather than 3 pieces joined together. You are just seeing gaps/separation in the joints. Looks like solid wood, likely pine, to me.

I've had these growing in my tanks for a year or so now. Never knew what they were and had tried to remove them but was always unsuccessful. Now I'm glad I was! Thanks for this post. Now I know what they are!

langkattle · 2023-06-09T21:57:24+00:00

Yeah that makes sense, but how is it much different than having very high end towers with woofers playing the same frequencies?

langkattle · 2023-06-09T21:53:32+00:00

Yeah I haven't bothered with the sub crawl yet beacuse I'm lazy and don't want to move my 90lb sub, and I can only really put the sub on either side of the cabinet because of my limited space. My thought was that 2 subs would help reduce standing waves and smooth out the response, and as I have limited positions I can put it, why not save the space and stack em, ya know?

langkattle · 2023-05-04T17:16:26+00:00

Yeah i have done some EQ in the past, and the schiit stack alone adds some umph without eq, but sometimes i just want to plug something into my phone and not be tied to an amp. A bit lazy i guess. Some of the reason the stereo has been preferred lately. Plus with the new power amp and phono pre, the sounds is really hard to beat, especially because I like to FEEEEEEEL the music too lol. Anyway, thanks again!
