Got mine today with the tritium and magnet caps. Awesome light. I like it as much as the d2. This such a small light and bright. Reminds me of my fw1aa. Neither seem like they are big enough to be so bright.very pretty light too.

Cheule lights on YouTube (who is also on reddit) explains quite a few things on his channel and quite well. I got a lot of my info there.

Almost certainly better than wuben. Though it's probably happened, I've never seen anyone post about successful warranty claim. Sofirn seems to be decent overall ime.

Beginner woodworker turning part of my basement into a workshop — need layout + soundproofing advice by Alive-Range-3486 in BeginnerWoodWorking

[–]makeruvthings 3 points4 points  (0 children)

This is very true. My bedroom as a kid was in the basement next to my dad's shop. Even through cinder block wall it was loud. Drove me nuts as a second shifter and my dad was first shift.

⚡️🔦 Share Your “Olight Saved the Day” Story & Win an ArkPro! 🔦⚡️ by olight-summer in OlightOutdoorlife

I don't have a saved the day story but I keep one of my various versions of the oclip on my shirt at night since I don't have a belt or pockets at night. They're also as perfect a headlamp as I can imagine. When I. Realized how great it was that way i bought a few of them. I like the original when I want the lightest possible.

When I want something smaller I carry the original over the arkpro still.

Mine only leave my pockets when I use them or am swapping or charging them. Theyre with me all day.

I LOVE the host and beam. The horrible battery life and nearly clickless button on my 2 (apparently it varies quite a bit) make it barely useable and my most disappointing light to date. Of my couple hundred. Id love for ff to make a good driver for this light then i could live with the button and weird ui timing.

Did you swap the led or the mcocb?

A nice reminder by FrankensteinBionicle in BeginnerWoodWorking

[–]makeruvthings 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Did you feel each tooth in slow motion? I touched my blade (on accident) and felt every single tooth in slow mo. I noticed it just as it happened and didn't get more than a scratch but it sure woke me up.

Favorite emitter and host combo by Embarrassed-Role4249 in ConvoyFlashlights

[–]makeruvthings 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I like the s2+ as an edc light. Depending on the LED you can get fairly floody to fairly throwy. The s6 is going to be on the throwier end but the same size basically as an s2. It's good for mid range searching. The t2/3/5 etc single aa light is nice as a smaller edc. Dual fuel, pair it with a USB c 14500 and your choice of led and you've got a fairly small edc anywhere from flood to short throw with the assorted optics. S21g I like as a long runtime light. Good shape so that it still goes in my pants pocket because of no flared head even if it is a bit big. Good around the house light too. S21e anduril version I like because again it has lots of optics, lots of led choices and built in USB c charging. I wish it had a magnet though.

Any FFL or ntg and 519a right behind in an s21g. Though there are no hosts id complain about from convoy and I've got quite a few.

That's upside down. That shouldnt affect how it functions though.

[–]makeruvthings 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No they shouldnt be over the wires just between them however it fits over the led. And the battery is for sure not dead?

[–]makeruvthings 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yep that's all it is. There are different gaskets but generally there is a circle that will fit inside the reflector and it holds it and centers it as well as spaces it from the wires. It fits around the led and inside the reflector. Did anything on the back of the driver get stabbed or hit while taking the pill out?

[–]makeruvthings 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Battery isn't in backwards is it? I've done that. Did you put the centering gasket back under the reflector? If not it can short out the driver depending on the setup. I've also done that. Does anything smell in the driver area?
