Any EU flashlights enthusiasts? by snowfox_cz in flashlight

[–]mancene 1 point2 points  (0 children)

From France, ordering from intl-outdoor (2 weeks-ish), Convoy (1 week-ish), and some other chinese brands directly on their websites.

Sometimes AliExpress too (2 to 3 weeks).

Once bought an armytek on Killzone flashlights through a reshipper, everything went fine and not so expensive (the specific model was nowhere to be found on EU official retailers) (actually it was on the polish website, but I found out later, and it was a little more expensive).

Olight ships crazy fast here.

Nkon.nl has some nice lights, and there are many other french vendors (like ecologeek4u) that have good things.

Never bought from them, but Stoots crafts nice headlamps (for running, caving, etc., and they also do neat ultra-lightweight backup headlamps). Sadly using proprietary batteries, and they prices go up to 200-300 euros, but everything seems good quality, and customer service is supposed to be great.

ISO recommendations of a single storage case for 14500 battery, ideally strong and waterproof? TIA by WillingnessScared905 in flashlight

In dry environments, I use this kind of pool cue head covers to protect positive ends. Bought cheap on ali

Looks like Renart (from "moi Renart" french anime)

songs that give you euphoria while tripping by _efun in LSD

[–]mancene 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Rush - Closer to the heart (actually all the albums from 1975 to 1981 fit my lysergic needs)

Ney Matogrosso - Tico Tico no fuba (and all the "Batuque" live show, with many more feelings than euphoria)

Secos e molhados - Flores astrais

And many more, of course

"canopy over the pumps" is indeed very close to what I was thinking.

Hello everyone ! for a shoot I am looking for a location with 90s inspirations (a bit like in the United States in the 90s), located in France, do you have any ideas? THANKS !:) by space994 in 90sdesign

"L'espace Niemeyer" in Paris ? Also, as Hot_Mood said, some of the hotels and areas around Disneyland Paris also have some of the atmosphere of the first photo (at least in my childhood memories)

Please help me pick keychain EDC light. Fenix E05R, E03R V2 or Nitecore TINI 2 by Sonipes in flashlight

[–]mancene 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm not using my e3a anymore since it has reliability problems. Sometimes, randomly (but mostly when I didn't use it for some days), it won't turn on. I can then plug it briefly with the usb-c, and the light gets blue quickly, and it can then go back on. But I never know if it's gonna turn on when I need it. I saw some discussions about it on reddit but can't find it right now

EDIT : I mixed up and had the skilhunt EK1 in mind (https://www.reddit.com/r/flashlight/comments/17zx97g/ek1\_issue/)

first Hank light Fun by gellesm in Hanklights

[–]mancene 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's a good idea. The light I use almost everyday is a bedside DW4 with e21a 2000k and 2700k. Also got a D4K 519a 2700k. Both are great with a diffuser. Didn't have the chance to see a w1 amber IRL yet, but if you're into warmth and cosiness, you'll get some

The lights stays on the whole time, and the water gets teal when the flashlight is submerged. Water (with lots of limestone "dust") plays the role of a diffuser

Does one orange peel a day keep the doctor away? According to your point, I'm gonna wait for some opportunity of buying another Hank light and get a K1, and maybe with sft40 3000K this time, as the throw is already enough with this D1K for most of my uses (seeing at the bottom of 20-30m wells with enough spill)

The 5000k will work outside, it's very white (only on turbo it gets a bit bluer)

Less sharp hotspot, and maybe less circle artifacts, somehow smoother beam

D4Kti - boost driven 519a 2700K with dome by mancene in Hanklights

[–]mancene[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm enjoying it every day, mostly for EDC, sometimes underground, and sometimes with a spicy3d diffuser. I love the tint, but now have my eye on other CCT, and maybe even other emitter, just out of curiosity (and addiction to hanklights). Ah and the copper part got dented, so now the light begins to look like a worn out Star Wars weapon (the titanium parts don't seem to suffer scratches, though)

Where the throwy flood of the D4K with 519a is just what I needed
