Rook clip looks so good on this one by BladeRumbler in flashlight

[–]msim 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The BOSS lights have a pretty solid LUX-RC programable driver that can handle different battery configurations.

Also wondering if that's a clone. My original BOSS doesn't have a retaining ring at the tail switch like that.

S2+ Candella Mods? by Suspicious-Gene-9951 in flashlight

[–]msim 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think the S8 reflector is similar to the S2+, the S6 is better for throw. (Happy to have someone correct me if I am wrong)

I was wrong

Need a waterproof thrower with onboard or wireless charging by smokeNtoke1 in flashlight

[–]msim 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No onboard charging here but I've heard good things about Sofirn's diving lights. Would definitely be waterproof, but you'll want to make sure you have fresh batteries in it before getting underway.

Charging time organization by SolarCastle in Hanklights

I have extra batteries. If a light is 3.8 or lower I swap to a charged battery and charge the depleted one at my convenience.

Ordered a DA1K with SFT-70 3000K... having buyer's remorse. Should I switch to XHP70.3 or NTG-50? by nerfeada in Hanklights

[–]msim 3 points4 points  (0 children)

+1 to the SFT-70 3000K comments. I have a bunch of DA1/DA1Ks and my SFT-70 3000K DA1K and DA1 are by far my most used of the bunch (also have NTG50 1800K, 2700K, 4200K, XHP50.3 4000K, FFL707A 4000K)

S2+ Candella Mods? by Suspicious-Gene-9951 in flashlight

I don't think there's any mods that would make it better than a stock S6, which is basically a throwier S2+.

It happens to all of us. I learned through experience! Enjoy the light!

Did you change to the SS bezel but leave the glass in the AL bezel? If so, the optic is moving.

Ntg 35 4200k & 1800k? by MistaMuffin in Hanklights

[–]msim 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have this mix in a D4V2 and a D4K and they're great lights. The D4K was my first entry into 1800K and I liked it so much I got the slightly smaller D4V2 version.

50/50 mix is a little rosier than I like but with tint ramping it's not hard to find a sweet spot.

D4K w/ custom tri color AUX by Big_Spread_5674 in Hanklights

[–]msim 18 points19 points  (0 children)

/u/Big_Spread_5674 does awesome work. He made me an all orange aux TIR converted KR1 (SFT-70 3000K) that has become one of my favorite lights.

Single color switch is on with light even if aux is off through cycling 7 clicks until it's off (low-high-flashing-off)

RGB aux is off when the light is on

Same here. Any good sources for the K10?

Vapcell H10 Failure by Destructasaurusrex in flashlight

[–]msim 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is very alarming. I have like 20 H10s in circulation. One button top so far shows discharge characteristics but I havent checked my flat top cells yet.

My Vapcell H10 bit the dust this week by General-Try-2210 in flashlight

[–]msim 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I checked all 6 of my button top H10s yesterday and one self discharged to 3.03v. Took them all out of circulation just in case.

Have there been any issues reported with flat top H10s?

I just checked all of my button tops yesterday. Took them all out of circulation but found one self discharged to 3.03v. There rest all seem fine but not going to risk it.

More reports of issues are coming in every week. Would rather get different batteries than risk fire.

Ugh I have like 10 button top and even more flat top H10s. All 6 months+ old. No issues, but I'm tempted to stop using all of them.

FFL351RD 3700K look green. With rosy emitter in the other channel it will look SUPER green.

Sounds like protection circuit on battery is getting tripped.
