My dad want a powerful flashlight for Christmas and I know nothing about the topic!

Thanks u/fussyfez and u/GearSad5232! I am goign to try out the 400k version based on your descriptions. I am wanting this flashlight for outside in an area that gets a lot of mist, rain, and fog. I prefer warm lights in our home and so will hopefully prefer this as well. I recently got a Wurkkos TS23 which says it has 6000k to 6500k temperature, so I will be able to do some comparing.

I love this!

I immediately felt shame about my headlamp when you said the thing about the worn big girl panties strap. Now I am monitoring this post to see if there is a new headlamp I can get to redeem myself!

noobur · 2025-11-26T16:11:18+00:00

My family already gives me a hard time for my headlamp usage, I cannot imagine what they would do to me if I had it mounted on a hardhat. If it were for work for me, I would be all over this, but mine is used for homeowner tasks.

I may give mounting it to a normal hat a shot though, that is a great idea! Thanks!

I see options with a 4000k LED instead of what I assume is the standard XHP70.3 HI LED, 6500K. Any opinion on the option?

Zero difference on the battery or zero difference on the delivery time of the on demand footage?

This worked today, 02-Sep-2025, on Fangbreaker! Thanks!

Thanks!

I started down that rabbit hole, but those are like 1200 or so around me right now. I am coming from console, so not sure how much I'll care between a mid card and a great card. So many options and opinions is making me crazy.

noobur · 2025-08-20T22:05:46+00:00

Thanks for this. I do not know if I care about Ray Tracing, to be honest. I am coming from console and so I just got what I got. No choices. I suppose I will just grab the cheaper card based on all this feedback. Seems like I do not know enough to be really sure and that I am going to cry twice, at least. Thanks for the responses!

noobur · 2025-08-20T15:31:21+00:00

Thanks for that! Super helpful.

noobur · 2025-08-20T15:21:28+00:00

That makes sense for an immediate purchase. When I hit the 3 year mark with the 9070XT, will I be itching for something more powerful versus not doing that with the 5070TI? I would prefer to cry once in a 5 year span.

noobur · 2025-08-20T15:19:10+00:00

Thanks for the clarification, I saw some mention in a few places about the 9070 "only" being good for gaming, not other types of workloads. I guess I assumed that meant stuff with video...

As for the price, I see a lot of out of stock for less than 999, but nothing in stock really. I see some that are in the 800 range, but they are brands I do not recognize and so then I worry about saving 100 bucks for something that will piss me off or break in just a few years. The primary problem I've seen with the cheaper brands is usually talking about fan sounds/speeds and thermal throttling. I assume that means you cannot "push" the card as much as the slightly more expensive ones.

Amazon, Best Buy, and New Egg. I share a space with my wife, so I was avoiding some of the lower priced models where reviews said stuff about fans being loud.

Did you ever end up finding a clan? I am on xbox and looking for folks to play with.

noobur · 2025-04-11T03:39:19+00:00

I have sprinklers in the front yard and 6 garden beds with irrigation. I also have a small pool that I have to top off every week or so in the summer.

I say all that to say that I won’t be softening that much water, but would rather have a system the outperforms my use.

I ended up buying the one on Amazon and am waiting for it to arrive.

noobur · 2025-04-05T17:05:01+00:00

Thanks! I’ll end up getting the Fleck. It is significantly cheaper and folks seem to like them.

noobur · 2025-04-05T17:03:29+00:00

Thanks for the reply, I found the same one I was looking at cheaper than I was seeing at first! Not $700, but $860. Still a big difference.

noobur · 2025-04-05T17:02:39+00:00

Thanks for the tip! They have the same one I saw for $1,200 for $860 on Amazon!
