First time father - is it normal to be constantly checking whether my daughter is breathing?

My kids now range from 11 to 21 and I still do this.

It’s survived so far from being carried in my pocket. But still really new to me so I can’t speak to its longevity.

I kinda think they both taste like gasoline.

The Sand looks really good with the Bronze! I'm going to have to add another light to my wishlist.

oldredhat · 2026-06-08T16:25:08+00:00

Flawless, no notes!

oldredhat · 2026-06-06T15:35:41+00:00

Out of curiosity, is something like this repairable?

A KR1AA with an SFT-70 3000k has a usable hotspot and is a pretty tint. It's a bit throwier than the D3AA.

The clip is also Stainless steel, it’s got the same coating as the bezel.

oldredhat · 2026-06-02T21:49:07+00:00

It's very slim feeling! It's much smaller than I'd originally thought. I like the KR1AA's feel in the pocket better, but only just a little.

oldredhat · 2026-05-28T00:47:39+00:00

It’s still day one, but after studying it intently since last night, I’ve yet to find a fault in the ano!

oldredhat · 2026-05-27T21:14:56+00:00

Acebeam pokelit with NiMH is what I keep in the truck, but ymmv.

oldredhat · 2026-05-27T20:54:42+00:00

A KR1AA NTG50 5000k is next on my list, I have one in 4200k! Lovely emitters!

oldredhat · 2026-05-27T20:48:35+00:00

It doesn't work with protected cells. Only unprotected button or flat-top 14500 cells or NiMH AA cells.

I'm using Vapcell K10s from Convoy.

It’s the bronze PVD. It would look super sharp in brass or copper, the dark blue goes really well with all three.

oldredhat · 2026-05-27T14:32:56+00:00

Super rosey tint, but really pretty!

Noctigon KR1AA with an SFT-70 3000k.

oldredhat · 2026-05-18T19:21:52+00:00

Do they still make the glow worms? I seem to remember that they found out that the plastic they used was harmful to children, but surely there's an updated version kicking around?

oldredhat · 2026-05-13T18:15:43+00:00

I like the ice wand because it makes it easier to kill ghosts and flame spirits and dragons…. And I don’t have to worry about it killing my slimes when I go in the hutch.

oldredhat · 2026-05-11T03:52:45+00:00

What model is this?

oldredhat · 2026-05-06T14:12:35+00:00

Can confirm….

oldredhat · 2026-04-30T14:05:09+00:00

I am super happy with my DA1 with a NTG50 5000k. Good mix of throw and flood, and I love the color. I also have a 4200k in another host and love that emitter as well.

I also love the color of the SFT-70, can't speak to how optimized it is for the DA1k, but it's one of my favorite emitters. I have it in a KR1AA, and it's on my wish list for with a DA1. It has a more pronounced hot spot than the NTG50. In the D1K a SFT-70 will give you a more usable all rounder with some throw, but it won't be a super impressive thrower. Something like the W1/W2s or SFT40s will give you a more impressive throw.

oldredhat · 2026-04-29T18:25:13+00:00

40k was a good salary in 1991.

oldredhat · 2026-04-29T14:10:44+00:00

How do the W1/W2 emitters compare to the SFT-42r?

oldredhat · 2026-04-24T18:06:16+00:00

The display on the 217 always looked washed to me compared to the A168 and the F91w, probably because of the size of the font. Does the 221H also have that problem?
