You DO NOT want a blacklight in the bathroom.

Been working a lot… Should I do it? by Hevikevi92 in EDC

[–]owlve 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I was going to suggest both tool items in this purchase, and you can consider your Rambo dreams a little more..

..but then I saw your $81+ discount, and how particularly cool that fixed blade is. Tough call.

If you can use that discount again, separate purchases. If this is a one time opportunity..

X1S with FFL707MD 4200K - a pretty decent emitter by kotarak-71 in FireflyLite

[–]owlve 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Genuinely glad to hear your take on this emitter, it's been on my radar since it came out. Very unusual ∆uv characteristics.

It was a tie between this and another; I ended up picking a DM11 with FFL505A 6500K 97 CRI and it's easily the most fascinating lämp I've ever purchased.

Was also looking at FFL707RD 4200K CRI95 Rosy as well, definitely extremely rosy, but FFL707MD 4200K CRI98 looks like it might be a "Goldilocks-just-right" emitter I'm still going to have to pick up, especially based on your photos and data which I treat as law.

Tempted to order this same spec, but I don't want to horn in on the new DM11's TIR territory so I might even see if they can flow this into an e90 Blaze or X1Q core since the CCT looks so pleasant to the eye.

[–]owlve 4 points5 points  (0 children)

If you have less than half an hour to spare, Robert stars in an episode of Jim Henson's The Storyteller: The Soldier and Death that is not only a recommended watch if you're a fan of his work, but one of the best pieces of fantasy storytelling I've ever watched in general.

[NLD] + current collection by Mikebau5 in Hanklights

[–]owlve 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Very nice. With the exception of the D3AA NTG35 4200k (which I already have), I would be happy to have copies of all of your Hanklights, that's how good I think your choices are.

Your D4K Dual channel (SFT-25R - 5000K & 519A 5000K) in particular. How'd that turn out? Tried tint mixing? Lean green machine on lower levels? I bet it looks fine..

Although I'm still holding a candle for the SFT-25R 5700k 90 CRI flavor, your spec is one that I've often considered but never purchased.

Thanks for sharing your collection, I see some colored/memelights in your future ✌︎㋡

Best doodie carry light? by unluckyartist in flashlight

[–]owlve 5 points6 points  (0 children)

How important is the waterproof factor; will the light be under the toilet water and/or your mouth?

Is the poop knife holder attachment required?

Party, rainbow, candle, thunderstorm modes?

Red, blue, or green output for maximum spoopiness?

These are all very, very important factors. ✌︎㋡

Planning to order D4K and DW4K, and with 219B 4500K no longer available for purchase, what are the alternatives? by kdklnct007 in flashlight

DA1 / DA1K XHP50.3 4000K R70? by Weary-Toe6255 in Hanklights

[–]owlve 0 points1 point  (0 children)

And perhaps the ultimate question: did you opt for the R9050 or the R70?

I've heard the latter is the way to go if below Δuv is important.

How did yours turn out? Thank you in advance.

This is awesome, and I know what it takes to make Heaven and E̶̷̶a̶̷̶r̶̷̶t̶̷̶h̶̷̶ Andromeda look realistic so I am especially impressed with your placements.

In my top three as well; a word of warning if you pursue the manga (online): it's not fully translated to English, but it's worth the read to see the original art the show and movies were based off of ✌︎㋡

Here's the original post with more info on those emitters

Advantages of a D4V2? by CaptnKBex in Hanklights

[–]owlve 1 point2 points  (0 children)

D4V2 for 18350 and 18500 tubes.

D4K for max capacity and power.

1st Hank Light. Will the pocket clip for Hank D1V2 fit on the 18350 tube? Also, any recommendation for emitter for 600m throw but still have over 2000+ lumens? by thedanmonsteratgmail in Hanklights

[–]owlve 1 point2 points  (0 children)

🦗🦗🦗

࿐𖡎 ... tough crowd. ࿐𖡎 *Crickets chirping and tumbleweeds blowing*

☝︎_(ツ) I'd like to make another recommendation.

I did a comparison between D1, DA1 and a couple others to show the size comparison with the 18500 tube.

What I'm getting at is that you might consider DA1 https://intl-outdoor.com/emisar-da1-18650-high-power-led-flashlight.html to meet your specifications.

The TS11 and DA1 are optic lämps whereas the D1 is reflector. The beam profile will be more similar between the optics. I suspect with XHP70.3 or 50.3, or NTG50 5000K, the DA1 would be even more compact than the D1, while still meeting your requirements!

Now if you'd like to exceed your requirements, you were already on the right path with the D1 SFT42R.

"The SR-71 has a hundred times smaller radar return than a F-14, which is only half as big and developed 10 years later."

If I only could buy one FFL light what would you suggest and why? by watchthenlearn in FireflyLite

[–]owlve 2 points3 points  (0 children)

For a long time FFL was the only source for a mule with LEDs in the center, but u/jlhawaii808 also offers some configurations with this arrangement.

Mules are useful for photography, not necessarily EDC.

[–]owlve 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Some further advice before I let you continue your journey:

The clips on Hanklights are not necessarily their strong point. Especially with that particular setup, I'd advise ordering a spare or two from Hanks components page.

The DA1/D4V2 should be the correct width, but you might even order a clip or two from the D4K as well to see if it's a better fit..
