OK!
Now get the PRO version.

What can a lantern (LR50) do that a headlamp can't?
So better to use headlamp no?

As powerbank, as charger (leech from another friends/hikers actual powerbank:lol:) and as lantern. Currently using NiteCore HC30 as headlamp & Fenix PD32 as lantern (with cloth type lantern attachment from NatureHike)


To illuminate camping area. Having headlamp on my head the entire night when camping kinda annoying though. Headlamp is good when you have task to focus on or when you need to go far away from campsite to shit etc but for general lounging at camp, lantern is the better option.

Thanks for the recommendation. Actually when bro @Everdying reco :thrunite TT10, it got me thinking into having a unit with external battery.

I like TIP2, compact and not so expensive.
TUP, is slightly expensive but something nicer to have. But I am wondering if it is really suitable on cap, looks big.

So I have set myself a budget of RM200 to find a replacement for my TIP.
- Must be able to clip on cap.
- Mid mode around 50 lumen.
- Distance of 50m is more than enough.

I'm probably replying a question that has been answered but I'm no fan of headlight on other people despite how useful it is.
Those people just don't realize they're blinding me when they try to see me. Especially when they own any 1000lm headlamps and run them 100% all the time killing battery

Lantern for them newbies to hang around is more pleasant to the eyes rather than having a high beam fest
Or in my case just use torchlight with diffuser

Maybe camping veterans will be more disciplined. Technicians like me just gets blinded all the time

Yeah, slightly bigger than the TIP for sure.

Comparison.

Ahhh.... to illuminate camping area.
I thought you wanted it inside your tent.


+1.
Happens to all camping kaki when the person you're talking to doesn't shield their headlamp.


But if amoi below shine in my eyes, I don't mind...

headlights are invaluable during spelunking but yeah, i'm with you about getting blinded whenever someone faces u. most times it's just a matter of correctly angling the beam (like how some cars blind oncoming traffic!). it's not so much a problem when you're out in the wild compared to being in a confined space (as i believe technicians do tend to focus their beams much closer). personally i'd go with a mini clip-on for versatility. and yes, there will always be a 'spare' by your side.

on paper, the tip2 would be the most versatile clip on... 730l @ 38.3g. but practically, i won't recommend the tip2, its clip being its archilles heel. the tup, with better output (1000l) and runtime (3h @ 200l vs tip2's 1.25h @ 200l) isn't a better option as a clip-on either not only coz of its bulk, but its weight weighs down your cap quite substantially (@ 53.2g).

the tip still comes up tops, me thinks. and i wish olight came out with a spectacle clip for their i1r. that would be a technician's dream, eh power911?

amoi shine in your eyes you cannot see anything liao. even worse, she kasi strobe

This amoi can...

Pulled the plug & clicked on the Shopee purchase button yesterday for LR50 + 4 pcs KeepPower 18650.

this one no amoi... but brighter turbo/strobe and longer runtime also:

4 pcs 18650? wow... you plan on going off the grid for sometime with those spares?

if all you need is a reliable, long runtime lantern, the coleman batterylock 400 has pretty good stamina running on easily available 4x d-cells. but yeah, the lr50 has portability and powerbank features that's hard to beat

WikiLOC apps using phone GPS eating power like crazy even on airplane mode. Phone battery capacity 4000mah. Each battery is 3400mah

get a flexible 10000mah powerbank, flexible usb cable... and stick a tini in

If cute amoi she be way too dazzling for my eyes d. GG can't even look. Too shy

SOMEONE PLEASE MAKE i1r AND TOOL AAA CLIPS NOW
3D PRINTERS BEEN OUT SO LONG YET NO ADVANCEMENTS TO THESE NEEDS

i thought tool AAA already has a clip.

my i1r battery dieded just a little past warranty...zzz.

wait what was I thinking
I thought you actually meant clips for spectacle as in glasses ahhahahahah
Cuz that would be cool too as I wouldn't mind a lil weight

Nice one!

The ony reason why I was reluctant to buy is the proprietary battery issue.

+1.
Both Tool AAA and AA (+2.0) has detachable clips but it's not strong.


Some owner mod the clip like this with is more sturdy.
