well, 200-300m away...even 500m u can still see ppl walking etc...just cannot see their face anymore...or at 500m their arms etc.

nm, if nothing there then i got a new 'pet' to send to kacau others with

ah the nitecore p30... always tempted... just the ui not suitable for indoors unless u want to get blinded.

damn acebeam have gone mad... white laser...
250lumens, very pocketable 1x21700, 1000m...
http://www.acebeam.com/white-laser-w10

they even got the cheek to say "Please note: DO NOT look into the beam", like no shit...

so...i went and bought the manker mk41...
surprisingly it outshines the jetbeam at 200m...even tho they both have similar rated throw at 410m and 390m...so technically at 200m both should throw around the same at the target...hmm...need to go research why
maybe its not exactly linear...and the extra lumens of the mk41 makes a difference still at 200m...

now if jetbeam somehow had the new emitter that the mk41 has...thats gonna rule




nm, figured out the throw issue... the jetbeam inbuilt battery indicator sux... said full.
so i swapped batteries in both, and manker said it was 50%.
so now charging, and will try again at midnight

hmm ok, fully charged... looks like my sanyo harmolattice has issues / the light doesn't like harmolattice or vice versa...puts out slightly lower output than eneloops...
guess I'll replace the eneloop in flashgun with the harmolattice...

ya i played a bit with the u22... just a few things held me back.
no holster, and the 21700 batt isnt easily purchased seperately for now.
also it was around rm60 more than the mk41... also bigger than mk41... and i pity my AA batteries just collecting dust.

the NW is too yellow, plus its not hi-cri...so its gonna tint everything yellow instead of bringing out the true colors.
thats why i went with the CW...its actually more white white than blue white...closer to 5500k than 7000k.

oh, and theres 10% sale going on now...

charger : 1000ma / 750ma.
charging from zero to full : 3.84hrs / 5.12hrs
battery indicator : yes / no.
reversible clip : yes / no.



as to why olight upgraded the emitter, i guess can read this thread - http://budgetlightforum.com/node/54947

weird my post dissapeared...

anyway, that thrunite is too yellow for my tastes...and that manker looks the nicest at somewhere like 5500k...can use to light products

one thing that bugs me about the mankers...
the ring around the button isnt centered...zzz.
the least they could do is make it either smooth, or put more grooves so wont look off center

aligned how? like this?

the u12 is that floody? im assuming that pic is not turbo?

ya, like I said also for me... light up decently at 100m already good enough.
of cos throwers aren't the most practical everyday light... but that's why we have multiple lights... diff ones for diff occasions

ya well, i have 3 different single AA / AAA in diff places for diff usages.
then i have this cheap camping light i leave on a small desk by my keys...in case of blackout.

of cos not... either sanyo eneloops or ikea supposedly eneloops...

i also learnt not to put lights with lithium batts in cars... not so much that they will explode... but heat shortens the life.

well i never said anything about it leaking...just batt life reduced.
thats why like my nitecore tip...was advised not to put in car...so now its a 1xAA light.

hmm nitecore has finally 'fixed' the UI with the new TUP... now long press on power button is direct to low.
now to wait for this to trickle down to a Tip v4 or Tini v2...

never said there was an industry standard...
just in reference to nitecore as some ppl prefer the UI to be a certain way as per older models...hence the revision of it back to what ppl would be more comfortable with.

diff manufacturers obviously have their own way, so some will stick to 1 or 2 brands with a UI that they are familiar / like...but of cos there are also many overlaps to serve what is usually 2 or 3 different segments...
some prefer direct to low, some prefer start on medium, etc etc...so not exactly a multitude of options out there...hence also not a problem for manufacturers to offer a small segment of their products catering to these others.

oh ok.
but what i meant was that diff brands obviously have their own way of doing things...but as long as the UI isnt just one-dimensional then all is good.

anyway, after reading a review of that TUP...they really nailed the UI this time...and finally a proper lockout mode which went missing in 2017/18 from the TIP.
too bad its abit pricey and big, so yea again i'll just wait for that UI to trickle down to the TIP and TINI.

only thing remotely interesting for me was the nitecore tup...but its too big for keychain edc.
