I sort of lost track of things during the site outage but a C8 in some flavor is probably in my future. I did order a Convoy S2+ from AliExpress. Just a 4× for my “idjit” light. Will probably by a 6x or maybe a couple more next time there’s a good sale.
Not sure I’d want to hand the Zanflare F1 to an Idjit. The tailcap switch is very easy to miss. Result is the Idjit just presses the side switch and wonders why nothing is happening.
I think the ideal 18650 light for Idjits should have the following features:
Idiot-proof UI - UI should be extremely simple.
Low output - if the light only goes to 500 lumens or so there’s a lot less risk the light will overheat and blow up, or burn a hole in something.
Speaking of idjits and F1s, I made the mistake of getting 2 more F1s. Flash price was 20bux… for whatever reason I thought it was 10bux each or 20bux total. Talk about idjit…
Anyway, ordered 2 of the same, whatever they were supposta be, whether both CW or both NW.
Zanflare F1 is very good light. It is very simple UI actually. One tail switch to turn it on, another side switch to set mode. Those single switch lights are more complex if you think of it this way.
That happened to me a couple times with the F1! Click the side switch, nothing… screw and unscrew everything… nothing… until i remember there are two switches!
I’ve no recollection of having lost part of my brain though… i guess that’s the idea behind the procedure? lol
Biscotti has a mode group with the maximum output limited to 50%, so you could get an 8 chip model for maximum output when you’re using it, but limit it to the equivalent of a 4 chip model when you lend it to someone.
If you order directly from Simon on AliExpress you can get Biscotti on any S2+, just make a note when you place the order.
Just like a supervillain from an alternate universe, wanting to create a weapon capable of tearing holes in spacetime and destroying our universe! :smiling_imp:
Ok, but how about one that doesn’t require a near infinite amount of money and power? You still get to use some sharp stabby things for those occasions when the urge arises.
