1x18650 you would hand to an idjit...

Wellp, there’s “idjit” and there’s “lobotomised”…

Then what about that all-white Xioumi light? Think it’s all of 500lm, simple UI.

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.

One’s CW and one’s NW. :person_facepalming:

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.

Ah, here ya go…

All of 240lm. :smiley:

It’s basically a battery-bank with a flashlight head stuck on.

You could give it to someone who’s been pithed and he’ll still be able to work it.

I like the fenix E21 one of my favorite lights

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 :smiley:

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.

Incoming cheap joke:

Oooh! Sorry if this is no O:) 18650 flashlight. But… it's perfect for an idjit. :-D

Cheers ^:)

Now I’m hungry…

Barbecue! :-D

Cheers ^:)

Mk. 1 phaser or light saber, depending on your preference. :smiley:

Well, with that, you can get some nice char-marks / grill-marks on a steak…

I still wanna make a PSP (point-singularity projector). Shoot little black holes at things…

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:

Hey, everybody needs a hobby…

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. :wink:

Nah. Only if I can make an EM-lash…

Nitecore HC30
Much smaller and lighter than most other options mentioned (particularly the A6,S1,S2+)
5 well spaced modes, starting at 1 lumen.
Great throw/flood combo.
1000 lumens max, well sustained, never gets too hot.
NW option.
Great headband - can be used as headlamp or not.
Mine have been used extensively without a problem.
$35 with coupon

Thanks for the suggestion. I did end up ordering a headlamp, but went with the Skilhunt H03 on impulse without doing much research. Hopefully it does what I want, but if not I’ll be looking at the HC30.

I got the desert tan S2+ with biscotti and the 4c tint. Like it a lot. The firmware seems easy enough to figure out. All I really wanted to do was turn off mode memory and I got it on the first try. I don’t need the blinky/strobe modes and may still switch to another group, but since it starts on the lowest mode and resets with a long click they’re pretty easy to avoid.

Already thinking about another S2+ in another color with some different options. Good to know that Simon is willing to help with special orders. :+1:

I have to say though, as far as the original purpose of this thread I was able to also grab the Sofirn SP31 package on sale and it seems like a really solid option to hand to an idjit. :smiley:
