It’s a first draft. I was mostly wondering whether people think the categories make sense, whether anything seems to be missing or extra, whether any items are in the wrong place, etc.
As is, there is probably too much detail to put things into an image. And I’m not sure things are really in the right places.
In particular, I was really tempted to make “Flashlight phone app” its own category… either above Muggle or perhaps way down at the bottom as “Ascended”.
I jumped from Enthusiast to Irredeemable by buying a cheap soldering station with hot air.
ADDED:
No, actually my first flashlight was Creepy. Because it used 10440.
I would add that westerners who use Taobao are Creepy.
Also I find 21700 not more weird than 14500. Actually I bought my first 26350 and 10250 before 14500, is that unusual?
We all are unique snowflakes (i machined my own FL and assembled it with a hand wired driver before i even got a 100lm) but the Tier settings are very good as is imho.
18650 ships with many of the “enthusiast” brands’ onboard-charging products, so I think it goes there. Acebeam bundles 21700s with several of their lights, so again, they probably go in the same category.
Where does writing a phone app for testing flashlights go?
It seems that Irredeemable or Fallen both feature very significant investments in the flashlight hobbies, either with time or with money.
But buying a light with battery X doesn’t fit the pattern, unless that light is a one-off custom.
