I learned the lesson with the Thrunite Ti5… when I wanted to buy the Ti5 it was not produced and sold anymore… (missed it by 4 weeks, huge regrets, luckily I got one a few months later)
Same with the Thrunite T10S/T10T… wanted a Ti version… discontinued… happy I bought the aluminium T10 version as backup at least when they released the T10V2… felt like an idiot first for buying a light I won’t carry right away, but a few days later I was happy I did it. There’s nothing quite like these on the market anymore.
I bought 4 Sofirn C01 yesterday for the same reason… :person_facepalming:
as an excuse… I got family, so I expect they will “borrow” my lights and use and lose them, so I better have multiples of the nice ones.
The D4 in 18350 form factor is pretty amazing. I wear hoodies in the morning in lieu of turning up the heat pump, until my wife wakes up a few hours later. I have 7 of them in different weights/warmth and in the pocket of each is either a AAA copper Tool or a brass Ultratac K18 plus one ToolTi. I am thinking that the D4 is not that much bigger in a pocket like that. In addition it has a much lower low than any of my AAA’s since I use only 10440’s in all butt the ToolTi. And the high end is not even comparable.
HMMmmm! Can I justify my heating savings enuff to cover a few more D4’s?
