Hello from Sweden

Hi all
I have been getting into the flashlight hobby lately and what better place to learn than here. I have a couple of small lights (Olight S1R II and Nitecore Tube) and I just ordered a Thrunite TC20 for a bag carry light. I’ve been reading some recommendations online and there seems to be that Lumintop and Emissars are the lights to get. I am a little hesistant to buy as they seem to require unprotected cells and I don’t know if I would risk it “as a noob”

Anyway, I’m here to learn!

Welcome to BLF!
Sweden is such a beautiful nation, I have been many times and it is a great location for flashlights as a hobby!

It's a pleasure to have you onboard, MagnaWolf!

And it sounds like you've been doing your homework.

Well, we certainly get our fair share of darkness per year, that’s for sure :slight_smile:

Welcome!

Welcome to BLF MagnaWolf! Unprotected batteries are safe in flashlights that have low voltage protection and temperature regulation.

Welcome to BLF MagnaWolf :smiley: You came to the right place to learn about flashlights and cells. Enjoy :beer:

Hello :slight_smile:

Thanks for being alive, MagnaWolf!

For the record, I’ve tested the hell out of an unprotected Sony VTC6 and Samsung 30q in an Emisar D4V2 and they only get a little warm.

What I mean is, I’ve repeatedly used turbo until it’s painful to touch the copper head, yet the battery is only a bit warm when removed.

I think you needn’t worry.

I was thinking more about what cells and chargers to get, how to use them safely, those type of things.

My wallet are getting some exercise right now. I have a Wurkkos FC11 and a RovyVon A8U on the way as well.

welcome :person_with_crown:

Indeed a beautiful country and those girls :heart_eyes:

@MagnaWolf
If you happen to live anywhere near Stockholm I will gladly show you some Emisars and Noctigons or the FT03. I also have a Zebralight.
