When you dream is:
I want to be alive when LED will have 99% efficiency and 1% heat losses.
When you recognize this flashlight :
Your EDC includes at least 3 flashlights. 
Well, if my phone “flash” light counts… guilty! :person_facepalming:
hmmmmm sets see I have been thinking that my led lenser torch’s are a bit lacking in performance lately
or me eyes (I am just about to hit 52) so went looking for a better light to replace my t5 as a EDC weeeell
holy rocka moly are there some torch’s on the market , and I cant afford to get ripped so I start looking for
reviews and here I am , so I read about the jetbeam 1 MK I now have one then I join here and I read about a
olight s1 and yep got one of them too .
now it’s a week later and I now have 6 more torch’s in the mail so yep I think I have to say hello my name is
deye223 and I have a problem not to mention the li-ion cells I have bought and the charges I need this just like
shooting all the ancillary stuff will cost as much as the main thing and more .
cheers D
You may be diagnosed with Acute Flashaolism Syndrom (AFS) if:
- you feel uncomfortable without at least two or three lights near you
- you buy lights just to store your other flashlights spare cells, and then buy spare cells for those lights…
- your neighbor believes he’s seeing strange lights in the sky some nights
- you own untouched spare lights in their original packaging, just in case
- you wish the grid would go down more often
- you go out at night for no other reason then lighting up
- you look at closeup pictures of naked lights late at night
- you fantasize on a 2k lumen keyring light
- you have tint and bin preference
…
- you are reading this
Oh, boy, I got it bad…
No fantasy anymore (Emisar D4)
Does my flashing get me in financial trouble?
Do I attempt to hide my excessive flashing from my friends and family?
Do I lie to friends about my flashing?
Do I feel the strong need for more and more flashing?
Does my flashing cause me to become isolated from normal society?
Do I need to flash immediately upon waking up?
Do I make up excuses for my excessive flashing?
Does flashing dominate my routine thoughts?
Wow… I have to answer no, no, no, no, no…!
Somehow, this sounds more like someone in a trenchcoat who hangs around a playground. :o
Eep!
Impulse buying bright shiny expensive lights.
NTM has “buff” (naked) right in his handle Hmmmm (mostly kidding)
… well, i was thinking about a AAA, 10180 or coin cell light…
It (the D4 with 18350 tube) is pretty small though, so some dreams do come true.
What is the diameter of the D4? I’d expect that even with a 18350 tube, it might be a bit thick and clunky for key ring use.
But hey, patmurris, it was quite a while back that Dale had his Texas Poker AAA light reaching over 1k+ lumens OTF. With today’s emitters, it might not be long before 2k+ lumens OTF is possible from a build or mod. Especially now that some of the smaller cells are trending upward in both capacity and current handling. If/when that “bump” reaches the 10180, there won’t be anything left to stop us from getting 2k+ in a light the size of a BLF 348!
EDIT: Just now looking at the CREE PCT I think it might already be possible, with a XHP50.2 K4 bin wired at 6V, and a couple 10180, in a AAA-size light. The relatively low Vf compared to 2S Li-ion might push output over 2A, right at the edge of ~2k lumens.
One collateral feature is it will also work as a windproof cigarette lighter!
Copper BLF A01, XHP50.2, 2x10180, no driver?… Would the led fit the head?
Damn those are obvious AFS symptoms! :person_facepalming:
-When you’re arrive home at weekend with a new flashlight and your mother says “another one?”!
-When you carry a backpack just to bring 1 or 2 flashlights when going to the beach…during daylight!
-When the family asks you to order them new flashlights!
-When you have 2 flashlights on your bedside and use them instead of the room lights!
-When you clean (vacuum clean) your house using at least 3 flashlights to see the dust and clean it!
-When you talk so much about flashlights, and you buy them, that…your girlfriend makes a strip for you, in a dark room, just using a flashlight on the lowest mode :partying_face:
- you think about the lights you have in the mail before falling asleep, smiling at the thought that one may show up tomorrow.
I don’t know. But, CRX made a MT-G2 fit into a BLF-348 and put 2x 10180 cells in there, with no driver. 
May i ask what came out of it?
