Aluminium is the ultimate metal for flashlights, very lightweight, great heat conductance, good heat capacity, does not easily rot away, it is pretty tough, and has an option for a great durable coating (anodising).
One major disadvantage: it costs next to nothing so people do not trust that it is that good.
I voted for aluminium! Above there are almost all the reasons why I would chose it so I wonāt go on them again
Iām curious about the shape of it seeing that it will have 2 XPL Leds :nerd_face:
Djozz is correct (as usual ), Aluminum is hard to beat. It has the least amount of trade-offs and downsides of any metal. Cheap, strong, great with heat, easy to anodize, looks nice, etc. But from a less logical standpoint I really like raw metals better. Copper, titanium, brass, etc.
Hum, if I can give you a suggestion, create an account on imgur.com, and from there you can upload your pictures! Or you can use another image host service. I use imgur and so far Iāve been ok with it!
1 - go to āimagesā on your account menu
2 - select the āsizeā you want to give to your photos when uploading them to your account (bigger means heavier, heavier means more difficulty to open the threads). 800x600 is a nice setting to upload photos here
3 - select the photos you want to upload from your computer/cellphone folders
4 - after uploading the photos, select the ādirect linkā
5 - on the BLF message toolbar, on the icon for images, use the direct link, and then you can resize the images to occupy more or less space in the page
Click on the photos to see them on full screen! Iāve resized them to 45%
I hope this helps andā¦I hope to āsee the lightā youāve been talking us about On topic again :arrow_right:
Nice ! This light must have a ādecentā UI and also a ādecentā price so I can grab one for me
I like the the way how the leds are!
One of them (left) is more Warm White and the other Neutral / Cool White? The pictures seem to show thatā¦
More details will be appreciated when available, please
I too prefer the look of the right one, but Iām with Trevi_lux, the skull is not a think Iād like on the flashlight! The āstonewashedā look, yes, not the skull! Even if it had LEDs in the eyes, I would say that it makes the flashlight a bit ābulkyā!
But Iām liking this ideaā¦just donāt know if Iāll like the price when it comes out :person_facepalming: :money_mouth_face:
