My scratch made Ti/Cu 18500 Quad with Samsung LH351D 80 CRI 5000K emitters, probably the most fun because it’s the one I always have on me… it impresses a lot of folks and is ultra useful…
I do have to say though, I’m really enjoying playing with the newest monster creation, the Q8 458 Ham’r.
Sunwayman F30r…
It’s Role Player/problem solver.
(Selfbuilt explained it well in his review)
Shorter than a D4 (unless you use the excellent diffuser for lantern use.)
Throws extremely well with a smooth & deep reflector, which does a great job of controlling XML-2 tint shift, making it look much like HiCri.
I like pretty colors, especially actinic, the blue is a great bedroom light.
My F40a has a better sub-lumen, but is heavier, and unavailable.
My most fun torch is definitely the Convoy M1. It’s 7A warm white, so it pleases the little retro buff in my brain; the “P60 host” format tickles the retro’s mall ninja neighbor just the right way; and finally, it has Biscotti, so I can fiddle with all the mode groups and find different applications based on how each one works – perfect when boredom strikes in and you’re sick and tired of looking at a screen for entertainment.
This reminds me of the pictures someone on BLF posted several years ago. He used a UV light to light up his backyard and 100 scorpions lit up in the picture.
He then went around with some thick gloves and put them all into a bucket.
The new Osram “white flat” adds a lot of fun in flashlights that I used to call “throwers”… NOW they throw !

(okay, this one is a black flat…) M3XS :
You get it, throwers are my new passion ! The aspherics are true lightsaber, and now that night is there as early as 5pm I have plenty of time (and excuses) to play with them ! Oh, sorry I have to check the chicken, better take a few lights with me
Lucky you, X3, in this half of the egg it’s taking until well past 7 for the sun to be gone completely. With my current work routine, that doesn’t leave me with even 2 hours before I have to settle in bed. The slight flipside of it taking longer for sunrise is negated by my mega agitated pre-job morning schedule
As such, I request more lightsaber photos to live vicariously through this cursed summer! Pretty please
