$1 Budget Beamer Beaters

Hell yea, looks like I’m due for a Wally trip

This one has ribs. Perhaps more pleasurable? :laughing: 50 lumens too. Maybe the same cat in a different sweater? Cheaper by the dozen if it’s basically the same @.78 each. Plus ya get all the colors.

PS. Can’t get the WM link to work either on the OP flash.

PSS. Ribbed flash unfortunately not available for in-store pick-up. Someone would havta take one for the team. :open_mouth:

i didn’t see any of the Ribbed version in the store, they were the Grooved ones such as seen here:
Groovy

And i see on the websticle that there is an Alum Version:
Aluminimun

Some of the reviewers even posted beaver shots to see the tint

Looks as though they had 6 really nice colors .. yellow /army green /grey /black /dark red /orange

Ozark Trail - LED Mini Flashlight w/3 AAA Batteries - 50 Lumens - YOU PICK | eBay

but have replaced the much better colors with ugly pastel /girly colors ... Lavender /aqua/pink/neon green/baby blue /neon blue.

Has anyone found any of the nicer colors ?

. Someone here said nice tint but online someone's saying bad bluish beam .

"beaver shots"?

If I had to guess, that’s a picture taken with the light flat on the table so you can better see the tint. Just a guess.

Yeah not in stores. Online only. :cry:

Yeah, but do we really need to make up new terms that are so extremely sexual on a family forum?

I mean, BLF is not an adult website.

See, my mind never went there. LOL.

I guess you've never heard of a beaver shot, then.

. Justin Beaver shot

cri i would call usable.
not horrible blue/purple.
a 9 led loaded with the ebay high cri 5mm puts it to shame.
it does have a spot beam that is more useful at distance.

i thought i had posted this light a while back.

not the same light.
the ot-50l has a removable head.

Ok. Good to know. :+1:

“Beaver shot”? Well, I asked The Beaver, and he said…

I had to get one, and had to insert a short 18650 in. It works! Though the extra length exposed more pressure on the “pill”. May break anytime.

Between beaver shots and hot spots, yes, I would say flashaholics can be weird.

Wondering if ya could be more specific. I’m interested in your opinion even tho’ someday I’ll pick up one of these. Realize you say the CRI is “usable”.

Watt I mean….

Specifically, how does the color brown at night TCR to the brown(s) on a familiar object when it’s viewed in sunlight?

PS. I reside in a high desert environment. LOTS of rattlesnakes. Foremost the Southern Pacific on this 5 acre property. It’s also considered by one of the top venomous snake experts in the country (my doctor) if not THE most venomous now due to suspected interbreeding with the Mojave Green. It’s mainly a brownish snake in that color spectrum.

Your handle sorta prompted me to ask. :laughing:

@whackjob, i would give it a 10 for TCR, it is easy to see brown versus black or green at night with this light; the colors are true with no extra yellow of some cheap emitters.

i don’t really have a good way to take a beamer shot to show you, maybe someone else more experienced will do that.

This is not the OT-50L version, but the OT・50L. Center dot versus dash, subtle little difference such as sometimes seen in products from vachina.

It has really long springs at both ends, so they could easily be shortened to use a longer single cell. It’s just begging for a mod.
