Exactly watt I was looking for. Gotta hand out a lot of these to fam, friends, neighbors, and maybe even boyscouts and local hikers.
Lotsa rattlers here. And this species is particularly aggressive if it feels cornered.
Thanks, Kenny. Appreciated.
Time for an adjunct forum, BLF at night?
Adults with flashlights 
Adult Swim at the neighborhood pool—all the kids out and just the parents to have an hour to themselves without the chiklets.
Is this marked like a rattler or plain colored? Have any pictures?
They didn’t latin it ‘Helleri’ for nuthin’. 
Doc told me…….“If ya get bit I just meet ya at the hospital. Time’s of the essense.”
Top pic is the best TCR.
Thx.
I can’t find any real tests of these lights. Are they really high CRI (> 90)? What’s the color temp/tint like?
Dat gum, they must have some concentrated venom—i’m rootin fer the kingsnakes…
Yeah brother! We got those plus gopher snakes and mah favorite rattler control bird, roadrunners. Well, they’d be mah favorite bird regardless. Luv that critter.
Beep! Beep! :laughing: :+1:
Don’t get me wrong. I have a couple dozen cheap lights, possibly more. You know, there is not much variation. Cheap is cheap. I thought this was the budget light forum, not the cheapest light forum.
Ya need to head over to the new Cheapest Budget Light Forum (CBLF) over at CPF. They THRIVE on this kinda stuff.
PS. Ya do realize these are intended mainly for distribution to muggies, right?
Watt ya want us to doo give ’em Surefires and Nitecores? :laughing:
PSS. We’re not elitists here. We just pretend to be. :+1:
The beauty of a really cheap light is people who don't mod ..(because they feel like they have very little talent) OR ( hate to screw up a decent light) get the opportunity to take a chance and might realize that they made the light better . , A cheap light gives all of us a chance to try something new without any real risk.
Nobody is forcing you to read or post in this thread in the AAA flashlights forum, but you obviously can’t stay away—and it’s because you aren’t sure that this isn’t the best new $1 AAA- batteries-included flashlight out there, right? Or are you just slummin’ down here with the cheap suits.
i understand the hesitancy, but if you don’t like the beav, walmar will take it back and give you a refund, no questions asked.
Heck you can open the tail and remove the plastic separator while in the store and give it a try there—don’t even have to buy it if you don’t like it.
But if you try one there is a huge variation, none of your cheap beamers will even come close.
Budget means Value, not price. Good Value for your money is good for the Budget.
That it sells for a low price is just a bonus.
Grabbed a few of these today that look like post #5 with OT.50L printed on the tube. They’re extremely cool white and on the throwy side. For comparison, left to right:
Convoy S2+ 219C 4000K
Wurkkos FC11 LH351D 5000K
Emisar D4V2 XP-L HI 6500K
Walmart OT.50L ???K
There’s noticeable tint difference among the four I bought, with two slightly rosy and two slightly green. In my super-scientific bathroom ceiling bounce test, my luxmeter app read about 50% higher than the FC11’s “50LM” setting (using Eneloops) so the OT.50L’s 50 lumen claim is probably accurate, possibly conservative.
Butt knot for watt yer thinkin. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Edmund_Heller
I don't know much of anything about western snakes...enough to know that there's a damn lot of them and most of them mean business. Snake latin and species/subspecies/varieties are weird, though, lots more going on than with most other areas of biology. Pretty common for someone to tack on their name upon confirmation of a new species, etc...like astronomers getting to name their stars.
And why not? All those western Cossacks had were poisonous snakes and cactus plants.
Anyone do any run time test on these?
Will they run on eneloops without overheating/dimming the LED?
i suspect they would be fine on eneloops.
on a 18650 at full charge i get 230 ma.
after it runs a while i can dump out the cell and reach a finger to the board.
i can hold it there no problem.
several full cycles with a 2200mah cell show no degradation.
Thanks!
How long did it run on the 2200 mAh cell?

So lemme get this straight, of the four OT.50Ls that ya bought all of them were ‘cool white’, yet with varying tints, green to rosy, correct?
PS. Would ya consider doing a TCR on all four? I’m curious if YOU see any variation in true color rendition between the two tints mentioned. I realize this is subjective to your eyes only.
(TCR definition is in my signature. This can be segregated per individual colors. For instance one emitter may have browns stand out as truer, while another yellows, etc. Just trying to determine how consistent the emitters in the 50.L’s are. Butt I doubt there’s little if any TCR individual/overall color shift on these. Slight tint variations from one 50.L to the next notwithstanding. Kennybobby has pretty much confirmed this and I trust his judgement.)
How appropriately coincidental. One hell of a reptile.
PS. Speakin’ of coincidences, I had a butt knot this morning. Cramp. I know, TMI. :laughing:
