Here are my reviews.

I figured I would link to this thread in my signature instead of linking to each individual review.

Acebeam E70-AL mini-review

The flashlight images in this review are from Acebeam, and the images are being used with Acebeam's explicit permission. [image] I received this Acebeam E70-AL yesterday. It took about 2 weeks to get here from China, which is not bad at all. Acebeam asked me to add this: It is fast shipping if buy through amazon US. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B096LX58CF I got this light at a discount (that I cannot disclose.) I was asked to do a mini-review, but it was not required of me. Although …

The flashlight images in this review are from Convoy, and the images are being used with Convoy's explicit permission. The first version of this review was originally posted on Budget Light Forum on 03/28/2022 by myself. Disclaimer: I don't know if this flashlight is literally the "king" of budget compact 21700 throwers, but I do mention Stephen King (the king of horror) in this review.

5. [Review] Superb Sofirn LT1S Lantern

[Review] Superb Sofirn LT1S Lantern

[image] [image] [image] [image] I took four amateur digital photos that go with this review. The first one is my LT1S near my Cardigan Welsh Corgi dog. He'll be fourteen years old this year. Queen Elizabeth II likes Pembroke Welsh Corgis, but I prefer Cardigan Welsh Corgis. Two of the images are of the LT1S next to an unbranded lantern, with both lanterns on their highest output. In one image, the LT1S is at 2700K and in the other one it's at 6500K. The unbranded lantern is at about 50…

6. [Review] Impressive & Compact Sofirn SC18

[Review] Impressive & Compact Sofirn SC18

[image] Photos I took a couple of photos that go with this review. The first is of the Sofirn SC18 along with the Sofirn 3000 mAh unprotected 18650 cell to show how small the flashlight is. I don't think that my photo perfectly shows how small this flashlight is, but it gives you an idea if you know how large an 18650 cell is. The second photo is of the SC18 on top of an unknown Gasteria succulent. What's interesting about Gasteria is that its leaves break off pretty easily, but you can…

I received the Sofirn SC29 this week. [image] The Sofirn SC29 is a sweet EDC with an interesting TIR lens. The TIR lense is textured somewhat like an orange peel reflector is textured. The emitter is an XHP50.2 The comb…

If you are a light manufacturer/retailer, I might be willing to review your light.

I am kinda picky, though.

I mostly like somewhat compact 1x18650 and 1x21700 lights.

Anything with a reflector diameter larger than 55mm 45mm is probably too big.

Any review I do in the future will be similar to my later reviews.

I will ask you if I can use your website’s images in my review.

I may take a photo or two, but I am not into taking lots of photos.

Feel free to PM me about a possible review.

Something new that I’m doing (starting with my third review) is improving the images’ quality with a program called Topaz Gigapixel AI.

I plan to use that program for any new reviews that I do.

[pennzy]

Is this a regulated driver?

[raccoon]

Unfortunately, I don’t know.
If you ask in the review thread, hopefully someone else will have an answer for you.

[pennzy]

Thought that was where I was.

Where do I find the review reply ?
