Since this light didn’t come with a User Manual, I’m in a quandary: What pronoun should be used when referring to this light? It? Them? As in, “This flashlight is incredible”, or “These flashlights is incredible”, or “These flashlight are incredible”? Is it a single being or multiple entities? Is it a collective noun? Indeed, does a collective noun exist for multiple flashlights that have become fused into one?

In Spanish, the name of this light comes much easier. For any Spanish speakers around here, I think its name would have to be El Cuatro Machos — that seems to work quite nicely to communicate its unique 4-in-1, plural-yet-singular, “macho” identity, and it correctly obeys the rules of Spanish grammar, or at least the grammar of Cantinflas. :wink:

As for an English name? I’ll have to go with “The Duodecuple”. After all, what other 12-tuple thing exists in the world?

:wink:

Well done! Well deserved!

Fantastic !

Enjoy “The Duodecuple” sb.

Well done Justin, _the_ and conspirators...

I’m glad to see that beaut in your hands. Well, my hands would have fit it as well but you deserve it! :slight_smile: Thank you for making this forum possible, great bunch of folks here and a well run machine it is.

Enjoy!

That’s awesome! I thoroughly enjoyed reading that. :beer: :face_with_monocle:

Where's the beam shots? It should be dark by now.Wink I am still waiting for the banana leaf shots too, by the way.Tongue Out

That is so awesome, Sb!!! I'm so happy you appreciate our small(?) gesture of gratitude. Thank you for all you do, Mr Admin! You are well loved by all of us!

Right here! https://googledrive.com/host/0B-BX653Loct-aGdwZ0JaaXYzdkU/beamshots/
Sorry, I don’t have a good setup for beamshots. My best camera is in my Samsung Android phone, I set it to ISO 800 and as much manual settings as possible for consistency. The pictures don’t look like much, but boy was it bright out there tonight in real life!

Very, very impressive. I put it up against my former most powerful light, a 2x18650 triple XM-L Uniquefire 3900. The Uniquefire appears to have a slight advantage in throw, but the color is quite sickly compared to the vivid, natural, sunlight color of The Duodecuple. At closer range, the Duodecuple produces an incredible wall of light that handily beats the Uniquefire. I love it! My camera really can’t do it justice.

I'm sure maglite never envisioned this .

Couldn't have fallen into a better set of hands ...Congrats !

Now do what Old Lumens would do.

take pictures of it while you tear it apart .. :P

Congratulations ! What a fantastic surprise :bigsmile:
I assume this “Master-Blaster” is a one-of-a-kind flashlight?
Could you show us a picture of it in your hand? Looks wonderful as it is 8)

That’s the problem. it looks wonderful as it is… but my hand doesn’t! 0:)

But seriously, it is so much smaller and compact in real life than it appears in the pictures. That’s why it’s so entertaining to see it walloping the huge, long, Uniquefire 3900. I’ll take some pictures of it sitting next to common, standard sized objects.
