I have both (in purple, the i3s is more flashy purple, the swm a bit less glossy and in my opinion nicer purple) and alltough the i3s turns more smoothly, i’m a bit dissapointed in the light it puts out. The swm is supposed to be only 66 lumens, but i can’t see any difference between that and the i3s wich is rated at 80 lumens. The swm is more neutral white too…
But only partially supported by actual data. Here are a couple representations of real survey results:
Results are from here:
and here:
I found it interesting that the most popular color names are mostly the same. Also, the extreme outliers (the most-gendered color names given in the survey) were interesting too (copied from XKCD):
Here are the color names most disproportionately popular among women:
Dusty Teal
Blush Pink
Dusty Lavender
Butter Yellow
Dusky Rose
Here are the color names most disproportionately popular among men:
Penis
Gay
WTF
Dunno
Baige
(to clarify, #5 was actually a very popular misspelling made by the people who took the survey)
I don’t feel too bad about that; this thread seems to have outlived its usefulness, so now it’s devolving into a playground. There just aren’t that many purple lights available, and nearly everything relevant has already been posted.
Now as for guy/girl colors. I’m there. Mauve, Taupe, all these horrible color descriptions. The 7 primary colors are like red, blue, green, white, black, camo and gay. That’s all the colors anyone needs…
My kids are half Filipino ages 6 and 7. One is dark with black eyes and straight hair, one is light with brown eyes and curly hair. They will tell you “I’m brown like Mommy” or “I’m white like daddy”. I don’t think they’ll ever understand prejudice based on skin color since everyone in our family is a different shade Here they are: http://lotsoffun.org/gallery/index.php/Kids-2013
Just thought I’d share this, I mad this for my wife for a stocking stuffer for Xmas. I was hoping to find a pink o-ring to replace the red one but haven’t yet. The lanyard is GITD. The L10 is currently in my pocket cause I don’t have a good backup EDC while I wait on Jake to get more 3-mode Nichia’s back in. It had a pink trit in the tail.
This year for Easter the kids are getting L08’s green, blue and pink, all with matching trits.
