Reeks of sex discrimination. 
From one of my all-time faves: Spinal Tap…
Ian Faith: They’re not gonna release the album… because they have decided that the cover is sexist.
Nigel Tufnel: Well, so what? What’s wrong with bein’ sexy? I mean there’s no…
Ian Faith: Sex-IST!
David St. Hubbins: IST!
I think this is a great idea for a giveaway.
This is a very nice gesture of yours RBD. My wife was naughty. Does that mean she is ineligible? Should I just nominate my girlfriend? I hate making decisions.
My suggestion, 10280 or 10440 Nichia (if you mean 92cri 4500k) reflector.
Twisty if 10280 since, to me, if your not aiming tiny then go efest 10440.
I think 10180 is the best choice for a keychain light. It’s quickly annoying to have a big thing on my keyring.
Plus IMO, a keychain flashlight is used very sporadically, just to see the keyhole… So small, floddy but still powerful enough to light a path. (350mA should be good!)
1 mode is plenty enough for a keychain flashlight!
I vote 10440 with nichia and high of like 1A and low of like 100mA.
Edit: twisty for a keychain light.
I would vote 10440, Nichia, reflector and clicky switch.
I propose .5A and 50mA off a 10440, mode memory optional, small reflector for a large floody hotspot, or a small wide pattern 10mm optic, high cri / neutral tint, depending on what you want. A 219, xpg-2 and xp-l all fit the bill.
This .
Afraid of sounding sexist or anti-feminist or je ne sais pas, but what if it was shaped like a lipstick, twisty like? like, a square prism shape. Easy to twist two squares, motion that some are already accustomed to, less likely to roll around. Downsides: perpetuating the notion that women need makeup; shining light in ones mouth instead of applying lip paint; probably much harder to make, DIY like.
I vote XP for smallest battery, nichia for other two batteries. I feel like when I have more capacity, I can afford to sacrifice efficacy for nicer tint.
This sounds good. I like the ideas about non-standard shape below, too.
An old friend of mine was rather fond of her D-cells… she went through an awful lot of them…
My friends call me Sally.
I'm not unlucky enough to have friends.
I don’t care if they call you Sally or Sue, it ain’t for you!
They’re gonna be tubular with maybe a touch of Steve’s knurling.
Still waiting to hear what the ladies want rather than what we think they want.
Had me thinking for a moment and then realised there is more than one person called Steve.
So… if I were (hypothetically) a woman with a girlfriend, I could enter twice?
Hold on, I need to go talk to someone about … elective surgery …
Honestly, it depends how small you can get a switch down to.
I’ve got a DQG tiny and it either shreds o-rings, turns on in my pocket or the head unscrews itself, so I’d prefer a small clicky
No, it’s you, Steve. Turnover on my mods isn’t quite up to the speed of most others so it’s understandable if you’ve forgotten making a bunch of 12mm sections for me, especially since this is the first opportunity I’ve taken to use them. Originally they were going to sleeve the heads of solitaires but I haven’t done one of those in awhile and have since discovered the joys of making entire lights from scratch.
I picked up some switches a while back that fit in a 10mm tube and are ~10 mm long. I seem to recall Justin saying they fail pretty consistently above .5A so I’d likely max at 380mA with a clicky. I know higher currents are possible even with the 10180 cell but I want these to be practical rather than pyrotechnical.
Comment deleted as I don't want to get kicked of here. I'll try and get the wife to respond here. It might take awhile as she is a bit slow. Takes after me.
