Thank you. Good to hear from you. BLF notifies me if someone posts in a thread I started so I just signed in to help answer the question.
I’ve Nichia’ed out is the main reason I haven’t posted. Nichia 219b, 519a, B35AM, etc., I’ve already got them all and don’t see any LED more interesting. And with lights like Wurkkos TS30S w/ SBT 90.2, M21E w/ GTFC40 , and Lumintop D3v2 (fantastic 6500 lm in a pocket light), I don’t see “better” budget lights to buy for my walk-light use.
Remember the Nightwatch Super Valkyrie ( brightest single LED single battery light on market) - you got one also right? I like it a lot too and am thinking of buying a second one. 13090 lm w/ Neals’s mystery Lishen battery - just stupendous (fun) output for such a small light.
