@Bort you seem to be in a really interesting situation, you seem concerned, but you don’t read the thread. But lets be civil here. Lets say i order the ones suggested in this thread, but in the future i want to have that Temperature Regulator, in my flashlights, so can you provide with any alternatives something that is in my price range and is either 18650 or AA or even AAA?

You throw out the insults then tell me to be civil :person_facepalming:

Bort, Bort, Bort…. :person_facepalming:
Do you have no suggestions for the man?? :person_facepalming:
~

Maestro_Da_Vinci…. Let me do a bit of research & I will post some links to a few lights with Temperature Regulation in your stated price range.
Regards….

Not that you will approve of according to your recent posts

That sounds like a total cop out to me.

If you have no suggestions, just say so. Whether “I approve” has NOTHING TO DO with the question Maestro_Da_Vinci asked you.

I’m sorry i don’t measure up to your standards.
Actually, no i’m not sorry.

What???

I simply find it ironic that you suggest Temperature Controlled lights to the OP, but yet you provide no suggestions for such lights.

You will not even give suggestions when he specifically asks YOU to. :person_facepalming:

Maestro_Da_Vinci · June 19, 2022, 1:02pm

Bort I’m sorry, if i offended you. But i do want those recommendations if you have them.

JenkinsMatti · June 19, 2022, 2:18pm

@ Maestro_Da_Vinci…. Here is a bit of information you might find useful or interesting about flashlight UI’s (User Interfaces). You can also see which UI’s have Thermal Regulation.

Turbo and thermal control

Flashlight User Interface Cheatsheets

And as I posted above, after I complete my research I will post links to a few lights with Thermal/Temperature Regulation that are also within your stated price restraints.

I am thinking those lights will be from Sofirn or Convoy…. but we will see what I find.

So all you can do is attack those who don’t parrot your views :person_facepalming:
Perhaps i should start acting like you, it obviously works out well for you :laughing:

Bort · June 19, 2022, 6:56pm

You did not, Jenkins did.

This link has many of Convoy’s temperature regulated lights.
https://convoy.aliexpress.com/store/group/18650-series/1100591265_519079348.html?origin=n&SortType=bestmatch_sort&g=y&SearchText=temperature

And this M2 is also temperature regulated, though the other M2s don’t seem to be.

I have noticed from experience the S2 will overheat quickly, on my first gen XM-L it would heat up much quicker then the first gen M1 since it had a much smaller head. So its good that you can get a temp regulated S2.

Thanks for those links!

They're quite useful.

JenkinsMatti · June 19, 2022, 8:15pm

You are fricking hilarious Bort… and typical. :person_facepalming:

You do something & then try to turn it around and blame the other person.

You might want to familiarize yourself with the psychological term “projection”. What you just did was/is a textbook case.

And you used the word “attack”? ? ? :question:
What a joke…

Bort · June 19, 2022, 8:45pm

Oh no, you don’t like the word attack being used against your diatribes. Especially when you are the one projecting.
No one is interested in your victim complex.
You start fights then get mad when others don’t capitulate. Then you blame them for your actions.
Whats next, escalation and more whining?

For once we agree, just disagreeing on the who is the joke.
If you can’t act civil then go complain elsewhere, the rest of us have better things to do then put up with your attempted bullying.
I say attempted because your effectiveness is terrible :laughing:

JenkinsMatti · June 19, 2022, 9:23pm

This is the internet Bert, there is nothing to get “mad” about.

I could care less if you use the word “attack” when you get your wittle feelings hurt.

You know you are wrong. You got your panties in a wad way back when I did not agree with your opinion about novices should only have thermally protected lights. And it has gone downhill from there.

Anyone who has half a brain cell can see that.

So get your last word in & make it good.

I am done with this nonsense, internet playtime is over.

Bort · June 19, 2022, 9:29pm

So all you know how to do is demean people.
Then you think saying “So get your last word in & make it good.” will cover for your actions :person_facepalming:

Your welcome, I hope you enjoy your lights.

Do these have temperature regulation, i didn’t see it unless i missed it.

I doubt it.
When they start getting hot, or to hot to hold; the user can turn them down to a lower mode to reguate the temprature.

That’s what I do with my lights that do not have temperature regulation.

While true, it is not automatic of course; I have found it to work just fine.
I have never destroyed a light yet due to excessive heat. :face_with_monocle:

For a novice i think temperature regulation is a good idea.
For an enthusiast its not a necessity.

That may be. :+1:
But it is not rocket science either. If the light starts getting hot, turn it to a lower mode.

When I was a novice, not one of my lights had temperature regulation & nothing bad happened.

If I had them on Turbo or High & they started getting hot enough they were uncomfortable to hold, I simply turned them to a lower mode.

I never, as a novice; had a problem or destroyed a light either.

Again, it is not rocket science. If a person, even a novice; simply uses a bit of Common Sense there will be no problem.
If the light gets hot, go to a lower mode.

Common sense is not that common.

I have seen lights destroyed by novices, one was faulty design (Coast Polysteel). Its also as simple as leaving a running light on a table/tailstanding.

I will buy a non regulated light for myself since i know what i am doing, i won’t give one to a non enthusiast.

True in many cases, some people are just ignorant & stupid too. AND you can’t fix stupid, as we all know.

But again, it is not rocket science. Whether tailstanding a light or holding it in your hand… you know it will get hot when running on Turbo or High mode
Deal with it appropately by going to a lower mode when it does.

How long does it take even the most uniformed novice to learn this simple lesson??

I know several people of which this question cannot be answered as the bottom cannot be found.

And those are the people I would never give a light, a knife, a screwdriver, or anything.

You cannot dumb down everything in life to suit the most uninformed & mentally lacking of the species.

If you do you end up with things like the supposedly idiot proof spouts on current gasoline cans.
They are completely worthless.

In my opinion to assume Maestro_Da_Vinci is not smart enough or does not have the common sense to follow the very simple instructions concerning heat management of a flashlight is doing him a disservice.

Until he either tells or shows us he is not mentally competent to follow the simple instructions of “if & when the light gets hot go to a lower mode…. I think you do him a disservice to assume he is not competent.

It’s a case of:

“Doc, it hurts when I do this.”

“So don’t do that.”

Andrew_Amanda · July 7, 2022, 1:45pm

Does the Convoy brand seem to last and hold up as well as the more expensive brands? I am curious if we should be adding that brand to our store? What types of flashlights are they manufacturing that seem to be popular?

Maestro_Da_Vinci · July 12, 2022, 2:06pm

OK Thank you everyone.

So i ordered the following product https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005001388842348.html 4000K and 3500K with 12 groups. I know it might not be the best for a beginner, but because i’m a beginner i wanted to learn how these new flashlights work and how to handle the modes and everything. I tried to learn just now, but i guess it will take time to understand how the memory works, how different modes work and many more things.

I also ordered this https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005002657839534.html but i don’t know how to use them, do i need to open the flashlight and put something in front of the light sensor or something different.

I also ordered https://www.aliexpress.com/item/32830063977.html with Yellow light. It seems to be very good quality and a nice little headlamp. The general usage is great and it seems very powerful.

Thank you everyone for the suggestions i have added many of them on my aliexpress wishlist and might buy them in the future. The new flashlight era is very big and seems to be very complicated when it comes to modes and different types of flashlight so i have a lot to learn.
