Nice to read your post, finally, someone who needs a flashlight
for practical reasons! Not to collect, not for geeking, not
for lumens, not for looks, not for specs and not for modding,
but because the job needs light.
Sofirm asked me, why do you need a magnet cap? Other vendors are
surprised when lumens, throw and bright hotspots are downplayed.
One common refrain, “What do you want?
The focus on big lumens, long distances, titanium builds and
military posturing often have very little practical impact;
when working on a CNS machine or reading in bed.
BLF has been helpful, for example, in reaching you. but limited.
The technology framework is built for social threading, “what
movie did you watch last night,” sales events and headline activity;
at the expense of; search, common interests and best practices.
BLF is overwhelmingly focused on the hobby, design, mod and in
developing social dynamics, which clearly serves a need. The overlap
with engineering threads can be helpful but requires time to plow
through. Great for flashlight geeks - not so much for tool and
job based needs.
Would have been more appropriate to post this in an open thread
but, am far more interested in knowing models have “worked”
well for you and those which you are considering?
