Some of you out there may remember me.
I was never very active here, as I posted most of my reviews on candlepowerforums. I did have an account here, but I lost the password and that old e-mail is no longer in use, so I recreated one with my Reddit user name (should be self-explanatory).
As I explain on my newly revamped flashlightreviews.ca website, Iāve decided to start doing some new reviews focusing initially on the 1x21700 battery class. These will be posted on my actual site, which has been updated with greatly expanded functionality, including a database feature and the ability for you post your comments right on the reviews there.
This is my second review since my return, and the first one focused on a budget light.
As I discuss in that review (and on my site), I previously stayed away from so-called budget lights for a number of reasons. But most of that was due to a very different environment and issues with budget lights when I first started reviewing in ~2008. I can see quite a few things have changed in the time I was away, and I thought it was a good idea to start with a new baseline of a popular budget model.
I went for all three emitter classes in this model, so I can directly compare performance (and have more than one sample to evaluate). I hope you find it useful - I certainly found the results interesting.
Hereās a teaser runtime:
Anyway, I canāt promise to be very active on the forums going forward, but I will monitor for comments. And will try to stop by when I post a new budget light review you may find interesting.
