Black shadow terminator and dont lock it out, see johnnymacs review for details J) 0:)
Hi gords, I already have the Black Shadow Terminator. I don’t really like the green colour of the “firefly mode”, and JohnnyMac has suggested that I could change it to a white LED, but this BST is so nice I don’t feel like tearing it apart.
While I don’t have a suggestion for an actual torch, or flashlight, I just want to suggest that rechargeable batteries, maybe NiMH, might save you money in this situation.
I have a couple of torches from LIDL, and they have low modes (although I reckon the low modes are more like 30 lumens than “firefly” or “moonlight” 0.x lumens) which I use to provide dim illumination all night, and NiMH rechargeables work out at virtually no cost in the long run
Mrs D looks HOT dancing at the foot of the bed in garters with the strobe going… Oh wait… You were talking a bout a light for sleeping…. :bigsmile:
Do not darken your room in night completely, light from outside will get in and you can see in the night.
A simple small LED from some device can light up the room, etc.
I don’t like these so I cover all LEDs of devices that I don’t turn off for the night, disconnecting power sources from the wall etc.
It’s enough light for me from these that they are annoying otherwise.
If you’re blind or not light sensitive, hey just light up one bright 5mm LED on full power and it lights up the room just fine. No need for some special stuff or moon mode flashlights.
You could just plug it into USB of your computer it has a standby USB power, 1 connector, 1 resitor, 1 LED.
Or use some rechargeable battery, if you like to recharge them once in a while and have a holder for one.
When my godson stays over, I usually set up a Zebralight SC80 on firefly mode for him. At something approaching two weeks of runtime on a single AA, it seems to be the near-perfect setup for this use.
Video, or it didn’t happen… :party:
Oh snap, there’s something’s you shouldn’t need proof of 
Our own little BLF mini from WWEFANS does 2%, on moon mode…
JackCY: Well yes light from outside can come in, but I still want to look for a suitable light. And I usually switch off devices, and the LEDs are too dim to make any difference.
501 sea: Yes, I’m planning to use rechargeable batteries.
Chicago X: Unfortunately, Zebralight SC80 is not really budget…
Flomotion: I just bought it, still waiting for its arrival.
All my new Nanjg builds have a moonlight mode, base on the luxdrv driver. Classic 18650 tube light is ideal. I'm building these for like $14-$15 in parts from FastTech, doing 760 lumens on high/turbo w/U3 and 2.8A Nanjg. Needs some tweaking to tailstand well though.
I can make a drop in with a .002 amp moonlight mode, it will run for over a month nonstop on a good 18650 even longer on a 26650 and it puts out enough light to see in a dark room with night vision adjusted eyes.
Unfortunately I have some strange illness that causes severe trembling in my hands so I can’t solder at the moment. If you want to PM me I can see if I have any spares I can part with. I can also sell you a driver with the custom 5 mode program if you are up to doing the mod yourself. The modes are .002 moon low, .09 low, .8 medium, 1.75 high, 3.55 turbo with memory and low voltage warning.
It’s very similar to a low candle light with a warm 7C tint XML.
