Bought me a headlamp, don’t know why cos I really don’t like headlamps, especially not weighty headlamps, but I didn’t had any so I guess I needed one:
I also bought it because I wanted to see a LH351D for myself as this is my first with that led and because it was in a flash-sale, the one with battery was even almost 2 euro cheaper as the one without battery.
Looks like a nice headlamp Kwispelhond! Hope you like it. For me the 18650 design is not too “weighty” for a headlamp, but I guess it depends on what you are using it for.
We love the SP40. I got the XP-L version last year. My son uses it a lot so got the LH351D for myselft the other week. Very happy with it. Much nicer output than XP-L, both 4000K.
Got my Rovyvon A5X after trying out a dozen of other keychain flashlights. It is extremely bright for short bursts and the red light has impressive output. Finally I found a UI that fully prevents accidental activation by requiring a double click to on. So far it is superior to the nitecore tiki in every way.
What I don’t like is the white side lights, imo they are pretty much useless due to the GITD body giving them an ugly green tint, should’ve gone with the blue one instead. A beacon mode instead of the burst strobe would be nice.
I am a sucker for copper lights, and wanted to have my first one with tritium slots. Of course, tritium is stupid expensive now, but I’m hoping by next year I can pick up some vials to outfit this Lumintop LM10. This thing is HEAVY. I knew on paper that 98 grams would have much heft, but it’s a different experience feeling it in your hand. Still, what a substantial piece of metal. I hated the look of it in titanium and stainless… something about copper does it justice.
I believe this one give the most lumens per $, eye estimate around 1,800 and the tint is surprisingly good, no blue or green shift. It also has USB-C charging at 1.6A rate. Build quality is a lot better than I expected for this price, UI is about the worst I’ve seen for an e-switch, but at least has single click on-off and memory.
However the runtime is atrocious even with the 3x integrated 18650, I would guess these are the lowest if the lowest quality cells available. I wil replace them with some 2,800mah powerbank pulls.
