Your most Fun light and why?

BlueSwordM:

@klrman, I wouldn’t say it’s my most fun light, but it’s my High CRI BLF Q8. Almost same brightness as the stock Q8 with 4000k LH351Ds 90CRI due to using dual BeCu springs, but with a lot more heat. However, I use it so much now due to the better beam profile, much better tint, and much better color rendition. I use it outside everyday now that days are very short, so it’s very nice to take pictures with, observe wildlife, and take breathtaking pictures of scenery with it.

Is it more floody than the stock Q8?

BlueSwordM · 2018-11-27T03:09:43.000Z

@klrman, yes it is. Not by too much though since it initially uses still floody XP-L HDs, but it is non-negligible.

Sounds like an interesting mod you did BlueswordM. Q8 is my best utility light as it's built like a brick and lasts a long time on the lower amps. Use it everywhere for little construction projects the last few months. Haven't been brave enough yet to try to reflow an led but soon I will as I have a few lights I really want to change up.

My most fun lights are my UV lights, purple ’501B with UV emitter, and UV version of the S2+ with ZWB2, originally generic black out of the tin but now purple as well.

Sometimes I don’t even wanna know why certain things are fluorescing…

Emitters emmissions etc.!!!

My BLF GT70

And Haikelite MT03 TA

Do I really need to answer the question why?

FW3a. Already two years of fun without paying a buck.

i found a little bit of fun by navigating in the dark with the shittiest flashlight with the lowest brightness, so i purposely purchased a few dollar store old tech plastic flashlights for such purpose and right now been using a lot on this 1 lumen penlight by Camelion

D4 and SC26, then Q8. SP33 soon. Amutorch X9 soon also.I like bright lights in the 2-3000 lumen range.

My scratch made Ti/Cu 18500 Quad with Samsung LH351D 80 CRI 5000K emitters, probably the most fun because it’s the one I always have on me… it impresses a lot of folks and is ultra useful…

I do have to say though, I’m really enjoying playing with the newest monster creation, the Q8 458 Ham’r.

lampliter · 2018-11-27T16:25:41.000Z

My Cometa; I like the way it sounds when I take it apart; I like the way it fits my hand; it’s a gadget freaks dream.

Just a suggestion ..... that's a light you could sell right here on BLF, it's beautiful and could be a real special production light.

Sunwayman F30r…
It’s Role Player/problem solver.
(Selfbuilt explained it well in his review)
Shorter than a D4 (unless you use the excellent diffuser for lantern use.)
Throws extremely well with a smooth & deep reflector, which does a great job of controlling XML-2 tint shift, making it look much like HiCri.
I like pretty colors, especially actinic, the blue is a great bedroom light.
My F40a has a better sub-lumen, but is heavier, and unavailable.

My Photon Freedom Micro(s), of course

Click to on, click to off
But wait, if you keep clicking, you get Morse code/signalling mode!
Want dimmer light? It’s continuously dimmable.
Use it as a beacon for your keychain? 3 flashing modes and 1 SOS
Want a longer lasting beacon? It has a secret 50% mode!
It has a store demo mode (shut off after 30 seconds) that can be reactivated, to prevent battery drain
The switch is an actual separate input. It doesn’t just connect and disconnect the battery, like all twisty lights.
Comes in all the colors of the rainbow - including UV and IR
Water resistant, made in USA, lifetime warranty, comes with necklace and positionable clip etc.

My most fun torch is definitely the Convoy M1. It’s 7A warm white, so it pleases the little retro buff in my brain; the “P60 host” format tickles the retro’s mall ninja neighbor just the right way; and finally, it has Biscotti, so I can fiddle with all the mode groups and find different applications based on how each one works – perfect when boredom strikes in and you’re sick and tired of looking at a screen for entertainment.

==that is an awesome UI, I have a photon - why can;t any big lights just use that UI and BDWI (be done with it)?

This reminds me of the pictures someone on BLF posted several years ago. He used a UV light to light up his backyard and 100 scorpions lit up in the picture.

He then went around with some thick gloves and put them all into a bucket.
