I'm sorry I think flashlight memes are funny no matter how many I see

Emisar, and it does a whole heck of a lot more than the picture. By default, it will light up a whole room when I bounce the beam off the ceiling. If I press the button twice, it turns a dark room into daytime. If I press the button twice, then twice again, it turns the room into a supernova and blinds everyone in it. I only use that mode for pointing at the corner of the room (when cats aren’t around) to take photos using refracted light.

There’s also like 70 other things it can do with its one single button, but I mostly just use “on” and “battery check”. It can tell you the room’s temperature! I’ve got two of his lights and they’re like 50 bucks each. One 18650. I have 20 18650s.

    What's the battery life like?

    On turbo mode: atrocious. But also you can’t see, so it’s whatever.

    On normal (extremely bright mode): a couple hours per recharge! Good quality 18650s are basically free (like 5-7 moneys each) so I never find myself having troubles with batteries. I have a D4v2 and a DT8, and the D4v2 lasts much longer but I find myself using the DT8 way more because it’s extremely silly. I swap batteries out every week or two of daily (light) use, and the most I’ve swapped the batteries out in a day is maybe twice? when using turbo mode a lot to take a bunch of indoor photos before I got a phone that takes excellent low light pictures!

    Thanks! Those look ridiculous, in a good way.

    The d4 is normal, small, and amazing. The DT8 is insane, too bright, and silly but I love it so much. I got a set of warm lights and a set of blinding insane cool white lights, and you can switch between warm and cool on the same flashlight! It’s a crazy light.
