Mrs. Spicy wanted to have a campfire while we were camping this weekend, so I enlisted the help of several diffusers to light our site while I prepped our wood. Diffusers shown are the SP36 (coming soon), D18, Q8+, and IF22a (also coming soon).
Hey awesome! I'm happy that to see you figured out how to use the crab ๐
Simple UI, flat regulation, 519a? What else could I possibly want??
You are so much more organized than I will ever be! I also have no intention of ever using the pocket clips on my lights so it's no big deal.
I leave all my O-rings in the sun to bake. My rubber is not to be trusted!
Seconded! What is that, a custom cerakote or something?
I'm gonna need you to list all of the lights that these clips go with /s
I have a poorly organized bin that all of my light accessories live in. It is a rats nest of clips, o rings, lanyards, and extra tubes. Pure chaos.
This would be sweet! The practical execution would probably be quite difficult, but I would love to be able to swap from 2700K to 4500K on the fly! Thermal sinking could be a challenge, unless maybe each emitter is mounted on its own MCPCB, and the MCPCB is the thing that gets swapped in and out. Thermal issues would still arise, but one can dream!
This is such an excellent idea! USB-C programming would be so cool!I would want to be an easy visual interface for programming for sure. Even something simple like boxes where you specify number of clicks/holds and the actions that they perform.
Didn't 4sevens make some Bluetooth controlled lights (or maybe prototypes) back in the day? Bluetooth control doesn't seem super ideal for my purposes, but programming over Bluetooth would be awesome.

Things on Lemmy are going great! I am enjoying seeing the posts and the expertise that folks are bringing to this site. To celebrate, I'm going to give away some AA/14500 battery holders and some TS10 diffusers!
As always, you can get these items from me or download them to 3D print them yourself!
What you can win:
How to enter: Comment your most disruptive flashlight idea.
Here's my disruptive idea: Flashlight controlled by capacitive touch OLED screen. Swipe up for brighter and down for dimmer. Haptic feedback tells you cues (low batt, light turboed, stepdown, etc).

I believe the DT8 and DT8K share the same head/bezel size, so yes it should work!
Rectangular hat is good hat
I shoved it up into the frame so I could see the filter. The diffuser actually works better when it's upside down in this case!
Wow that warmth of the 2700K 519a! This is a great looking light you've made!
HS10 is a great light!
Do magnetic stripes on credit cards still get accepted? I'm only able to use the chip or NFC these days.
I'm in Minnesota at my wife's lake house, which is quite a change from our New Mexican desert home.
The watermelon
The campfire!
S'mores time!
Great review! Pretty interesting light with the 2 Osram flood emitters. The runtimes look pretty good for this light. Can this actually do a sustained 800lm for 6 hours per the manufacturer spec?
