  I sense you are walking down a path into a very deep rabbit hole. Image

  Seriously, it’s a whole thing.

  Iirc this is an old video, and in the previous comments I’ve read about this, this only works for seconds at best - then you have to go change the batteries

    So according to this review it lasts about 40min at the brightest setting. It does get dimmer over time and also has very noisy active cooling though.

    I still think it’s worth it

    Is that why the gif is so frustrating? 10 seconds of suspense, then 3 seconds of bright light, then it’s over.

      I think the op just didn’t want to piss off everyone in those buildings

    MS18 actually. Genuinely the brightest handheld flashlight in the world.

      I’ve seen Direct D shine this back at cops when they point their flashlights at his cameras. They aren’t supposed to do it, it’s called prior restraint. This flashlight is the perfect response.

      My opinion is that LEP lights are going to be brighter than anything LED very soon. Right now they’re on basically the first generation of LEP chips, but in a couple of years when engineers figure out the spot/flood distribution for LEP lenses combined with the natural efficiency and brightness gains that come with maturing light technologies…

      Now, we just need to make it a rule that all flashlights need potting so they can survive being used in the real world.

    Takes 8 21700 batteries, will run for 60 seconds on Turbo mode. Holy shitballs.

      I think 60s is because of heat and not power consumption but I’m no flashlights doctor
