@ArcaneSlime Well, everything you see is light directly pointing in your eyes.

@ArcaneSlime @Ulrich (Blue light scattering in everything is why the sky is blue)
Also, the worst part imho (thankfully less common) is the use of random LED drop-ins in old housings absolutely not made for their light source shape, position or brightness, scattering light in every direction, without even throwing light farther than stock halogen bulbs.

@ArcaneSlime @Ulrich They are not pointed directly at your eyes, it would be much worse. But they are significantly brighter than previous headlight technologies, and often have smaller reflectors, or lenses, resulting in a smaller (and even brighter) apparent light source. This concentrated apparent source of light more easily causes glare on windshields, glasses or simply our eyes transparents parts. It is awful and very poor design. Not mentionning blue/cold light scatters MUCH more anyway.

@D45 @flashlight I always carry my 3000 k brass TS10 in my pants pocket. I almost always carry my backpack with me and there are three more light coming with it : one 519A 4500 k DD (so more 3500 k) modded MT21C on the strap, one spare silver TS10 4000 k clipped at the top of the main compartment to light the inside, and one MAO 4000 k HD10 for FOH work in theatres.

@Zak @flashlight Yay! That's a lot of people on there.

@Schlemmy @Lurkinney Isn't there an option to disable the voltage flashing? I recall something like that.

@flashlight for those asking why I'm not on the pictures, working with the others, I was going back and forth from the stage with equipment, because the stage and backstage are 1,10m above the floor, and van, with no elevator or stairs nearby :D

 

3000 K BraTS10 and 4500 K DD MT21C lighting up the inside of a van while loading up the theater set and equipment.
The van was otherwise not lit at all on the inside. @flashlight #flashlight #theater

@cobysev @GraniteM I have a french version from 1942 and modded it with a pretty low power, 2700~3000 K single LED drop-in, and more importantly a 18650 battery with integrated USB charging. I built a cheap 2D-18650 adapter by hollowing a piece of wood from the bottom and putting a flat-cut screw through the top to make contact. My grandpa use it and is happy with it. Way more runtime, bit more light, same temp.

@Curious_Canid I read somewhere that the last digit is the shape : 0 for cylindrical

 

I'm officially the flashlight guy of the family, according to this present 😭

Je suis prêt pour le 8 décembre.

The biggest "moonlight" capable light you'll ever see https://youtu.be/LDiXNsWQzD0 @flashlight

 

Hi! Do you know where to find floody TIR optics to put in my 519A modded MT21C? (~1 inch diameter) @flashlight #Flashlight

 

Today I swapped the awful and greenish factory Cree XP-L HD V6 6500K of a Nitecore MT21C for a Nichia 519A 4500K (MCPCB swap). I may try to install a floodier TIR optic. Click the fedi logo for more! #Flashlight @flashlight

 

Two vise clamps and lots of brute force, I finally disassembled the head of a MT21C, which is a great light with shitty emitter and beam. What emitter should I swap for ? 3.45mm square, 2.79 Vf typical, 3 amps. I like 4000 k and high CRI. @flashlight

 

3000k TS10 to the rescue! Nobody planned any lighting for the sculpture ( by @Syl) at the entrance of the festival. It is fixed for a few hours. @flashlight

 

I think I found a faithful representation of @flashlight and r/Flashlight : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4ZK8Z8hulFg

 

NileRed made a video a while ago about *what* is the metallic smell. Like the one of copper flashlights @flashlight

[OC] Hi ! I live near Lyon, France and this is a map from only my GPS traces from the last 4 years. #map @dataisbeautiful

 

Comparing the 3D beam shapes (and not a side projection on a wall) of the 1 LED + SMO Nitecore MT21C vs the 3 LED + TIR optics of Wurkkos TS10s (4000 K and 3000 K). Using soapy water in a white tub. @flashlight #flashlight
