    We need to talk about Olight

    I own dozens of Olights. I love their design, reliability, ultra premium feel, and super high efficiency drivers. However, I hate the LED option. They are all CW, no high CRI. The few times they offer NW and WW options, the tint is horrible, positive DUV, greenish yellowish mess. I tried many...

    New Fireflylite Flashlights arrived! They are absolutely amazing!

    The FFL351A is not as warm as the DD 519A 4500k. I have the DD 4500k and I like that one too but I think the two are different enough that it's hard to compare. Another thing I didn't mention is the new FF drivers have no PWM, which is something sought after by many flashlight enthusiasts

    New Fireflylite Flashlights arrived! They are absolutely amazing!

    What is so special? It has one of the most efficient if not most efficient flashlight drivers in existence. They are either buck or boost drivers designed by Loneocean. Some of these LUME drivers reach about 98% efficiency iirc at the peak efficiency range, basically would be categorized as 80+...

    I don't have an Opple. I measured using the Sekonic C-800-U. But I recall the LUME drivers that FF uses don't use PWM

    New Fireflylite Flashlights arrived! They are absolutely amazing!

    I own between 500 to 700 flashlights and I have to say these new FF lights are some of the best I've seen. Fireflies have always been my favorite flashlight maker because they are willing to try new features craved by the hardcore flashlight geeks and push boundaries unlike the typical...

    THE LOUNGE 2023

    Vinh if I provide you a host like https://www.acebeam.com/ec65, which uses 4x XHP35 12V, would you be able to use the 7xXHP50.3 emitters board to create a mule or is it only compatible with 3V emitters?

    THE LOUNGE 2023

    I also feel like after COVID, the flashlight scene quiet down tremendously. Nowadays, everyone rather play on their phones, tablets, or computers instead of flashlights. I wish more people are into the flashlight hobby, which would give manufacturers more incentives to R&D even better flashlight...

    THE LOUNGE 2023

    Buck/boost? That would make the lights so much more efficient and the output regulation allow the lights to be tools rather than just toys. After using Olights and Fireflies recent lights with the LUME1 driver, there's no going back to direct drive or 7135 drivers. Loneocean's LUME1 driver is...

    Lights You Want Me To Mod

    The Wuben X-0 looks incredible. If it can be modded with triple or quad 519A would be amazing https://zeroair.org/2022/07/01/wuben-x-0-knight-flashlight-review/

    The Lounge 2022

    Seems like everyone who use the 519A dedomes them because the tint is much more rosy after dedoming and I believe R9 and RG also goes up. Good thing is that they are extremely easy to dedome so the outcome is consistent. Once I gather the lights I want for Vinh to mod with the 519A, I will send...

    The Lounge 2022

    I'm going to send in an Olight Seeker 3 Pro. Love the rotary switch but just don't like the auto-lockout. Will think of a few others to send in.
