The Lounge 2021

[Skylumen]

We are getting used to the new work load. In another month I should be back to work at 80% load. ;-)

Lately I have found red and very warm LEDs the best for the baby room. I have like 10 lights that I rotate ceiling bounce with between both rooms that the baby stay in. Flashlights are great for this job as I can move them around the room and angle them just right. I a a huge cool white fan but lately I have found less and less uses for cool white other than dedicated throwers and sometime massive flood lights just for the bit of extra wow factor when showing off. But for any real use I prefer warmer tint. Even 3000K in some situations. This is kind of scary. Feels like I am getting old.

That's how i became hi cri 3500-4500 fan.
I'd suggest even 660nm deep red to add in the mix.

vinh, congrats on the cute addition! I got into flashlights and watches with tritium (have 5 Ball watches) when we had our first child, since he was a light sleeper, colicky even and I needed to rock him to sleep every night for an hour! that was 15 years ago!! cherish the present even though it is rough, take lots of videos, my kids still love the cute vids I took of them and frequently request that I play them.

What does SDCE mean? I see it offered on some of the newer offerings from Vinh.

Shave Dome Cut Edge

Shave Dome = More throw
Cut Edge = mitigate yellow corona

Hello All!

New Sky Lumen most important light list. I will try to add and take away from this list as time goes on.
https://skylumen.com/pages/sky-lumens-best

Added a new Feedback record page. Please please stop by and leave me a comment on your past experience. Good or bad I promise to not delete.
https://skylumen.com/pages/feedback

I added more qualifiers for my special Promotion.

Updated the About Us to include our newest family member ;-)

LM10vn copper: Triple W2.1 with modified optics tuned for max throw is my most fav set up of all. Throws incredible with good output. This triple in this light makes for a nice collectible.
https://skylumen.com/collections/v54-lights/products/lumintop-lm10vn-copper-limited-run

GTvn Mico Brass: Man does it look like a chunk of gold. Makes a great gift IMO.
https://skylumen.com/collections/v54-lights/products/lumintop-gtvn-micro-brass-limited-run

X9Lvn Copper for me is a must have for sure. Yeah its heavy but I love this light so having it in copper is a special kind of cool.
https://skylumen.com/collections/v54-lights/products/lumintop-x9lvn-copper-limited-run

EDCvn: EDC doesnt get any easier than this. 1300L is nuts for something this tiny. I dont think any smaller put out this much output.
https://skylumen.com/collections/v5...top-edcvn-smallest-brightest-aaa-size-light-r

G1vn: Kinda fun but not my cup of tea. May be I am just not a fan of any light with the 14500 other than the micro. Even that I rather have the Micro reflector in a 18650 light.

Pimi is sooo cute! I wished they named it Preemie instead! ahah
https://skylumen.com/collections/v54-lights/products/lumintop-pimi-smallest-keychain-copper-light

PerunVN2: Quickly becoming my most fav headlight. Not sure what more to ask from a headlight. Actually, I use it more as an angle light for Viet's room.
https://skylumen.com/collections/v5...t-perunvn-2-21700-anglelight-headlamp-thrower

HC35vn: Still not use to the UI although I use it every single night. I like the tint too much so I kind of have to put up with the UI.
https://skylumen.com/collections/v54-lights/products/nitecore-hc35vn-21700-anglelight-headlamp-r

KR1vn Fiat Lux: If this one doesnt sell soon I wil just keep it. What a thrower for the tiny size.
https://skylumen.com/collections/v54-lights/products/one-off-kr1vn-fiat-lux-max-throw

PreonVN Ti: Pricey but I paid more for it and the polishing job took forever. This is the light I really want to keep but cant justify the price.
https://skylumen.com/collections/v54-lights/products/one-off-foursevens-preonvn-ti

MT01vn: I still prefer W2.1 but XHP50.2 SDCE sure makes impressive number. This optics makes all the LED impressive in it.
https://skylumen.com/collections/v54-lights/products/mateminco-mt01vn-26650-compact-tir-thrower-r

TK04vn: Ummm...It s alright. hahah
https://skylumen.com/collections/v54-lights/products/mateminko-tk04vn-budget-high-output-thrower

Mk34vn II: Most Fav flooder to date.
https://skylumen.com/collections/v54-lights/products/manker-mk34vn-ii-2021-pocket-flood-king-r

MK37vn: If you haven't gotten one you should.

Thats all for now! Cheers!

Vinh can you mod the KR1 with the Lume driver and 4000k GT FC-40 emitter like this?

The times change, but only one and the same Spirit of Light and Love!

Very cool photos. That middle one shows the same expression Vinh gives in his videos sometimes! Looks like the precursor to a flashlight in his hands.
Great shot of your dad: shows good spirit.
Another shot of Viet that conveys the eyes of a keen observer, with an abundance of sound reasoning.

I kiss him a million times a day despite many saying its not good for him.

I really like the polished Rustic
