Where should I post a thread about a modified Makita light I put together, or similar such lights? Also, how to best photograph upgrade results?

I don't see any categories like "work light," or "tool light," or "power tool battery" so I'm not sure if there is a specific place to post about either strange tool battery powered lights, like the Dr Suessian Worx brand lithium light I imported from Germany, or a Makita DML185 incandescent and the cheap practically drop in upgrade(reflector and led with driver circuit) I found for it? Also, as I now have two Makita DML185 lights, one simply came with a Milwaukee 18v led bayonet drop in with the stock reflector, I can get comparative photos modded, and unmodded with/without the standard led drop in deficiencies, but I'm not sure if there is a preference for demonstrating beam pattern, or light output differences, or if I should just point both at the ceiling in the same frame.

Others will chime in about the 'right' subforum soon enough.

Welcome to the rabbit hole.

Ominous... Did I already start a flame war?

No. Just that the light 'subculture' will take you as deep and you want to go.

I've got one of these makita lights, looking to upgrade it, and can't find much info. did you ever end up posting pics of beam patterns/output?
