My wife is in CA right now. I might order an Eafengrow or something we don't have in Austria. Do you have a suggestion for a real nice and practical one?

@@Leo-gt1bx you refer to my cob led strip in the close ups or the LED-setup on the P50?

@@wearandtear6692 The P50. What is the purpose of them? Such a nice looking light but those don't make any sense to me.

@@Leo-gt1bx well, I actually use such color light modes. I do outdoor and bushcraft camps with children and that kind of functionality is great fun for disco evenings.

@@wearandtear6692 Haha that is the last thing I need in a flashlight. You must be one of very few who would have that need. If they were high CRI flood lights it might make sense.

@@Leo-gt1bx The ring also houses warm white high CRI floodlight LEDs. Operable even while the light is charging - that made the deal for me. I have many powerful color LED lights but it is nice that the P50 has them.

The blue is just a stinger, nice. Makes me smile every time ;-)

@@phil2082 yeah, the blue is my backup on the edc backpack, the orange stays in the car. The blue is the best compact thrower I have ever seen. As a thrower is a very specialized tool that is not so often needed in a edc context it is nice to have it very small and light. Agreed, a thrower can do much with little light if you just need to Illuminate a small area. Plus it can always turn floody with any diffusor - vice versa does not work. Also the blue one is ver tactically blindling with the right ui setting. It went off in my pocket and burnt me, lol

@wearandtear6692 Yeah, the light turning on in pocket is an issue solved usually with sensors or having the light pointing out of pocket. No fun there. I'll have mine on edc mode.

@@phil2082 I have it on a 360° rotational holster (NiteIze). Open at the bottom so no big issue there. Putting it into EDC mode contradicts any possible tactical use.

Yes, and very compact. However, I have replaced it with the larger but more capable TD01. Check out that beam: ruclips.net/video/TLIixU38xnc/видео.html and for full review plus different beam colors: ruclips.net/video/hQaxrQX88n4/видео.html If you want a really dedicated thrower with a laser beam the TD01 is even better just not friendly to your pocket ;-)

Likley. Except the lower voltage might lead to a diminished output.

@@wearandtear6692 ah thatz not good; so i will buy some vartha lithiums [non rechargables coz i buyed this torch coz of that which can work with alkalines; but seems then with lithiums also but lower then 1,5 volts]; so thanks man the infos!

With the Acebeam battery cause it is rechargeable and the Varta are not. I would not expect the same performance even with good AA cells.

@@wearandtear6692 thatz about what i am thinking the lithium non-rech. batteries has same power as the rechargables?

@@wearandtear6692 all right if the volt is just 1,5 so not 3,7 probable they are not; but at least the non-rech. lithiums are better then the non-rech [or even rechargable] alkalines?

@@HunGyilok The 1,5V lithium AAs (i.e. Varta, Energizer, ...) can keep the voltage up for much longer so they totally dominate any alkaline (plus they are much lighter, can be stored much longer, don't leak and deal great with cold temps). Non-Lithium rechargeables typically only deliver 1,2V (except perhaps Eneloop). The included lithium-ion cell for sure has more capacity and delivers the max voltage the light can handle. I would have to do an experiment with the standard cell, 2xAA lithium and 2xAA alkaline and maybe even Eneloop. Should I do that?

@@wearandtear6692 yes of course!

@@krapeevids6992 yes, good point. You can buy or build a dummy cell. It is about the voltage range.

@@krapeevids6992 I am not a collector but I use lights a lot as I work night shifts. I really find anything high viz useful.

@@drive-channel1834 Nice! I recently fixed a 2018 Sofirn SP33 with a broken driver board. Now it can serve some more years: facebook.com/share/p/1XGSjt3TvH/

Yeah, blazing orange on my knives and lights is what I prefer these days! No, did not get around to Convoy in quite a while.

@@alfrhju like a minute, timed step-down

Those Varta are 1.5V Lithium batteries, they have the same voltage range as alkaline cells although they offer more capacity and hold the voltage more constant under load. They should me no problem. 14500 on the other hand look like AAs but would damage the light with their higher voltage of course. The Wurkkos WK05 does not have that limitation.

@@wearandtear6692 yea? ok i di not know it ; and they are not rechargables those varta lithiumsZ?

@@HunGyilok no, they are batteries and not rechargeable. They are a 1:1 replacement for alkaline AAs. But far, far superior in every way (way lighter, 2-4x more runtime, cold resistant, storage for many, many years, no leaking) and much more expensive. Perfect for any light that you have to store away for years or emergency critical applications. Those cells don't fail. I have a lotz of them at home and a few in the car, standard alkalines I use for lesser applications.

@@wearandtear6692 so exists varta=-ithium non rechargable thanks! in fact the voltage matters as i see; not more than 1,7 must be? lower

@@wearandtear6692 i did a quick search and they realy say this; so letz see with warta liths thanks!

@@sel6232 cool, its even programable then!

@@wearandtear6692 This must be a joke (blue vs orange). They are exactly the same. 😅 *TAC 2AA* can do both modes regardless of its color. So yes, its _"programmable"._ Really, a quick look at the website and/or the manual before presenting/reviewing a product wouldn't hurt don’t you think so? 🙄

@Raziel_SSJ The blue one has a dedomed LED and a very different beam from the orange one which uses a domed LED. The blue version is a crazy aggressive thrower. Check out the beamshots.

Since when you have a Thermalcam?

For long term storage, very cold temperatures and as backup they are great - especially with lithium instead of alkaline chemistry! The format is nice too fore sure. You trade in runtime/brightness.

@@thesmith2327 since about one year or so. It is a nice tool.

If you ever need it for a project or so you can borrow it.

@@wearandtear6692 thx

I know it looks like Knight Rider as a folder but it is really functional and ergonomic. Good knife, I still carry it.

@ My next Knive, got the Böker Plus Kirke. Love taktikal Designs.

@@bloddyelbow8043 cool, a button lock!

@ Yes 🙌🏽

It becomes more of a trend in flashlights. I have a Olight I would not even know how to disassemble. No way to really get in.

@@Droneboy_praks07 chance is that one of the props got damaged. Hope u can fix it!

No, I got it from a friend who is in the ÖBH - Austrian army. 100 percent the real deal!

It is more a novelty piece. If you get it for a real good price it is pretty cool but nowhere near the claimed lumens!

Yeah!

Hallo, schön mal wieder von dir zu hören! Es geht uns gut! Ja, das ist eines meiner zivilsten Messer ;-)

Great to hear! It's always amazing to see those high quality budget offers!

@@munen-muso I use it since years for camping, just recently in Croatia. It is always in my car - a great tool!

@@islandsurveyor I think I saw it on alieexpress or banggood today for 22. At least for first time customers or so. Prices always fluctuate and my viewers come from all over so I tend not to give links.

@@SnowRaver-p2v mine is not sponsored. I always have an eye out for budget brands. Some of them are a bit messy (even Sofirn/Wurkkos sell some generic stuff) but there is a chance at great or innovative lights as well. Boruit has quite a few nice multi-led lights but the U6 for about 25 is really sweet.

It sinks like a brick made of lead with a neutronium core and all of federal debt tied to it.

@@wearandtear6692 LOL

@@wearandtear6692 Sounds Like the same torch was used at the Titan uboat mission

Sadly not, but similar.

it gradually dims over hours ;-)

£5

Yeah, very cool!

For a recent video job I used the IF23 which is just a bit better thx to the diffusor and the longer runtime. However, the sidelight of the IF24 is still very, very helpful to light up scenes.

@@CraigTodd-x9d 100% Eafengrow is just hard to get in Europe. I recently discovered "Flissa" and besides that I have a budget miracle in the testing cycle right now. Thx for your comment!

@@wearandtear6692 Do y'all not have Amazon in Europe? 🤔

@@CraigTodd-x9d Haha, even if we lived under a rock amazon would still deliver. Eafengrow is just not present on amazon.de

@@neilmapula194 The effect outdoor is so much better than cold light. Also the c version holds max brightness much better and greatly benefits from water and cold air transfering heat away.
