After showing off my Copper D4v2 e17a 1850k "pocket candle" to him, he was sold immediately. He tends to dive into different hobbies head-first, so him buying two right off the bat is no surprise. Looks like he snapped one of his o-rings out of excitement. :DDD Sorry, no beamshots yet!

I'm just glad I could share the love of flashlights with someone who can appreciate it as much as I do. Big thanks to all you guys for being such a cool community!

Saw this post on "All". I'm not part of the community, but I'm curious on what's the deal here? I looked into this "hanklight" for FOMO. I don't get it. I've bought similar flashlights with similar brightness, metal construction, colored leds, etc. for under $10. None of the materials or tech is expensive to produce. Why pay >= $50 for these hanklights?

Color accuracy, standard 18650 batteries (rechargeable,replaceable,and better than disposable batteries), LED brightness (incredibly bright), and a firmware that allows you to change settings on the flashlight are all big reasons we enjoy these lights rather than big box flashlights.
