It was hard for him to avoid. Thank you for relieving the pressure.

Ohhhh, if that's the case I'll take it if I ever get into that situation.
I didn't even realize it was single mode... it almost gives me complete dollar store vibes.
Thats a good point. I agree that lumens aren't everything, but when those emitters have so much potential yet are held at 70-80 lumens, I WANT the range that the emitters can produce. I don't carry a 4000 lumen flashlight for the full 4000 lumens. I carry it for the 50 or 200 or 800 lumens it can also produce... but I'll be damned if I don't have the 4000 lumens when I need them.
The emitters obviously have the ability to get brighter, and we've seen it on other lights of similar size, but the fact that a Hank light lacks customization is kind of a kick in the groin. It doesn't follow why I go to Hank for my favorite lights.
It does get expensive... glances at my $500 of flashlights
But if olight works for you, go for it. I've never owned an olight so I cannot offer a proper comparison, but sofirn has a lot of really good option that are usbc rechargeable, have magnetic tail caps, and are easily 1000-4000 lumens. Sofirn also operates on anduril which is an open source ui for flashlights that can be very complex yet has a lot more versatility.
Oh jeez... if you think olight is good, check out sofirn or intl-outdoor.com . There is a whole WORLD of flashlights and olight is the laughing stock, my good sir. Go find the flashlight group on lemmy and you'll never look back.
But I agree with this guy, my 4000 lumen titanium D4V2 is always in my pocket. Way quicker than fumbling with your phone and provides way more usable light too.
Thank you
Yeah, let's try to support each other
I'm gonna watch your memes.
I'm with the first dude
Yeah, I still remember watching him with my dad at night before bed. Great memories, but now he seems like a wannabe Mr. Beast...
