Zombie: “Rawrrr” munch munch nom nom

Will: “Get my wife’s arm out of your fucking mouth!”

</low hanging fruit>

I pre-ordered an X1L the first day, along with an E07x 519a and a T1R, then offered in a 5050 Yinding emitter which got changed to the new FFL505A before shipping.

I already have a NOV-Mu from last year, didn’t see a need to get the new one. Also skipped the X1S, I don’t really care about pocket throwers and only got the T1R because the Yinding emitter sounded interesting, then stuck it out to see what was up with the FFL505A.

I also snagged a couple more E12r (making a total of 4 that I own). Known quantities that I really enjoy, that I expect will never be seen again.

The E07x Canon is very well built and sustains like nobody’s business, but unfortunately the beam suffers a bit once you dedome the emitters. Apparently the optic sits a bit high for domeless emitters, some have been sanding down the shelf that holds the optic in place. Not a huge thing, but a step backwards from the previous generation. Admittedly I’m super picky that way.

The T1R with the new emitter is lots of concentrated pink. Some will think it’s great, others like me will find it a bit much. Seems to be a little better in the X1S.

I have high hopes for the X1L. The Zeroair review shows somewhat disappointing output compared to expectations, but the white wall beamshots appear immaculate, and that’s a priority for me. And I am a huge admirer of the work Loneoceans has done designing the past couple generations of drivers.

Tough. I jacket-pocket-carry a Fireflies E07 2021 (non-pro) and it gets pulled out often briefly at work, but I have another Fireflies light sitting by my front door (E12R) that gets used 3 or 4 times daily for dog walks after dark and moving sprinklers around at night in the summer.

Most hours award goes to a D4Sv2 in my kitchen, it ceiling-bounces for 30 minutes every morning before dawn while I make coffee, feed the dog, make lunch etc. I just recently swapped out a tint-ramper with SST-20 2700k/4000k for a single channel with a boost driver and three 2700k with single 4000k. Good call for this usage, the boost driver lets it sit at top of ramp for said 30 minutes and barely get warm.

I’m the same way, nothing but black or gray with different buttons to tell them apart.

Daily. Work in a warehouse that has a few dark corners, repair equipment that I want to see better. At home I do things like move sprinklers around after dark or take the trash out to the can at the alley, also keep a light at my nightstand if I need to get up late at night. Have a warm light for making coffee in the winter months when I need to get ready for work before dawn.

Was so tempted to get an LT1S Pro just for Anduril, but honestly I like the original emitters a lot. Couple of great snags for sure 👍

I have both, E12r all the way due mostly to the better driver and optic. Plus I also like how it’s visually smaller due to the way the button area is flat rather than angled. (Some speak highly of the angled button’s ergonomics though so ymmv.) Another thing is the smooth ramping on my E12c isn’t very smooth at all.

Ha I bought a pair of the Olight universal magnetic chargers before they got discontinued, they work on anything they’re just slow.
