You know it’s a funny thing I used to buy so much stuff from MassDrop but ever since they became Drop I don’t think I have made a single purchase. I wonder why that is?
Love2FishIncredibly limited offerings these days and the prices are basically what you would pay elsewhere.
(Mass)drop appears to be a good deal for international customers sometimes - depending on shipping charges.
floidsterPretty much all of the good flashlight companies are in China. Maglite? Thats garbage compared to things like Thrunite, Armytek, Sofirn, etc.
Check on the flashlights subreddit, or BLF. Even when BLF partners with an OEM to make their incredible lights its with an OEM in China because they can do it right for the right cost.
I have one of these and I actually like it more than I thought I would. Impressive output, easy to carry, nice beam. The OLED screen is kind of a gimmick but still pretty neat. My only complaints are the buttons kind of feel "cheap" although they work just fine. I went with the grey color which I love, but the chrome trim also kind of cheapens the overall feel. The black is probably much more professional. Most annoying is the screws holding on the belt clip don't sit flush so it can be tricky getting it to clip into the pocket, but the flip side of this is it's more secure. Overall it's a pretty awesome little light that packs quite the punch for it's size. I carry it in my pocket every day.
I care. It's fine if you choose not to care, but you prolly wanna be more careful distinguishing between laziness and sensibility. I mean, does your car start with a key, or a handcrank? Does your place have a dishwasher even though it also has a sink? A microwave even though it has a stove? Do you own any electronic device with a remote control? I'm sure there's a LOT more applicable examples where that come, considering that you're here reading these words in an online gadget store. Yet you don't think these are indications of laziness so much as simple timesavers in a busy life, right? Good, because that's the point.
Where I'm coming from: I plug in my phone every day -- it takes micro USB. I plug in my iPad every day -- it takes USB C. I have to fuss with my phone, just like I have to fuss with my headset and my bluetooth speaker and anything else I have that charges on USB micro. To that point I think regular USB and micro USB are bad designs and people place a lot of unnecessary wear and tear on them trying to connect them properly. And I like USB C because I'm not screwing up the cable OR the port and I'm not wasting time, stopping whatever train of thought I had going in order to focus in on a pointless menial task. Instead I'm setting my iPad down, grabbing the cable, slotting it, and going on my way.
I suppose if there were some sort of quality difference to using a micro USB -- for instance it charged faster, or placed less wear and tear on the connection, or the like -- I'd use it by preference, for the same reason I brew coffee in a French press instead of an automatic setup, the same reason I'm willing to spend hours screwing around with a pocket knife in order to achieve a minor improvement in its function. But there is no such quality difference to the function of charging, only the difference in the amount of screwing around.
Two cents -- keep all the change. :)
Electron 'spin' is different from normal spin because while, say, a baseball only needs to 'revolve' 360 degrees to turn all the way around, it turns out that you need to 'spin' an electron a full 720 degrees before it completes a single full revolution and the bit of it that was facing you to begin with is facing you again.
This sounds freaky and hard to visualize but thankfully we have the example of USB cables as something you can try one way, then flip 180 degrees and try another way, and flip again and try again, then flip one more time and suddenly it fits into the slot, just so.
This is a tough one. I think it's too big for a key-chain light, and it's too "boxy" to pocket, but the features are interesting to me. If I used it in place of my TINI, 9 times out 10 (maybe even more) I wouldn't go above the 65 lumen setting, and more likely than not, I wouldn't go above the 15 lumen setting. I use the TINI on a lanyard to make sure I don't break my toes when I get up to go to the head at night, and I've never set that above the low setting (whatever lumen measurement that actually is). I'm trying to justify getting in on this drop because, generally-speaking, I like Nitecore's mini-lights a lot, but I can't see this for EDC (my Olight S1 Baton fills that bill quite nicely) or for anything but sitting on a table somewhere in the house waiting for a random need to arise to use it. We do live out in the country and sometimes have to chase armadillos away, or coons stealing the dog's food, so maybe this would make a good front-door area light. I don't know. Guess I'll follow this discussion and see what others have to say who are using them now.
bmengineerI only mentioned it because it's advertised as a key-chain light, or at least mentioned in the Overview as a potential use for it.
A square box is similar in shape to a cylinder? That's news to me.
