[Review] SkyRC MC5000 battery charger and analyzer – a worthy successor to the MC3000?
Looking for reliable "all around" flashlight in the ~$100 price range
Pretty overwhelming to try and pick one from the hundreds and hundreds of options out there. What I’m looking for: - Reliablility - Not an EDC light per se, but I’d like it to fit in a pocket when needed - USB-C charging and removable battery - Good battery life - A tool, not a toy - The simpler the UI, the better - all I basically need is moonlight mode and around three brightness settings - Adjustable beam would be nice - Bonus: one-click turbo mode (for self-defense) So basically, something that’s not too bulky to carry around, but something I’d be glad to have with me if I were stranded in a dark forest and kept hearing scary noises around me. ChatGPT recommended the Fenix PD35 V3.0, though it doesn’t have an adjustable beam.

Watching the flashlights warm up with my new thermal camera (Zoyi ZT-R01)
Got this inexpensive thermal camera (which is also a multimeter!) for a review recently. Although it is not a high-end device, the resolution of 32 × 32 pixels (with high resolution camera overlay) is absolutely sufficient for many applications – and a lot of fun as well! Finally I’m able to see how my flashlights warm up. Flashlights in the pictures are: Skilhunt EC200, EC500 and M200 V4 — If you are interested in the review of the Zoyi ZT-R01, you can find it here: English review at BudgetLightForum [https://budgetlightforum.com/t/228673] German review on my website [https://www.sammyshp.de/betablog/post/199] — [https://www.sammyshp.de/betablog/uploads/Zoyi_ZT-R01_flashlight_warmup.png] [https://www.sammyshp.de/betablog/uploads/20250412_Zoyi_ZT-R01_P1050960.jpg] [https://www.sammyshp.de/betablog/uploads/20250412_Zoyi_ZT-R01_P1050608.jpg]

Review: Acebeam EC20 - an everyday carry flashlight that tries to bridge the mainstream and hobbyist markets
#flashlight #flashlights #EDC #EveryDayCarry #review @flashlight
<p>The Acebeam EC20 is an 18650-powered everyday carry light with three main LEDs, colored secondaries, and a magnetic tailcap. It strikes me as an attempt to bring the hobbyist features of brands like Emisar and Fireflies to a more mainstream audience using a simpler user interface and a protected battery with a USB-C port.</p>
It's a sad day, my trusty D4V2 has vanished
Review: Skilhunt H200 - an all-purpose right-angle headlamp with white and red
The Skilhunt H200 is a midsize right-angle flashlight and headlamp with two white LEDs and one red, powered by an 18650 size Li-ion rechargeable battery recharged internally with a USB-magnetic cable. The right-angle light is perhaps the most versatile category of flashlight since it can be used as a handheld flashlight, a headlamp, clipped to gear or clothing, or attached to surfaces with its magnetic tailcap. Someone who wants one flashlight for all use cases will be well served by a light like this, as long as none of those use cases involves illuminating things much past 100m.
