A bunch of miscellaneous stuff for my fox body build. I've been scrambling to buy whatever parts I think I may need in the coming weeks, since so many parts are on backorder. In the last week I've ordered the Holley ignition harnesses, crank position sensor, throttle body, intake elbow, blow off valve, and boost control solenoids.

This one?

 

[Pewter-Camaro]

bought an old Nikon 35-70 f2.8. $180. I’d love to get a modern one but f2.8 glass is stupid expensive.

Agreed. $84 is a lot for a flashlight but I’m cheap lol

Can you post links for the better flashlights?

 

[Spivitz]

Marko


Yes Sir
Its bright

 

[Marko]

I like the recharable usb cord.

Anker Bolder series. Most are USB rechargeable.

I have a bunch of the LC-40, LC-90 and LC-90 2-cell.

 

[SpeedSpeak2me]

I’ve also got their P2 penlight.

The two 90’s can be focus/flood. The P2 and 40 are fixed.

Zero complaints with all the ones I’ve got, or the ones I’ve bought for others.

Thx man. I know there’s a thread about flashlights. But just did a quick search. Found this one.

I mean you still have to factor in price for an 18650 battery and charger if you don't have one....but anything from this site is solid stuff.

LED Flashlight-INTL Outdoor Store

Youll have to pick out the Tint and LED type, the tint is just like cars and house bulbs (cool white=higher K, warmer = lower K)

LED type depends on what you want.

CRI is color accuracy. like how those cheap ass led lights are bluish...that is really inaccurate when pointed on something colorful. I posted a chart below showing a high CRI LED vs normal.

SST20 = higher CRI, less top Lumen brightness
XP-L =Less CRI, Higher Top Lumen brightness usually cooler tint (white to blue)
E21A = Good for low power, indoor and up close applications.

If I want fuck you bright, I go XP-L. If I want color accuracy, I go SST. SST can still be bright as fuck, but XP-L will get you a couple extra hundred lumens usually.

The E21A in a very warm tint, 2000-2700k, looks like using a real candle light flame, but led. It is pretty cool.

Olight makes good rechargable stuff.

FW3A is another good flashlight model.

Cheap budget 18650 would be a convoy S2+ or the newer ones. They are like the honda's of flashlights, tons of aftermarket and mods.

That’s one I’ve looked at a few times but never got. The price jump from the LC90/LC90-2cell to the 1300 was too steep for the increase and loss of being able to focus, er, zoom it.

The smaller P2 and 40 also have a nice metal clip on them for carrying them around.

 

[Lord Tin Foilhat]

see how the lower CRI light is brighter? but if you look closely, the colors are different all around the picture and the left looks more "real life" color wise.

 

[Spivitz]

So I should had conferred with my tech homies before purchase.

Next time, I'll be sure to inquire.

I satisfied myself with the price thinking about my $90 benchmade knife


That I first heard of and immediately fell in love with on

There’s so many to choose from. Just so it has the 18650 battery with usb charger. And at least 1k lumens

[SpeedSpeak2me]

Oh, Lord Tin Foilhat is by far the more knowledgeable expert on the lights. I stumbled across the Anker on some promo when they first launched and got the LC90 for like $20. For cost they’re hard to beat.

Yes. Lord Tin Foilhat is

I went down a flashlight rabbit hole a few years ago...I stopped right before actually taking apart the LEDs/drivers and soldering/modding them.

Before you had to know someone or get someone on the flashlight forums to mod other lights to get options like standby leds, aftermarket firmware and other extra features. That one store I linked the guy basically does the mods and sells finished models without all the hoops. I have 3 from him and all have been top notch. Still pissed I lost one


I am also a big magnetic tail fan. A majority of my lights have magnetic bottoms just because it makes it so convenient to be able to stick it to anything metal and have 2 free hands.

Again, I posted this before and got blasted because "it's too big and cumbersome" (that's what she said), but I really like these FatMax's. I have three of them now. They're simple, they're 2,200 lumens, $~50 which is comparable and again, I find them more versatile than just as a flashlight. I know it'll get pissed all over, but they work great.
