I put it in an Acebeam Pokelit Ti and tested runtime on high. There was a considerable improvement: 190 minutes instead of 166.

There's a new highest-capacity 14500 battery, but it falls a bit short of advertised.

NKD: Kershaw Livewire

I've wanted a Livewire for a while, and I'm going to be somewhere it's legal to carry for a while so I picked one up used. OTF knives are often optimized for the preferences of the mall ninja crowd more than for practical utility, but this one seems to strike a good balance.

Initial impressions of the Convoy S21E as a bike light

I've been running my Convoy S21E (B35A 4500K, 20x65 striped TIR) as a bike light for a week or so now. I find it's a big upgrade from the Wuben B2 I had been using because the beam is a more suitable shape, and it doesn't throttle if I keep my speed up.

Of course if it doesn't throttle, runtime is 73 minutes, but it's 73 minutes of 1500 lumens of glorious 97 CRI simulated daylight. I'll bring spare batteries.

@flashlight So far it's looking like the 20x65 has a much harder vertical cutoff than the rest, which is desirable to avoid blinding other road users. The 10x65 and 15x30 don't focus all that well.

I put a Nichia 719A in a C8

This is an old XinTD C8. That's a retired brand from Hank Wang of Emisar fame; Convoy is the place to get a C8 these days, and they'll even pre-install the 719A (or just about any other LED you could possibly want).

It's 3000K, high-CRI and about 500m FL1 throw. I like it.

More changes:

Replaced Sofirn IF22A with Wurkkos TD01C. The regulated buck driver is much more efficient and doesn't dim as the battery drains in medium modes. It also has more throw.

Added Zebralight SC700d HI.

Re-added Reylight Pineapple Mini.

Added Skilhunt EC200S Mini.
