I’ll be honest: the community was not created by me but I was added after a short time as moderator. I didn’t want to edit anything its creator put in place, but thanks for your input, may be due for a refresh!

I have the feeling you’re not really reading what I’m writing, you want to clash instead of discuss, but I’ll go on: I fully agree that taking him in custody and pressuring him to close unwanted channels is wrong and can deter startups and investments in the social network field in Europe, but Russia is a real threat and they are using all the tools possible to manipulate opinion (in Moldova for example) and create chaos. So pretty understandable that the French tried it. But he puts it like Europe and Russia are on the same level of media and chat control, and they are not. Nonetheless, there is a drift in that direction and we should uphold the free speech rights. All in all, I welcome his message!

The message (which appears as a banner in the Telegram app, too) is filled with overhyped “news” and generalization regarding freedom of speech. Since him being stopped and investigated in France, he’s gone pretty unhinged on freedom of speech, disregarding the complexity of governing bodies and the real effect of information without bounds.

He makes valid points and I’m not defending anyone, but he oversimplifies and misreads some topics.

I recently heard a podcast “interview” of him by Lex Fridman and - while he’s for sure extremely intelligent and talented - it looks like he’s been infected with the “philosophical fit-bro ultra-liberist elitarianism” disease that is all the rage now, unfortunately.

Ok this pretty much sets it

This is a good point, Wurkkos is an established seller but nothing is granted

Yeah the two folding arms don’t look too good. A dedicated work light as you describe seems a better choice. This “multilight” tries to do too much with very few benefits.

People remain people. Look at the bright moments and exchanges and don’t get carried away by bad experiences. A thick skin is always good in any public and shared setting.

It begs only one question: can it slice prosciutto thin enough? Dealbreaker feature for me

Oh I’m really sorry, didn’t realise at all. I copied the link from the webpage I opened through the andurilify mail service.

I try to remove the parameter.

Edit: done, should be working with no affiliate appendices. I will double check from now on!

Are you looking for an echo chamber that fits your views or what do you mean with “tolerate”? If you keep it civil and back up your arguments, I see a lot of potential for serious discussions on a lot of instances.

Yeah, navigating Hanks website is a challenge! Nice choice, I have the Q8 Pro and the Plus looks like a nice upgrade compared to that. Also saw the banner, unfortunate… try JLhawaii for future Hank purchases, maybe he has good stock on some lights?

M44 Meteor? It’s something like a successor to the D18, with better optics and driver. Also available as dual channel.

Really resisting the urge to get new flashlights lately. But if it’s for free… I can make an exception! Joining the giveaway :)

They did :) Even with the preorder complication and the choice of emitter by email, got everything right and fast.

The switch is out of metal, with LED indicator in the middle (blue as the idle color, red or green while charging I think)

That must be it, I wasn’t smart enough to link the actual image URL, I linked the post as you wrote 😆

Interesting tip on linking the url, I will try it. Tested it in the past but I think I did something different and didn’t work as I hoped

Nov-Mu V2 on its way, if a mule, then this I would say! Everyone seems to love this light.

I just ignore the existence of E07x Canon because if I just open its webpage I would end ordering it, too :D Hopefully it can be modded to make the beam pattern work with dedomed 519a - I also like a nice, even beam!

Yeah the output with 4000K could be a letdown, espetially if the tint is greenish. Maybe I’ll change to the FFL emitter, but I really want to try out the 70.3. Maybe it won’t be the right host after all, I would like to drive it with as much current it can take! Does someone have suggestions on the best host for a 70.3 - high output wall of light, good sustain? The Convoy hosts (L6?) look very interesting.

Nice “black and white” collection you have there! Cool to see the two different and very characteristic styles from Hank and FF side by side.

I have a Nov-Mu V2 in fossil grey on the way and the color looks awesome in pictures, with the marbled texture up close. For the X1L I’m debating, but I think I’ll go with matte black for the contrast with the shiny gloss of the stainless steel parts - unfortunately no clip in glossy black, but I will take it out eventually.

I’m glad you report no issues with your lights!
