Oh, oh my god. I just saw this community and I feel like every single one of you will understand my ire upon replacing a 6volt battery in one of those old flashlights, right, and thinking hey, fuck yeah, this beefy fucker's gotta be lit, right?
WRONG.
Damn thing was dim as shit. LEDs win. Thank y'all for your service.
Yup. LEDs are amazing. Changed everything for the better. TVs, home lighting, car lighting, PC FPS, etc.
Those old lights have bonk factor though.
I got myself a big Sofirn dive light for the bonk factor 😄
The Convoy L7 also has some bonk factor. Can't ever go wrong with bonk factor!
Yes, one of those might have to be on my next Convoy order...
Or the L8...
