why nobody review the flash light in daytime? everything is bright at night. but daytime actually gives the idea of how bright it is compare to the landscape
I saw this a few months ago and today I’m finally going to try it but I’ve already done the vinegar method multiple times I’m gonna try just Coke Coca-Cola and a mixture of Coca-Cola vinegar and water
very nice - I just received a new, shiny one (for now). Is that a 2 part treatment - coke then vinegar, or can you use straight vinegar. I'm looking at using a cold bluing, but I like the look of this even better. I assume the Coke is for the phosphoric acid - have you tried using a straight phosphoric acid - I think a higher concentration of that acid could be great and may allow one to skip the vinegar. THis is just a guess on my part - never tried it. Phosphoric acid is used in traditional HOT bluing methods along with HCl
I had the V1.0 and was quite impressed with it. Lasted over 2 years with eh same battery, dropped it accidently numerous times and survived like a boss. Unfortunately one night it seems I left it inside of one of our mobile plant machines and it disappeared overnight. The torch and the mobile plant machine were stolen. So I had to replace the V1.0 and I decided on the V2.0. As with the previous version, it was built like a tank. my ONLY issue was the heat issue on Turbo mode. You only tested it for 2 minutes. Maybe you should have done a 5 minutes test. Had you done the 5 min test, you would have seen that the torch was dangerously hot. Not only was the torch too hot to hole, the batteries were extremely hot which I fear could explode if the torch was left to run for longer than 5 mins on Turbo mode. I would not recommend this torch for someone who plans to use it at full power for prolonged periods. Another con for this torch compared to the previous model is the length of the body. They shortened it dramatically and it feels a little toy like in your hands. Holding it in your hand with your thumb pointing forward causes your thumb to sit almost over the end of the lens hood which when in turbo mode is unbearable due to the extreme heat. Other than the great throw of the beams and build quality. the heat issue os a major deal breaker for me. Had I know about the heat issue. I would have not bought this V2.0 version.
How secure is the magnetic mount? I'm always hesitant on buying the Timeback III because the head doesn't screw on securely and am afraid of losing it should I somehow knock it off.
