@cobysev @GraniteM I have a french version from 1942 and modded it with a pretty low power, 2700~3000 K single LED drop-in, and more importantly a 18650 battery with integrated USB charging. I built a cheap 2D-18650 adapter by hollowing a piece of wood from the bottom and putting a flat-cut screw through the top to make contact. My grandpa use it and is happy with it. Way more runtime, bit more light, same temp.
@mp3 my little sister (21) just now: "I want that!"
Thanks, I now have an excuse to buy them :D
(And 519A-mod them before gifting them)

Also dec 8 in Lyon, FR, is a historical festivity all about illuminations.
@fujiwood Messy at the start! https://www.reddit.com/r/flashlight/comments/171lkvk/first_messy_try_at_modding_wip/
Then, since I purchased the LED already soldered on a MCPCB, I desoldered the stock one, ground a bit the new one to fit, soldered the wires back on the new MCPCB and voilĂ . Changed the thermal paste too.
@Krzak first of all this is an historical french city so the blocs and streets are very small and narrow compared to US cities. It is also a fairly small part of the city showing most of the tracks, and it is very walkable. Lots of things to do and people to see there, so busy heatmap.
@ouigol I work in live video for live events, I often need to look into dark backstage, dark technical cases and often work night time. I used to have a headlamp, then I bought a angleable magnetic flashlight to light up the back of trucks while load-in or load-out, or just general dark backstage. Working in video, I was not a fan of shitty light quality, so I progressively upgraded thanks to r/flashlight.
@flashlight for those asking why I'm not on the pictures, working with the others, I was going back and forth from the stage with equipment, because the stage and backstage are 1,10m above the floor, and van, with no elevator or stairs nearby :D
