I've been pretty fascinated with the advancements in flashlights lately, and bought myself a little something for Christmas. The Astrolux S41 uses four Nichia 219B LED's and puts out around 1600 lumens. And since those LED's have a high CRI index (closer in color to sunlight), it seems even brighter. I opted for a larger 3400 mAh battery which required an extension tube to extend the use and make the body actually large enough to hold. Unfortunately everything showed up except the tube, which is pretty much useless, so I ventured into the shop and made a temporary one until the slow boat from China arrives. It's been a while since I've generated any chips just for fun and it felt pretty good. :)
