Odear???? The jokes write themselves!


amodrenman

I'm glad someone already said this.

That still leaves the question, "What lights did you bring?" No true flashaholic would leave home without packing some lumens.


chitownburgerboy

Just my edc, a copper/ti fwaa with a 519a 5700k dd/3000k dd mix

> edc, a copper/ti fwaa with a 519a 5700k dd/3000k dd mix I just love how any more or less technical hobby eventually (d?)evolve into this kind of language :)


hawkiee552

For outsiders that looks like a gibberish serial/product number


Bullstrongdvm

One year ago this would have made as much sense to me as: ["The main winding was of the normal lotus-o-delta type placed in panendermic semi-boloid slots of the stator, every seventh conductor being connected by a non-reversible tremie pipe to the differential girdle spring on the “up” end of the grammeters."](https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=aW2LvQUcwqc)

O' Dear, When a light has the word 'bright' written on it, you know it's bottom of the barrel stuff.


MaikeruGo

In parentheses like an Acme product in a Wile E. Coyote cartoon no less!


Interesting_Scar_588

In 2pt type: "Product may not be effective on road runners."

Just looking at the picture of that hotspot hurts my eyes. Roast a chicken in the middle and paint the wall by the rest.


blueskin

Yeah, that's like if I aim my K1 at a nearby wall. That's an outdoor light, not an indoor light.


Mouth-Pastry

Makin that wall look like it has inconsistent tan lines.


timelord276

Looks like it's rated for [6000 lumens and 800m of throw](https://www.amazon.com/Odear-Searchlight-Rechargeable-Multi-function-Flashlight/dp/B079DKY2RX/). Wonder if the real numbers are anywhere near those.


diamondd-ddogs

like the chinese 18650 batteries that claim 5000mah when reputable Japanese brands can only manage 3400 for some reason.....perhaps the chinese have some super secret technology no one else knows about in order to get these impossible numbers. i always figured if your going to lie about a product, at least make it believable, but i guess that's not their business model.


aquoad

i saw a chinese “5000 mAH” 18650 that had a 10440 size cell inside it and the rest was full of sand.


diamondd-ddogs

that's it! sand is the secret!


Alvendam

5000? Weak shit! Got an 8800mAh right here :D Dead af and I'd unwrap it, to check what's inside, but I'm genuinely scared. Edit: [A photo of the mighty "X-BAL⚡G®"](https://i.imgur.com/75z5gZu.jpg)

diamondd-ddogs

its like they are in competition with each other as to who can dare to lie worse lol


eldergeekprime

I prostrate myself at the feet of such greatness. I am unworthy.


blueskin

You're telling me those ebay/amazon/aliexpress 20 million lumen lights are fake? /s


Zen_Diesel

Like most [no label] chinese products drop one or two zeros off the end.


Zak

Likely around 1000 lumens. The throw is probably about what's advertised.


officialbigrob

Yeah that body doesn't look like it could handle the heat 6k would produce.


blueskin

Oh dear indeed.


AndyPanda321

I literally lol'd at that beam shot! Stick some frosted film on it and it might make a good work lamp if there is a decent sized battery in it!


chitownburgerboy

That thing weighed about as much as my fwaa, there’s no way it has a decent battery lol


AndyPanda321

Probably a 1000mah 18650.


neercatz

Do you like it? It's very generous


Fanceyreddit

Hey, I thought we painted this blue last night? That bullshit paint dried to completely different color.


GadgetConnections

I hope you saw it an yelled ODEAR! and he thought it was because you knew the brand and knew it was good


IntusLuna

That's a nice light. I'd use it everyday.


spyd3rweb

Throw an SBT90 in there, and then you'll go from ODEAR to OHHYEAAHHH!


pogo6023

Oh, dear!...


Hungry-for-Apples789

Think of the host potential though.


spinjitzu24

Why is it shaped exactly like an X75 🧐


Simon676

Tint doesn't look awful tbh


[deleted]

🤢


MrBogardus

My little Fenix PD25R is brighter than that


crucible

My Dad bought one of these, mistakenly thinking it would light up the back yard like an old incandescent torch he bought at a car show maybe 20 years ago. Nope. It has as much throw as the TackLife Amazon special he already owns :P A few days later I bought a Sofirn SP33S, which *does* light up most of the back yard.


officialbigrob

Oh dear. I mean I'm sure it's nice when you go out with cleetus to spotlight gators on the swamp, but that is not a work light 😂😂😂
