Very thorough review, thanks for posting it. I like how the Lemmy/Mastodon comments are now merged into your blog. I might try to set something like that up for some of my own web pages.

One request: could you at some point add an index to your review site? Preferably automatically generated and linked to categories. I don’t know what software you are using so don’t know how feasible this is, but it would be nice.

@solrize How would you like the index to be structured? Currently, there are tags and it wouldn’t be hard to use them to make some sort of index.

I’ve had the Mastodon comments for a while, but nobody commented until I (and many others) started using Lemmy. I modified this code and should probably update it:

I think Zeroair’s category links work ok for now. if his site had a lot more reviews, I’d want a more compact format, like parametrek’s db pages. I’ll give it some thought and maybe post more later.

Like many people, I only got on Lemmy recently, because of the Reddit meltdown. So that’s why I didn’t notice the Mastodon comments before.

@solrize@lemmy.world You can also find many (all?) reviews filtered to zakreviews.com in this database recently launched by @NightTime@lemmy.world : http://lumireviews.ca/

Yes, all Zak’s reviews are in the database. Well, everything that has a light. If Zak reviewed a charger or a knife, it won’t be there.

I just need to make a correction for his last review. Tonight.

@giant_smeeg the light itself.

That is a pretty horrible misdesign or maybe manufacturing defect, if live voltage is supplied to the external contacts like that. It is even a safety hazard. It’s enough to make me want to stay away from the light without wanting to know anything else about it. Ouch. I’d take off way more than one star for that. I can’t see this light paying any reasonable certification or type acceptance, if such a thing exists for flashlights.

I do appreciate the very detailed data table right at the start of the review. I wish other reviewers also did that.

@solrize it’s an issue for all the Skilhunt lights with magnetic charging. It’s not nearly as bad as when Olight did the same thing, but Olight fixed it.
