I straight up thought this were a screenshot of an unshaded game or something

[-] herrcaptain@lemmy.ca 46 points 2 years ago

Oh it looks like that thing will unshade a field of view real nice.

[-] VelvetStorm@lemmy.world 15 points 2 years ago

That light will last less than 1 or 2 min and will get super duper hot.

[-] tourist@lemmy.world 15 points 2 years ago
[-] Mildmantis@lemmy.whynotdrs.org 11 points 2 years ago

Tbh that's probably good enough for a deployable self defense solution.

[-] RogueBanana@lemmy.zip 4 points 2 years ago

Makes perfect sense given LEDs are only around 50% efficient or even less so if this thing can produce this monstrous holy light then it is bound to overheat and drain the battery very fast

[-] vox@sopuli.xyz 3 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

yeah even my 1500lumen light gets unbearably hot after running on turbo for more than 5 minutes

Of course there's an appropriate XKCD! That site is awesome! 🤩

So by XKCD's calculations, when Piccolo blew up the moon, it should have taken the Earth with it.

That would have solved a lot of problems here.

[-] lightnsfw@reddthat.com 1 points 2 years ago

I thought Roshi blew up the moon.

[-] spicytuna62@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

The both did. Roshi blew it up when Goku transformed. Then it was restored by the dragonballs. Then Gohan transformed and Piccolo blew it up too.

I always remember Piccolo because that was the one that I first saw on Toonami when I was a little kid.

I cast "Fuck everything in that general direction"!

[-] HotsauceHurricane@lemmy.one 51 points 2 years ago

I feel like if you’re attacking me, you lose the right to have unfucked eyeballs.

[-] Kalkaline@leminal.space 39 points 2 years ago

Yeah, but make it strobe so their eyes can't adjust fast enough.

[-] troyunrau@lemmy.ca 21 points 2 years ago

The strobe should be subtle, just to fuck with everyone. Like 25 Hz or something.

[-] HoustonHenry@lemmy.world 9 points 2 years ago

That friggin devious, love it

[-] VelvetStorm@lemmy.world 13 points 2 years ago

I don't think it matters. At that brightness at that distance it could have the potential to do permanent damage

[-] TheSaus@lemmy.dbzer0.com 6 points 2 years ago

Me being mugged has a higher relative potential to leave me with permanent damage (death), i would cast the light of allah on the fool

[-] JoYo@lemmy.ml 35 points 2 years ago

no one fucks with the guy holding a bright ass flashlight. mostly because theyre blind now.

[-] Casey@lemmy.blahaj.zone 31 points 2 years ago

In the US you could probably get away with using a rocket launcher for self-defence

[-] Kolanaki@yiffit.net 8 points 2 years ago

Our idea of gun control is to have so many guns that no gunfight ever happens because they'll be too busy pulling out bigger and bigger guns, Looney Tunes style.

[-] Asafum@feddit.nl 7 points 2 years ago

Muh Sextent Amerndment reights says aye can haz an Abrahams tank four selfish defences!

[-] SatanicNotMessianic@lemmy.ml 30 points 2 years ago

This is a good strategy. A solar flare will also interrupt their radio communications and they will be unable to call for backup.

[-] Imgonnatrythis@sh.itjust.works 23 points 2 years ago

Im just gonna put 14 of these on my truck and keepem on so no one even tries to mug me.

[-] violetraven@lemmy.blahaj.zone 17 points 2 years ago

Please don't be that truck person. I'm just trying to drive to work and back in my Corolla and don't want to play "cop car or alien tractor beam"

[-] popemichael@lemmy.sdf.org 21 points 2 years ago

A super bright flashlight is also a top pick for a bugout bag. It punches WAY above its weight, space wise.

Some of them can even be used to start fires.

[-] mindbleach@sh.itjust.works 6 points 2 years ago

Often intentionally!

[-] boeman@lemmy.world 20 points 2 years ago

Great defense from the lifted trucks with improperly aligned LEDs

[-] Yeller_king@reddthat.com 14 points 2 years ago

The technique definitely punches above its weight in Dragon Ball.

[-] mindbleach@sh.itjust.works 2 points 2 years ago

Kikohowyadoin'.

[-] THEMASTERMIND@feddit.ch 9 points 2 years ago

How much and does it ship internationally ?

[-] Leon@lemmy.dbzer0.com 14 points 2 years ago

IMALENT MS18, about $650 usd. company is in china so probably. only does this much light for a couple seconds though and gets wacky hot real quick. and there's some camera antics going on. it is bright as fuck though

[-] brb@sh.itjust.works 3 points 2 years ago

You sure about that? The image looks like they poorly edited a guy on top of some game footage

[-] JJROKCZ@lemmy.world 8 points 2 years ago

This is super cool, where does one learn about and acquire such things?
