Summary

The finger-sized Skilhunt EC150 is a compact and lightweight EDC flashlight that is barely noticeable in your pocket, making it a perfect everyday companion. Skilhunt got almost everything right with this light: an efficient boost driver ensures consistent brightness, it can run on both Li-ion and NiMH batteries and thanks to the integrated USB-C charging, it's easy to recharge anytime. It is also available in a version with Nichia 519A LEDs, which impress with their excellent light quality.

There's not much to complain about the EC150: the switch can sometimes be a bit tricky to locate by touch and the sharp attachment lug for the lanyard can feel uncomfortable. However, these are minor issues that hardly detract from the overall very positive impression.

Each week on Polygon, we round up the most notable new releases to streaming and VOD, highlighting the biggest and best new movies for you to watch at home.

This week, there’s a packed lineup of VOD options for viewers looking to enjoy their Fourth of July weekend from the comfort of their air conditioned homes. After years of lackluster films, the Marvel Cinematic Universe gets back to basics with the character-driven CGI-light Thunderbolts. The John Wick franchise continues to expand with Ballerina, which d

Adhering to the ketogenic diet can reduce or stop seizures, even when other treatments fail, via mechanism(s) distinct from other available therapies. These results have led to interest in the diet for treating conditions such as Alzheimer’s disease, depression and schizophrenia. Evidence points to the neuromodulator adenosine as a key mechanism underlying therapeutic benefits of a ketogenic diet. Adenosine represents a unique and direct link among cell energy, neuronal activity, and gene expression, and adenosine receptors form functional heteromers with dopamine receptors. The importance of the dopaminergic system is established in addiction, as are the challenges of modulating the dopamine system directly. A mediator that could antagonize dopamine’s effects would be useful, and adenosine is such a mediator due to its function and location. Studies report that the ketogenic diet improves cognition, sociability, and perseverative behaviors, and might improve depression. Many of the tr

Update, June 23rd: Best Buy has sold out of the standalone console, but it still has stock of the $499.99 Mario Kart World bundle.

Summary

Skilhunt is best known for their flashlights with magnetic charging ports. About a year ago, the EC series was introduced, which instead uses a standard USB-C port. The first model was the EC200, a compact EDC flashlight with a floody beam.

With the EC500, Skilhunt expands the series with a high-performance thrower featuring an excellent beam with a compact, sharply focused spot. The USB-C port allows for convenient battery charging – no special adapter required. I especially like the warm white 3000 K version, which produces a pleasant, cozy light with high color rendering.

The only drawback: The switch is a bit hard to find by touch. An asymmetrical design would improve usability in this regard.

Each week on Polygon, we round up the most notable new releases to streaming and VOD, highlighting the biggest and best new movies for you to watch at home.

Disney’s live-action Snow Whitewas box office poison thanks to bad reviews, controversy about the dwarves,and a scaled-back promotional tour, but it could still find new life if viewers fall in love with it on Disney Plus. This is a big week for thriller fans, with Gerald Butler playing a pilot trying to protect his passengers in Plane on Netflix, Julianna Moore trying

Summary

The focused beam of white light cuts through the darkness, dances across the fields, follows a line of trees, pauses briefly – was there something? LEP flashlights are an experience; their practical use comes second. Exploring your surroundings with a "pencil beam" is simply a lot of fun.

The finger-sized Vastlite Minima Bow is likely the smallest LEP flashlight currently on the market. You won't find a flashlight this small – just 71 × 20 mm – with a range of up to 750 meters anywhere else. It's operated by twisting the head for on and off ("twisty"), allowing you to switch between two brightness levels and a strobe mode.

Summary

For months, there have been hints of a new flashlight from Nitecore, but specific details have been kept top secret. That's now changed, as the new model has been officially announced: Here is the new Nitecore EDC37.

Was it worth the wait? Absolutely! The EDC37 combines many of the best features from previous models to make it Nitecore's new flagship of the EDC series.

The two "UHi 20 MAX" LEDs – already known from the EDC29 – now deliver up to 8000 lumens. Of course, this high brightness in such a compact flashlight can't be sustained for long. The heat sink is protected from direct contact, making handling more comfortable. One of the two dual-stage buttons can be programmed at both stages, and the "Rapid Lock" switch allows for quick and easy lockout at any time. It would be nice to have the option to freely choose between a wide and narrow beam at every brightness level. The built-in 8000 mAh battery offers long runtime, though its non-replaceable nature may be seen as

This week, Captain America: Brave New World, the Marvel superhero movie starring Anthony Mackie and Harrison Ford, smashes its way onto Disney Plus after hitting video on demand in April. It’s a big week for animation, with the Oscar-nominated The Wild Robotand the Korean science fiction romance Lost in Starlightboth releasing on

Summary

It’s the little details that make the fourth version of the Skilhunt M200 a successful update. With three LED options, users can now choose between high brightness, long range, or accurate color rendering. The improved charging port should eliminate issues with water or metal shavings. And the already great UI has been further improved.

There’s not much to complain about. The slightly sharp edges on the bezel and the tailcap could be improved. In the version with the Nichia 519A, the LED is pushed to its limit in Turbo mode, which could affect its lifespan in the long run.

All in all, I’m very satisfied with the Skilhunt M200 V4. While there’s no compelling reason for V3 owners to upgrade, one of the other LED variants could still be an appealing addition.

Summary

For many years, the SkyRC MC3000 has been considered one of the best chargers for round batteries. The user has full control over the charging process and can set not only the charging current but also many other parameters. It can also connect to a PC or smartphone for settings and data logging.

And here comes the new SkyRC MC5000!

I was really looking forward to the SkyRC MC5000: a modern design with a large color display, innovative scroll-wheel input, charging currents of up to 5 A per slot, Bluetooth connectivity and advanced analysis features.

All in all, everything has worked so far, but the range of functions still se

After five years, I was still happy with my phone, even though its battery had started the inevitable process of slowing to a stop. But Donald Trump's tariff nonsense pushed me to make a decision: buy a new phone or fix the old one now, before the prices go up. The answer was clearer than ever - I replaced the battery.

I have an iPhone 12 Mini, a size Apple no longer makes. It's small and light, which is what I want from a phone. When it came out, our reviewer found that the battery died on him every evening. I use my phone less than

Novocaine succeeds in merging the genres of action, comedy, and romance, creating a distinctly quirky cinematic experience. While it does not innovate within the genre, it provides a refreshing interpretation of established tropes bolstered by commendable performances and a compelling soundtrack.
