I despise Photobucket for what they have done.
I’m an aficionado of modern flashlights. They are definitely not the lights of yesteryear and have become very cool indeed. The latest generations utilizing the Cree XHP50 emitter fires 2,000+ lumens from the palm of you hand.

But there is one older light, the Niteye Eye15 that I always wished I had purchased but did not. It is a very compact light producing 500 lm and not much bigger than the 18650 battery that powers it. Great for EDC. It has infinitely adjustable +/- brightness utilizing a magnetic control ring. For me that is the best flashlight interface. Because it uses an 18650 battery it has exceptional runtime for such a compact light.

It’s bothered me continuously over the years that I did not get one so I decided to see if I could still get one. They no longer seem to be available in the U.S., but can still be ordered from China.
Anyway I wanted to check out the runtime graphs. Here is a great review of the light that used to be full of beamshots and graphs, now a victim of the dastardly Photobucket. The charts and graphs are now simply missing, but it is obvious at the end of the review that the author was using Photobucket. At least the video was hosted on Youtube.
I keep seeing this willful destruction of historical data all over the web. What a shameful loss. Photobucket’s utter distain for its users, the worldwide web community in general and history is truly remarkable.
