Agreed. My copy lost this documentation link in the original which gives more detail about the horizontal scaling: https://join-lemmy.org/docs/administration/horizontal_scaling.html.
It seems really straightforward (which is a good thing), each backend Lemmy_server handles incoming requests and also pulls from a shared queue of other federation work.
How about Mankerlight MC13 II with SBT90.2 ($110 USD) emitter or sft40 ($65)?

It’s a larger 18350 light that twists open to 18650. The TIR is similar to Thrunite Catapult v1 and possibly Wurkkos ts11.
.
A 21700 tube was also released as part of a bundle or here: https://www.killzoneflashlights.com/products/manker-21700-tube-for-mc13-ii-e14-iv.
I don’t have this light but it seems like OK value for the higher price (for very short bursts of throw, not sustained).
