Hey guys,
I would love to be considered in this again. I'll start off by saying however, that obviously I am not much of a "contributor" according to my post count so I would understand if I do not qualify. I can also say however, that I am an avid follower of the forum and visit at least 2-3 times a week here just to keep up with what's new. I am up to date on most of the new torches- I was just explaining to someone yesterday how I felt that flashlights are a good representation of how fast our society's technology is advancing- I used to browse around here back in the day's of the luxIII that one would be happy with 50-60 lumens from; now only ~4 years later we have LED's like the xml pushing in the thousands of lumens from the same voltage.
But anyways, back to the point. I was a receiver in last years giveaway, though I was picked last and chose a pair of 18650's (which I was quite happy with!). I originally used them in my first light, an ultrafire 501 with an R2, but it died so I replaced it with an ultrafire 504 with an XML. So that's my only light, I am quite happy with it and use those same 18650's in it to this day. I would love to add another light to my collection, possibly an edc that would be nice .
Like many others on here, I am a college student and frankly, just dont' have the spending money to use on flashlights as much as I would love to buy new lights every week . Believe me, if I could I would have many more lights. That said, i'd be very, very appreciative to receive something this year and double my collection! I'm sure I will make good use of it.
