    I don't dare look away anymore!

    Gee things move fast. I'm away for 1 month. Last I heard green LED was retiring from flashlights and the K2 was the big thing. Now it Looks like the world has turned upside down. Green is back and I've got to study up on the new Cree craze. Gonna take a lot of reading to catch up. Sigh...it's...

    I BELIEVE - another Surefire A2 Aviator convert

    It's a trip down memory lane for me too. I read this when I was just starting down the path to enlightenment (or should that be financial damnation). I had been wanting an A2 but couldn't bring myself to spend that sort of money. When I saw the great price and cool black colour I was pushed...

    Bringing A Little Quality Light To A Couple Of Friends

    I think that is an awesome gift you are giving. Especially nice that you thought to give them several 123A cells as well. You are certainly a very good and generous friend. I hope they appreciate just how nice a gift they have been given. I'm not sure my non flashlight friends would realise...

    Lumen measurements of popular lights

    What a great idea this is. For a long time Ive been very frustrated with various claims of a lights "brightness". Different methods and assumptions used or exaggerated claims make it really hard to know who to believe. A reputable source of comparison would be highly valued.

    Magical Flashlights

    Delvance I know the feeling. The first few times I lost some anodise after dropping my A2 on to concrete really hurt. I couldn't stop cursing my clumsiness for days after that. I've come to accept that unless you are keeping something purely for collection purposes, we all have to accept that...

    Magical Flashlights

    Really enjoying reading your thoughts. Great to see I'm not alone in getting a little philosophical about things.

    Magical Flashlights

    Very true. I think one of the marks of true flashaholics is when it you care about more than just the function of lights. The form, craftsmanship and so on take on importance, at least some of the time.

    G&P Scorpion Series R500(lumen) Flashlight...

    Hi David, Great to hear how much you like your R500. I know how worried you were about how you would find the quality of the light. As you can see it is very good for the price. Try not to worry about white wall beam-shot tests. Just wait till you get it somewhere outside where it's really...

    Thanks Flying Turtle! I do love how supposedly outdated lights can still be a source of great pleasure.

    Magical Flashlights

    I've been thinking about why we like some lights and why other perfectly good lights can under whelm. I don't really have a perfect answer but I find it fascinating. What is it that makes one light almost magically desirable and another lackluster and uninspiring? It’s easy to see why some...

    Huntlight FT01 vs 7W Golston

    Sorry but getting a bit confused here. Just so I make sure I'm getting this straight. Are we sayingt that as far as rechargeables are concerned, running one 18650 will be brighter and last longer than two protected rechargeable 123As?

    Do you guys reveal flashlight hobby to a woman on a date?

    Absolutely not. Only reveal the nerd within when it is too late ie if/when you marry her.

    bought a new light today.... hope i didnt mess up

    Don't worry Cheapo you didn't mess up. I'm really happy with my R500. I'm sure you would have read the main thread on the R500. You can see my comments there. Only thing is to take care when you charge the battery. Remove the tail cap. Don't turn it on while charging. Don't know if it matters...
