    Now i am worried!

    Pretty much this. The research was done before I spoke.;) Additionally, the links that were posted, pretty much had reinforced my point. I'm not looking to start an argument, but I think that the CPF community is simply too smart of a forum to fall for this EMP "off switch to the stone-age"...

    Now i am worried!

    I'm pretty certain that the destructive effects of EMP on electronic components is vastly overstated. Mostly, this is due to worried preparedness types that would rather try to advise as experts, rather than truly understand the issue at hand. EMP resulting from an airburst nuclear detonation...

    wind-up lights are no emergency ones ...

    same applies to wind-up radios, as they are typically combined with a LED light that is the sole light and radio in many people's "emergency kit". My $10 Sony pocket radio worked for the entire blackout on it's original 4 year old battery while the cheap wind-ups were failing. Considering...

    Corn Maze at Night, Mind Blown

    How many knuckleheads were confident that their cellphone backlight was their "flashlight"?

    A bad sign for Freeplay

    I trust a decent light with a CR123 more than I trust some wind-up cookcoo-clock budget light from overseas. CR123 has a shelf life of 10yrs. The super low and moon mode output features that have been recently popular benefit this attribute well.

    Getting my friend a nice flashlight for his birthday...

    I have given several G2, G2L, and most recently a G2X away as gifts when I have someone that I think high enough of should not be without a good light. Mostly friends and family. I give the CR123 lights away as I am giving them away so the owner has a slight edge of preparedness and a quality...

    what is your WIFE'S edc light??

    EarLy quark mini cr123 I'm sure you guys can relate, but there have been a few times where she was the only one in the crowd to have anything brighter than a cellphone for illumination when it went dark. I'm also thinking of sticking a G2L in her glovebox

    Glock Xenon Light

    Glock isn't exactly known for adopting anything new. I say this as a completely satisfied Glock owner. I'd recommend looking at a SF X300 for a replacement. Much more functional, reliable, and brighter than the glock branded Incan.

    Current flashlight's price VS. a few years ago.

    :thumbsdow These companies are out to make money. They charge what the market will handle. The upside of being profitable, is that they have more money for R&D and re-investment to bring you more and better products down the road. While it is true that the early adopter largely finances the...

    LED Light for an HK G36

    We need more threads like this :twothumbs: I like Hk's and that conversion is great! I only have one Hk right now myself, a P7 PSP for CCW that I am really happy with. I thought about picking up one of the recently imported Turkish MP5's but decided that my next rifle would be something in...

    the Micron 30 (/w Glock 30)

    Nice review. Thanks for bringing this light to my attention. I think that there is a ton of room for innovation in the pistolight market. I'm really surprised that some of the bigger flashlight brands do not design an offering in this market like Fenix. It has really only been Surefire...

    Found a flashlight in my lawn mower...

    I just checked my lawnmower. No surefires :mad: Mr. Honda himself is going to hear about this!:p Yes, send this story to surefire. Maybe get a free light if they publish your story. Most of their stories read like the mall-ninja HSLD tactical operator version of Letters to Penthouse, so you...

    Cave tour guides with LED flashlights.

    Most people see an LED light that they are thinking of buying, look right into the LEDs, say to themselves "oh Sh!t thats bright!" and wonder around blinded for a few minutes confident in their selection. (keep in mind, I'll see spots for 10 minutes if I look directly into my E01). I have...

    Surefire: L1 or E1b ???

    MSRP on the E1B is $139.99 Surefire pretty much sets their dealer advertised pricing. Auctions do not apply, as they are usually not official dealers nor are they advertised prices. Auction sites also usually are cheaper than that. I didn't even pay $139.99 for my LX2 on auction. More like...

    No love for Inova's??

    I think you, like myself, will be buying any future Inovas from the BST forum. http://www.candlepowerforums.com/vb/images/smilies/redface.gif I keep gifting out my X5's to unenlightened friends and family that I need to stock up on them. Think I'll try one of the blue X5s this time around...
