    Incoming - What do you have coming in the mail??

    Just bought a LedLenser P5R.2 light. I like the idea of a very quick and easy way to mount (magnetic base/tailcap) the light to let it charge; and when ready to use, I'll just grab and go! Correction. The dealer's website indicated that it was in stock, but was not. Refunded, dead deal.

    Surefire UM2 Ultra

    All good things... I've owned mine since Nov 2017. Just sold and mailed it out to another CPF member yesterday. At least my daughter has one, so I can use it if I get the hankering.

    Black Friday 2021: what light(s) did you purchase?

    Saw that Elzetta had a 20% deal for Black Friday, so I took a look at their website. Didn't know that they had a blue Bones light, so I pulled the trigger. Absolutely don't need it, but that blue looks so nice...

    Surefire Stiletto. Had some birthday money burning a hole...

    What was the last LED light you purchased and why?

    The limited edition 3D Maglite painted in the American flag theme. Because it's different than my other Maglites and I had a little Christmas money left over.

    Surefire tactician

    And earlier this AM, I had a need to look in the lower drawer of my nightstand whilst wifey was still asleep. No other light nearby other than the Tactician. Then I remembered twisting the head would be low. Worked like a charm!

    What was the last LED light you purchased and why?

    A Malkoff MDC HA 1xAA in Neutral White 4000k last night. I don't have a Malkoff in the collection now, and wanted another American made light for my EDC rotation. Plus I like the look of the black clips now instead of the silvery aluminum looking ones he used to make...

    Surefire tactician

    Have had mine for a few days now. It's smaller and more slender than I thought, which is good. My clip is rigid. I'm glad they deleted the FC before the CE; and the CE is subdued a bit with its grey look instead of bright white. The wide/floody beam pattern is wonderful, and my s/n is...

    what was your first led light

    I was some Inova light that was on sale at Costco around 2007 or so. I seem to recall it needed 2 x CR123. And it was around 100 lumens or so. I think the tint was rather bluish/cool as well. I do remember that the width of the light was the same from head to tail.

    Surefire tactician

    Thanks for the input. And since this light won't be used as an EDC or something, I agree that CR123s would be fine. Should last quite a while. I think the 16650 would be better suited for regular normal/daily use etc.

    Surefire tactician

    Yeh, yeh, I know, Johnny Come Lately here. I think I mentioned buying this in 2018, and I finally did just a few minutes ago. My UM2 is the dedicated bump in the night light on my nightstand along w/ my Beretta APX; but I think this Tactician will bump the UM2 to the flashlight shelves. So...

    Surefire UM2 Ultra

    For the last couple of weeks, my UM2 has been my nightstand light. I just really dig that no-look selector ring!

    What 3 lights do you like/use the most?

    My EDC is an FW3A in neutral. And I rotate equally between my P1R dual mode Peacekeeper and my UM2 for nightstand duty...

    BLF/TLF FW3A impressions

    Ok, it's been several days w/ the clip back on. I've not experienced any glitches. Seems to be working reliably now, thank you. ;-)

    BLF/TLF FW3A impressions

    I wanted a cleaner look and feel of the light, so I removed the clip for a couple of weeks. I noticed some erratic/intermittent trouble w/ the light not working right. Does anyone know if the clip has something to do w/ contact and/or spacing that may cause issues? I've just reinstalled the...
