Surefire E1L is on the way Need a little brother with nice run time to go along with the E2DL! One Surefire just aint enought!!!
I also had one real LED flashlight when I joined CPF: Streamlight Stylus Pro (at the recommendation of Nutnfancy's videos.) Thankfully, my other knife and multitool collections will keep my money away from too many lights.
Only danger is that Lighthound is an awesome website. I very much want to continue to fork over money to buy stuff from there.
In my case my flashlights have kept me away from getting even more binoculars, which is my other addiction...
The reason flashlights has been the dominating addiction likely is because you get more quality flashlights for the money than quality binoculars...
I use to order from Fenixstore/4Seven, Battery Junction and Malkoff devices, but still not from Lighthound. But I have visited their site several times.
Soon the annual break of the flashoholity will start for me. The light summer at my location close to the polarcircle means around 3 months without dark nights... Just imagine what a trauma for a flashoholic! ...
Best flashlight regards, Patric

I've resisted lights so far, but I bought a multi-sink, a couple drivers, and some other parts. That's the problem with having extra mod hosts kicking around... Oops!
LOL! Me to
Would really like to get my hands on the new Swarovski EL 10x42 Swarovision or at least just try it out. But the price tag
Of course just when I'd bought the regular EL 10x42 I found out that the Swarovision was rumored although it was many months before actual release. Oh well. At least I got my regular EL at a very good offer which was almost half price of what the Swarovision now retails at - and also a good deal cheaper then the regular EL even now.
Btw. the Habicht 10x40 is also very recommended. Very good optics at an affordable price and enhanced 3D compared to roof prisms. And you have have it for yourself if you are to bring binos to a place with many potential thieves and hustlers as it (at least at a distance so you don't notice the brand) look just like your average classic/vintage binos bought for next to nothing at a flea market.
"Luckily" summer time here it still gets dark. I've bought a bike holder and a headband for my Fenixes. Will be great to really try them out when summer time really comes. On my way cycling home from family etc. at country roads with no street lights.
Very soon have 3 weeks of remaining vacation to spend. Might very well end up buying some lights out of pure boredom
Lets see what I'll buy. One day I got to get a Zebralight H501 or similar. Sometimes I could have used one but for some reason I haven't bought one yet (everyone "has" such a light in their mind!).
Else I have my eyes on the new LED Lenser M series. More specifically the M14 or M7 (leans towards M14). Yeah know some here don't like them (because of their until recently only direct drives and resistor "driver" models) but the new M series feels very promising and they got some really great TIR optics with unique zoomable beam patterns you just don't find in a reflector light. Mechanical the quality is very nice too. Played a little with a P14 at a store the other day (yup, that's the old resistor variant but mechanically isn't too different from the M14). The only problem with buying one is that I hear voices telling me that if I got one in the series then I got to get them all (M1, M5, M7, M14 - 4 lights!) :devil:
