A lower intensity light can be more useful in some situations.

I guess I always KNEW this, but to see it actually posted, and with reasons (close-up work, maneuvering around the house without waking others, etc.), made me really appreciate some of my weaker, floodier flashlights (Inova X5, MiniMag with NiteIze drop-in, etc.).

I like the fact that every time I go to the Forums there is a new light hitting the market

Hmm...

never did hear that one before.

Anyway,

the thing I'm most appreciative of is outside beamshots & output measurements. Those kinds of things aren't easy to do especially if you're by yourslef.

Oh I almost forgot,

Holy sh** thats bright!!

Being a dog owner this sig liner makes me

every time I read it:

"You need a dog so that you can walk your flashlights."

The post that sticks in my mind , and the one that convinced me to buy a ProPoly Lux, was one that had a picture of the light after it had been loaned to someone who travelled to South America (if memory serves).
It was so beat up.
Dents, burn marks, just horrible but the light still worked.

I wish I could find that photo again. But just try 'searching' for "Streamlight ProPolymer Luxeon 4AA" ... just too darn popular -too many results.



( if anyone runs across it(the picture) please let me know)

The best part of CPF is the wisdom you can gain by reading other CPFers trials (both good and bad) about modifications. I enjoy trying to make my lights better than they were from the factory without losing thier overall ability/function. This can be as simple as a new dropin LED or having it bored to run 18mm rechargeables etc...
It is nice to be surrounded with people of the same thoughts and interests that are eager to help and answer questions, not for money or glory, but just to help a stranger that happens to have the same hobby.

There will *always* be a newer, better, brighter, or longer running light than yours, be happy with the one(s) you have, constantly wanting a "better" light is the path to madness

.....my pockets hurt.....
