Flashlight Enthusiast
It's been three whole weeks since I've bought any flashlights. I have been very proud of that sobriety.
But, not having attended any 12-step meetings in awhile, I suddenly, while driving, felt my steering wheel pulling strongly in a consistently NE direction, and wound up in the Big Wally's parking lot in Duarte, Cal.
After sitting there for 10 minutes or so, without cellphone, or small change for payphone to call for help from any recovering flashaholics, I wandered into the store......
- Just to look around.
Next thing I know, I'm in the sporting goods dept., and WHAT do I see??
1. Shiny new Legend LXs (3 of 'em).
(!)
2. Dorcy CoolBlue LEDlight
3. That little folding EV white LED lantern.
Something just came over me and made me grab 1 of each, and before I knew it, I was at the cash register.
-Total damages: $39.60 incl.tax
Comments:
-Legend, as claimed is Danged Bright for being only 5+1/2" long and costing 20 bucks.....
-Folding LED lantern-brighter than I expected!:>)
-CoolBlue..Wimpy (to use technical term) output-for this flashlight's size
But I do need the reflector for another Dorcy light (it melted with a .85A bulb in it), and I need that LED for my Eveready ArcWhite.
I think I feel a little better now, and have promised myself NOT to buy any more lights today!
The bright side: -I've got some brand new lights to shine around , now that it's dark...
-One thing is for sure, if you're trying to curb spending, reading CPF forums is certainly not the way to help yourself do it.....
