I just signed up with CBS All Access and rewatched Star Trek Discovery S1Ep1 The Vulcan Hello.
Correct quote is, "...output is over one billion lumens per square meter." Whoo-hoo!

After giving FB a bit of time (do check in daily), the layout is just horrid compared to a forum. Much prefer it here, just so much easier to navigate and read.
Hopefully it will get a little more busy as the darkness creeps in.

I agree, I'm guilty to that as I'm over there as well, but it's just too difficult to keep up with who posted what where/when as far as a timeline and organizational structure is concerned or lack thereof. It's much more streamline here, like you said it's just easier to read and navigate comments and sections here, more organization. But Facebook is easier to hop on see headline posts and updates. I sure do miss the lounge, Idk if it's just me, but I feel more disconnected from the gang since we went to Facebook. :thinking:

I think it's just a phase (could be wrong), I prefer here but now seems a habit to check in FB. You feel the same about preferring the layout here for ease of use.......how many more must feel the same. Hopefully people will come back here a bit more, but over the years it seems the norm for it to go a little quiet then busy for a bit.
I too prefer it here. Hitting 20,000 posts soon. I think it doesn't hurt to be at multiple places though. Its like a family here but FB is actually good for business. My sales as gone up considerably since I started posting on instagram and FB.
So lets just chill here and keep the other gates open. I make an effort to post at as many places as possible to keep everyone in the loop but it is very hard. Lights mods are more complicated by the days as we pushes boundaries farther and farther. Stock lights are now more complicated and harder to mod. I need way more time and money in development so its very hard to just chill around and and posts as much as I did before.

I agree... Any new release lights should post it on the CPF.. they are easy to find and look back. I am sure someone mention about that too.. I am on CPF, blf and face book..

Yes agree, Vinh, business you dont want all your eggs in one basket. Be cool if some from FB came here as well(maybe quite a few already do.............dont know).
I have so many return customers that don't post on here or anywhere...Before when I first started most of my customers are from CPF so that is why almost all of them post here. Nowadays I get more customers that are not chit chat types. The ones that are on CPF also knows more about mods now so there are much less questions LOL I think....

I was watching a review video of the X80 by Advanced Knife Bro, and he made a shout out to Vinh and his modded lights haha I thought that was pretty cool. Vinh is making it more and more mainstream and has become common a household name now in the flashlight world. Glad to hear business is doing well you definitely deserve it!! Truth be told, when I first got into flashlights, I first learned of Vinh when doing a google search on how to make a flashlight brighter, found this forum, and found people mentioning v54 light, so i'm like wth brand is that? I can't find it on amazon or ebay LOL.. Then I discovered it was Vinh and he was a modder here at CPF, and after reading people's feedbacks and constant praise, I took a chance of sending Vinh my flashlight not knowing if I would get it back, not only did I get it back, but I got it back and better than before! 3+ years now as someone who follows this thread closely and as a customer, and he still finds a way either his personality and character/skills to impress me! Wish you continued growth and success man!:thumbsup:

I have been fairly quiet too. I still try to read as much as I can, and I truly value the free education I receive. Hope you are feeling better Vinh. You work so hard, perhaps every time you start to have a small collection of extra lights in stock you should plan a "mental health day" vacation day, whatever you want to call it. Tell people you will post the lights for sale but will be unavailable for 24 hours. That way you still have income even if you take a day to relax...just a thought....

Just open my spam folder box and find vinh has sent u a package.. yay. Two or three little lights are coming..
When you work so much you kinda get used to it and its very boring when you are not working LOL. I can only stop working when I am far away from home.
