Where did all the oldtimers go.

[Beamhead]

I still have 2 of the 3 but did have all 3. I got rid of the Sharper Image light and my pic has the light that caused me to find CPF. The Dorcy spyder.

I'm still here

Just stopping in to say Happy New Year (from an oldtimer 815).

 

[Paul6ppca]

I still read here on regular basis.
How about bringing back Nuwaii Q3? That should be a reference to my time!
2005/2006 officially.
First real light Fenix L2. And got Nekomain(sp)
Cr 123 tube!

Well, member #166 is still around.
Originally, I was member #98, but over 1.5 decades ago there was a server hiccup and members got renumbered.

Greetings to Brock, who brought me to this place.

Oh yes, I missed out on he Nuwaii Q3, but I also have the Fenix L2 and the same CR123 tube!

That great! Do you still use the Fenix l 2?

 

[xevious]

Is that anything like the L2S?

I actually still have one of these... Really stupid low-high mode UI (hardly a 20% visible difference).

I still have an L1T v.2 . I think it was the second "good light" I ever got around 2008 or so after the LD20 Q5 (RIP ... Lost that beautiful boy). The L1T v.2 is really nice still. It has a super textured OP reflector that makes the beam really "soft." I wish more manufacturers would use really textured OP again sometimes. Or even that micro-texture almost "matte" finish like was in the... Fenix TK22, was it? Yeah the 22.

Always pop in the review section before I buy any type of led flashlight.
But, I must admit...CPF has changed a lot!

Yes it has. I remember Friday nites everyone would be posting something cool for sale at really good prices! I would be ready to jump on a new light. Made it difficult to go to bed and miss a deal![emoji3]

 

[marinemaster]

I remember Size16 moderator and CoolDaddio i think it was the name.

Oh yes!
When those mcgizmo sales would go on.
It seems like there's a lot of new brands as well. I guess I have some reading to do.

I'm by no means an Oldtimer, but Paul6ppca's comment above got me thinking. When I got here, piston drive McGizmo's, Spy005's, Tranquillitybase customs, Mr. Bulks, Mac triples, Milky's lights, etc. were all over BST. Needed a few bucks? Sell your PD-S knowing you'd have your choice to pick from next week after payday. It was an amazing time for a newbie Flashaholic. I remember my 100th post to get that designator under my screen name...

A couple of old-soldiers re-outfitted.

Nuwai's old cool Luxeon Star replaced with a neutral XM-L and perfectly capable of running 16340's w/original driver for an estimated 400 lumens. Dorcy's incan gutted and souped up to the latest neutral/warm (4000k) XP-G3 driven up to 3000mA on 16650's; love that buttery switch. I think these old beauties posses more character than new lights.

Yes and Orb Raw. That was my first light over $100. I was shocked how small it was. And shocked how bright it was that night![emoji38]

Who's got a Q 3 to sell me[emoji16]! 10 bucks. That's old school !
