NEW TO CPF

Hi everyone.

Five or Six months ago I thought I had all the flashlights I would ever need. After all, a 2D Mag, miniMag, and a Solitaire should have the bases covered! All aluminum, o-rings, and adjustable beams; could there be anything better?

Then one day I stumbled across CPF, and you guys know the rest of the story!
After reading post after post etc. I decided it was time to head down to Bass Pro and have a look at some Surefires. Not being sure that these lights were really and better or brighter than my Mags, I decided to play it safe and buy a G2. It was dark when I arrived at home and I couldn't wait to go outside in the cold and compare my new G2 to my trusty 2D Mag. I still remember like it was yesterday my excitement when I turned on that little G2! My Mag suddenly seemed way too large and way too dim.

Since that day I have purchased one new light every month. It's all I can do to keep from buying more than one each month! I can see no end in sight. I now have the G2, E2L, U2, a Luma M1(cree) and a Fenix L1DCE!

Can one of you convince me to quit buying Lights?

We cant convince you quit buying lights only advise you on which ones to add to your collection. Welcome to the forums and the addiction. Hope you dont have kids to feed....

Your only choice (and chance) is to cut up your credit cards and give all your cash to the wife!


(Ask me how I know!)

lol...what riff said,,:sweat:

The kids are grown and gone and the wife left about 9 years ago! So you see my dilema..I don't have to get approval from anyone before I buy more torches!

you don't stand a chance lol. But welcome aboard anyway

That could be seen as a problem, or an advantage. The problem is that you'll buy so many lights, you won't be able to buy food! The advantage is that you'll only be starving yourself! Just don't try to eat the batteries and you'll be fine. :laughing:

You're screwed. Catch the surefire bug and you are halfway down the hill already...

Welcome aboard! My very best advice: get the expensive lights first. You're going to get them anyway, so, at least once you've got the best and the brightest, you won't care to bother so much with buying all the cheap stuff. It'll probably save you a lot of money.

That's brilliant Trashman!!!

Welcome BSCOTT!

Trashman gives good advice.

Hi, Welcome to CPF

Stay away form the Modding forum if you treasure your money.
