Your Flashlight is Cool But I Have Something Better

Not really, but that seems to be the recurring theme here. No matter what someone gets and posts about, it takes about 10 microseconds for someone else to come in and tell them about something else that they find better.

So sticking with the mood of this forum, no matter what you got... someone else either already has (or soon will) something much better.

So here's my POS Dorcy...

Just to see if we can get it down to 5 microseconds.

My modded UltraFire B3 (link in sig) does 100 lumens from a single AAA for 40 minutes, and my Pelican 7060 should get here tomorrow.

(I know I'm kind of skipping 'triple dare', but hey :nana

I have a better POS. it's the 2c cell 8 LED Dorcy. It throws a couple of lumen in blue-ish a few feet.

So wait, is it a 'who has a crappier light', or 'who has a better light'? :shrug:

is it focusable? or is the 2 beam pictures just there to intrigue me with hype?

That looks like a pretty nice little POS.

does it use a side switch like other dorcies?
is the switch recessed?
it is optics?
at 15 feet what is the smallest spot it can make?
does it have a big black hole in the center when wide?

is this 2 cell version of it for $20 better?

Well some of the good-natured competition is cool with me. Just like the Ford vs Chevy battle that has been raging on forever. Or Mac vs PC. But in some cases it's Chevy vs Ferrari around here. I'll pit my Superfire against anyone's comparable Surefire any day. Bring it on. Let the bench racing ensue...

Well, when comparing with friends, I like to think my light's better, but most don't even realize that there is a difference between most flashlights.

Is this the 1W Dorcy that can keep going and going until the 1xAA is really low?

While I've got a few pretty cool lights, that's the general theme around here. I did recently have a firearm related conversation that sucked the wind out of someone... This gentleman was convinced that his fairly standard AR-15 had to be better than anything I've got. Unfortunately, my conference room at the office has both a Garwood M-134G Minigun, and a 40mm HK GMG in it. It was like lining up a bottle rocket next to the Space Shuttle.

Oh dude, whatever you're talking about, mine's clearly better.

See, that's why I love this place... The sense of humor around here is priceless... I should've known I'd get a great response!

Oh, and if you're not sure what it is, http://www.sgcusa.com/images/SGC_Garwood_Video_Day_Small.WMV

You'll be laughing as hard as I was when I found out something like this exists... Most enjoyable way to spend $60 per second.

i think i will stick to the minigun in the video game, i couldnt even afford the first second of AMMO.

Why would someone have a minigun in his office? Maybe you have to fight helicopters through the window like in Matrix.

Great answer Carrot- and yes your carrot is clearly better than mine....
Ahem.

It hasn't always been that way around here but it seems to be shifting in that direction lately. What happened to just being happy about the lights you had and talking about them and others from a hobby perspective rather than from a my **** is bigger than yours point of view?

My Sh** is bigger than yours is a natural response. It is part of being a man. We wouldn't buy these light if we didn't like the comparison game.:rock:

[serious] That's a natural response for little kids, on a grade school playground. Some of us buy tools because of what they let us do, not how loud they let us talk. [/serious]

Looking at that thread title, at first I didn't think he was talking about, um, flashlights.

So i'm guessing that it puts out nowhere near 45 lumens? I always thought they looked kind of cool.



Well here is my POS light, I don't know what I was thinking when I bought it. It's a 2D LED Brinkmann.



Beam shot 6 feet away



I would say it is a little brighter and better tint than my 1 AAA dorcy. But the beamshot in picture is a little more blue than in real life.
