Flashlight Enthusiast
Hello all,
A few weeks back we celebrated my daughters birthdays at a water park. Our group was placed in a covered secluded area in the park. Me being the flashlight guy I put a EB2 in my swim bag. It got dark and our seating area did not have lighting. I think to myself hey, I get to show off! Sweeping the area with the EB2 on low did not do the trick and 500 lumens was definitely painful. Having a flashlight was definitely practical but the 500 lumen high was not practical to look for missing flip flops under tables.
As I have been a flashaholic for at least 10 years I have an increasing appreciation for sub 100 lumen lights with long runtimes. When I was packing my light I thought about taking my older E2L with the 65 lumen high. That would have been perfect for the final gear sweep. But alas, I am conflicted. My inner flashaholic still wants to have the brightest light when meeting someone else with a light. My ego made me choose the wrong light that night.
But you know what? I'm good with that!
Thanks for sharing.
