So I will probably say a lot of the irritating, obvious and predictable things that other newbies do.
For a start until very recently I have been happy with my $2.00 - $5.00 bulb torches and the old big heavy quality 2c bulb Maglite that I found on the road. It really had been run over by cars and still worked. Until a mate of mine (he is on here somewhere) gave me a little LED Thrunite that he had grown out of.
So then I saw the difference and bought some cheap 18650/26650 powered ebay jobs, and I loved them too, and was content. Then he showed me some of the better again units that he has that don't cycle through annoying strobes before you can turn them off etc.
Now I'm looking at torches with names on them and upgrading bulbs and drop ins and modding and I'm thinking how much simpler my life would have been if he had only kept that thrunite to himself. Cheers.
