I just realized tonight that I was about to hit 1000 posts, so I thought i'd take a few pics of the collection and reflect a bit on what i've learned over the last few years hanging around here.
First of all, my pics are not great, and I apologize in advance. I'll try to do better in that area next year (or after another 1000 posts
). Click on the pics for bigger ones.
I've bought and sold a TON of lights over the last few years, but the current ones really do include most of my favorites.
A few of these really stand out as excellent. The first is my current EDC, but probably mostly because I just got a few of these parts. E2E black bezel, Aleph CR2 body, z68 tailcap, and EMT F1 dropin. The main point here is to highlight how great the Surefire E series is right now in all of the options that you are given with it:
Here is another of my latest favorites, a 3P with a Malkoff M30. Its tough to beat a 6P for all the options you have with all of the dropins available today, but I love the form factor of the 3P. its a shame these are so tough to get ahold of these days:
The Mule has been almost a constant EDC since it came out, and I love the oily black finish. I never would have thought, a year ago, that my primary light (and pretty much most useful one) would have ZERO throw. Its tough to get your head wrapped around the fact that flood light is soo useful on a day to day basis, but once you figure it out for yourself, its hard to get along without it:
And finally, my EDC right up until the Mule came, a McLux XR19 PD. This one was a prototype that Don carried for a while, and has been a pretty much perfect light for me. I don't think you can get much better than a McLux Ti. Luxeon, Seoul, Cree; I don't think it matters that much. They are all incredible. I keep trying to stop carrying it since its a prototype and i'd be soo mad if I lost it, but its just such a great light I always come right back to it:
Thank you Sasha (or Greta :thinking and all the members at CPF for all of the enjoyment I have gotten out of this stuff!
