April 09, Flashlights You Bought This Month.

Gotta add a Malkoff M30WF and my Teenie Burner(laser) came in the mail from Kenom! And I bought a Malkoff M30 earlier this month and one of the new Solarforce L2M's. I thought I said I wasnt gonna buy any more lights/parts this month?
 
Picked up a Fenix PD20 from 4-sevens a few days ago since I liked my P2D CE so much. I love it, it's my new EDC. The Q5 PD20 beam is brighter and warmer than the P2D CE and has tons more spill than my Surefire L1 Cree, although the L1 hotspot is much bigger. Thinking of giving the P2D to my boy (he'll be 6) for his birthday since he plays with it so much already.

This was my first flashlight purchase in almost exactly a year. My last purchase prior to this (April of 08) was a Fenix TK10, whick I keep in my truck for emergencies. It kicks a$$, too.
 
Hehe, had a good run the last few months with 0 lights, however ive just purchased:
TK40
TA30
E2E
A2
:paypal:
They shuold be ariving any day now.:twothumbs

Times are good at the moment, im gunna give it a rest for a while now though.😀
 
Just One light this month, and I think that it should hold me at least until next month.

The Fenix TK-11 R2

I love this light. The size is just right, actually smaller than I thought it would be. The LED is perfectly centered. The tint is just right; and I love the fact that it uses an 18650 with the ability to fall back to Primary Cr123s. The General mode at 64 lumens is just right for all of my regular light needs. The Turbo mode (at 240 lumens) is perfect to reach out and touch someone. I really love this light and am very happy I was able to get one while they are still available to buy.

Happy Dark Trails
 
Couldn't pass up a good deal in the Marketplace and got a Gerber Trio and a Infinity Ultra, impressive little lights!

Also got a Terralux 220 Lumen light. Makes a perfect compliment to the ED2L and takes AAs too!
 
Wasn't PLANNING on buying any lights this month but almost as if I had no free will, I bought:

1) LONGBOW / McGizmo PR-Head MC-E'd~(600 Lumens) from Toby
2) ElectroLumens "Firesword". 3,000+ Lumens from PsychoBunny
3) Wolf-Eyes Boxer 24W HID 1,800 Lumens from PsychoBunny
4) On the list for SabreWolf's Mini Chimera too!

I need an intervention(but it will never work!) :crackup:

I was at Canadian Tire today getting new tires. I had a wad of Canadian Tire money I decided to part with. And for those that don't know, Canadian Tire is more than just tires.

So while I was waiting, I was curious and bought a Mini Maglite LED 2AA with "New multi-mode electronic switch"; 100% power, 25% power, Blink mode, SOS mode.
 
My Birthday was Monday the 13th.

I bought a second P2D Q5 at Lighthound on Tuesday and since Walmart in Livingston actually had a 2AA Coleman Cree light I got one of those today.

I tend to think that's it unless someone offers something on my WTT thread.
 
Just got this Piritlight today from KD. It's a CREE MC-E K Bin that runs off 1x18650. I know opinions vary on the output of these lights but all I can say is it is incredibly bright. Easily beats my 3xCREE 500 lumen light. Way brighter than my 380 lumen SureFire. I'm impressed!

And, even though this is a lousy pic (sorry, too tired right now to take real pics), I think this is a VERY good looking light.

Just got my Nitecore D10-R2. Earlier this month a Photon Proton Pro. Both nice lights. I'm on a single AA bender for the last couple months.:sssh:
 
Stopped at a Lowe's tonight after work and found the newer Minimag led for $22. Very good light for the money but I would love to find a clicky for it.
 
I've got an UltraFire C1 and a Icon Rogue 1 on the way. Now the hard part is deciding what is next, Nitecore EX10, Fenix PD20, Novatac 120T or a 35W Oracle, but I think they will all have to wait until I get back from vacaction.
 
Gander Mt camo G2. My first surefire hopefully will leave bullfrog's house for mine soon and arrive before end me april. Now if only paypal stops being a pita and gives me my money so I could use this little guy. :paypal:
 
I first responded stating I wouldn't be buying any light this month.


I ended up buying the Nitecore D20, nice light. The PD has me very intrigued.
 
I just recieved a Dorcy 220 Lumen Rechargeable 41-4299. Found it mentioned in another thread. $41 delivered with ac & dc chargers. I just had to check it out. Looks like a great loaner, and a handy emergency light. Looks like a very good office or business stand-by light. The light seems pretty robust, but the chargers and the phono plug connection are week points.

Chargers use Mini Phono plug which is very strange. No charging lights of any kind.

Head removal is easy and allows the light to be used in candle mode like a minimag with a bare emitter. The emitter and driver board are fully accessible. This could be a great mod host.
