April 2010 Flashlights you bought this month..

After weeks of reading selfbuilt's review of the Olight M21 Luminous SST-50 over and over again, I reluctantly pulled the trigger on it at Lightjunction using the awesome CPF discount. I found the M21 cheaper on ebay, but why take the risk when I can get it from a reputable dealer?

I bought the Olight M21 to replace my trusty 'ol Surefire 6P w/LED drop-in. Hopefully, I won't have buyer's remorse...

Also ordered a bunch of AW 18650 2600 mAh to boost the run-times a bit on a few lights and some Nyogel lube from Lighthound.

Now comes the hard part...the wait. 😗
 
My shipment from 4Sevens:

Preon II (black/titanium)
Preon I (gold)
Mini 123 black
Mini 123 titanium (SOOOO pretty!! 😀)

They're all great. I love the size of the Minis, but I'm not sold on the UI because sometimes if you apply a bit of pressure while twisting on, it will jump through low and medium and go to high when I was after low. Definitely not a deal breaker though - I love them. The Preon II in black and Ti is just beautiful.

I also got some of those emergency glow sticks (the ones that you bend, crack and shake). Good fun.

I received the Preon II just this last week...in black...what a beautiful, brilliant light! The texture of it is amazing too, it's almost like it is rubberized, but it's not.

I have yet another order with with 4Sevens, another Mini123 Ti and and Mini123 Al. Should be here on Monday!!! WOOOO!!!
 
It's not a flashlight, but in a related note I just bought a red Coleman Pack-Away 4 AA LED lantern with a Cree XR-C emitter inside. I bought it at Target and it's *perfect* for when I have a blackout, which happens regularly where I live.

Originally I was strongly considering the River Rock LED lantern, but I didn't like its 3 AA arrangement. Once I read about the Coleman Pack-Away lantern on CPF and saw in person how small it was in its compacted form, I gave up on the River Rock one.

After giving the MagLite XL100 to my son my daughter felt left out :mecry:so I gave her my trusty 4Sevens MiNi AA. Now she's :twothumbs again, and this gave me an excuse to buy a MiNi 123 to replace it! Order placed yesterday with anticipated arrival some time early next week.
Surprise, surprise! It showed up today. I'm happy again :wave:
 
Only danger is that Lighthound is an awesome website. I very much want to continue to fork over money to buy stuff from there.

Indeed LH is bad for your wallet. Was there last week to buy a Lumens Factory bulb for the M4 and ordered that along with a Leatherman gift set. Somehow there's an inkling in my head I'll need to go and order some more stuff sometime
 
I ordered a selection of Fenix E01's in a variety of colours late last week. They should be arriving tomorrow!
 
They only light I bought this month is the Mellert TL231. I want to build me a HID spotlight but it's kind of hard find a good host over here in Germany 🙁.
