August 2010: lights you bought this month

[jp2515]

So now that it is August, why lights did you buy?

Just picked up a Fenix L2T from the Marketplace.

Hogokansatsukan on the marketplace is offering the first 20 buyers who pick up an HDS Ra clicky a free customized leather holster to your specs. I configured up an Ra Clicky and finished the details for a holster so that's the first purchase of the month

Muuuuussssttttttt.......ressssssssiiiiiiisssssst

I bought a SureFire E1B Backup. Love it.

Also modded one of my 6P LEDs with a pocket clip and a strike bezel. Does that count?

 

[Ronin28]

I'm going to attempt to NOT purchase ANY flashlights during August...the only question is will I prevail???

Resistance if futile!!!

I'm going to attempt to NOT purchase ANY flashlights during August...the only question is will I prevail???

I failed MISERABLY in July and I think it's picking up again for August...

just picked up the hds/novatac marine light off of the marketplace. first purchase for august.

No, a PD20 is headed my way!

 

[sed6]

My 2nd LD10 (R4) is headed my way. I'm really falling for the AA form factor. It is my ONE light for all silly questions (first, last, only, best brand, SHTF, etc questions), replacing my PD30. A 14500 turns it into a rocket but it can be fed with any AA's on hand in a pinch.

Bugoutgear has "New JetBeam Models" listed under coming soon. Good luck not buying a light in August kids!:nana:

This month I'm taking a wild shot in the dark and sending $100 to a Chinese wholesaler who claims to have Nitecore D10 R2's (ramping UI) in stock. Maybe he'll take the money and run, or maybe I'll get exactly what I ordered. I guess I'll find out in a few weeks.

If it shows up, I'll take lots of pictures for you guys and gals.

 

[ExZeRoEx]

Got myself an LX2 on Monday!

 

[nanomu]

Managed to get only one inexpensive light in July.

So far I have several "accessories" on the way (batteries, dropins, etc). As for a completely new light, I'm still deciding and waiting for something interesting to pop up.

 

[experimentjon]

I took the leap of faith, and finally ordered up a Surefire after hearing so much about how great they are...actually three Surefires. I am excited to see them when I get home.

Specifically:
LX2 Lumamax
A2 LED Aviator (Red)
E1B Backup

Let's see if these three lights are as wonderful as everyone says, compared to the made in China 4Sevens and Fenix lights that I'm used to.

Arc aaa DS(?) - just sent it off to Milky for an xp-e neutral upgrade, if possible, along w/ others: Nautilus- XP-G Neutral, Arc AA xp-e neutral

Peak El Capitan Stainless Steel #0


That should do it for this month unless Henry comes out w/ something new:tinfoil:.

 

[oldways]

SureFire A2 Aviator green led with FM Strion kit and Oregon Shooter tailstand.

 

[Foxfyre]

RA Executive 140.

This thing is fantastic!:bow: Why in the wide world of weirdness didn't I do this sooner?

 

[jamesmtl514]

I will not buy a flashlight this month...

it helps that i'll be receiving a light i bought in July soon

 

[jp2515]

I am diseased! Checking the Marketplace was not helpful either because I have a Icon Rogue and Rayovac Sportsman Extreme courtesy of the sale at Radio Shack.

 

[Black Rose]

I just won an auction for a Rayovac S22M 2D flashlight (circa 1965) for ~$16 shipped.

It still has the original price stamped on it.

EDIT: I ordered an incan 3.7V D26 drop-in and some D26 keeper tubes from Lumens Factory on Monday.
