I am faced with a couple of choices. I have scrounged $100 to spend on a light or lights. I would like some input on getting the best bang for the buck out of what I have to spend. I am thinking two ways here so this is a challenge. I can either spend the $100 on one light or buy two. This opens up SO many possibilities that I don't know if a person could possibly narrow it down to just one or two lights!
So for two lights, what are the candidates? One can be say, $30 and the other $70 or so.
Edited 2/25 OK, The Magcharger does fit my criteria, BUT, just for causing mass confusion, temporary dementia and and flashahol attacks,(standard CPF behaviour, LOL) lets drop it from contention, shall we?
If I were to spend $100 on ONE light,either manufactured or modded what would would be the very best choice I could make? Don't quibble over a few bucks, so $109.99 or so would be acceptable if it means a definite gain in quality .
AS it is unlikely I will have the spare cash to do this again for a while, I am faced with the near impossible task of making a choice I won't immediately regeret!
The main criteria in no particular order are:
Good value to price ratio. (not buying a "name")
Something that will hold value well or perhaps even become
collectible should I decide to sell it in the future and buy newer technology.
Be practical for occasional home and/or home defense use. VERY bright.
Not be so exotic that it becomes obsolete soon. (unusual feeding habits
Anything that I missed that CPF'rs like in a light.
I know this is highly subjective and has been asked before so sorry for the proverbial/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/dedhorse.gif but with the introduction of so many new lights just recently I would like to be able to consider everything including soon to be released lights. Also, there are many lights out there that I don't even know of yet, so I am asking the more experienced CPF'rs for their valuable input. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/bowdown.gif
Thanks to all!
