Having always been attracted to gadgets (knives, watches, cameras, and flashlights), I was quite pleased to come across CPF last October. It's nice to see that I'm not alone, though still a rank amateur. Over the years I had accumulated a Mini-Mag, a couple of Solitaires, assorted other penlights, and a couple of those yellow Eveready AA lights that open up into area lamps. Then about two years ago I found a Dorcy Cool Blue and was bitten by the LED bug. An Eveready folding Lantern came a few months later, followed by an ASP Mirage. The fever passed for almost a year, until last fall. I can't recall how I came upon CPF, but the bug is back. Thanks to all you pros out there for your advice and observations. Special thanks go to Craig, Brock, and Quickbeam for great reviews and comparisons. Since finding CPF I added first a Photon 3, then a Light Saucer. For Christmas, my son got an Inova Microlight and a Light Wand, while I added my own Light Wand and a Shorelite VX1. Since then I couldn't resist a PT Attitude a few weeks ago. But what really prompted me to finally post after months of lurking was the little package in the mailbox last Saturday. Promptly shipped out from Texas Tactical was the Arc AAA I knew I would have to get eventually. I believe the fever is lifting a bit.
 
Hello there.

You may want to check the Arc Forum for the 'Grey Kit' offer. It is currently sold out but Peter may put up another batch. For $19.95 you get enough to make one or two LSs. If you do this we can let you off the hook for now. Otherwise we might have to follow you around recommending other more expensive flashlights

Welcome and congratulations on you recent acquisitions (particularly the Arc AAA). I lurked around CPF for a while before finally posting.

Cheers.
 
Hi,

I have been into electronics for 35 years now, but since I joined CPF about 3 weeks ago, I have been dreaming each night about Luxeon Stars, and CR123 batteries etc.

I have just modded (a simple one) my Reactor to run off 4.5V - which makes it REALLY BRIGHT !, and this seems to have made me calm down a bit...Now I dream of women again...

Welcome,

Abe.
