One of the neighbor kids (14) a from a couple of houses down is always down here hanging out and he sometimes likes to help out with stuff around the house sometimes (like putting up Christmas lights and trying to build a treehouse for our kids). We let him since he's really not a bad kid, he just fell in with a bad crowd awhile back and got expelled from school for the year, probation (which he just got off of) and the like. Plus we figure if he's here then maybe we can be a good influence on him and at least he's not out getting into trouble.
Anyways, he was helping me to put up some of our Christmas lights on the house Sunday night. To keep my hands free I used my Apex. I think he started to say something about how I looked until I hit the power switch and he realized how much light the thing really puts out with the new P4 emitter and how nice it was to have my hands free. Then he had no trouble wearing my old River Rock 2xAAA headlamp to help me out. Anyways, at one point I handed him my L2D Rebel and the kid fell in love with it almost immediately (especially the stobe feature and the sheer output). He kept asking me if he could have it until I told him how much it cost and why would I give it to him? So now he just looks for an excuse to use it every chance he gets.
I've already talked to the wife and I think I'm going to try to find him a good quality light for Christmas maybe (with stobe, of course). Maybe something off the BST forums.
