Much as we're all into custom lights here I was wondering if any of you thought it would be useful if I started a thread where we could post simple photos of single lights that fall into the following parameters? The purpose of the thread would be to allow us all a reference [especially newbies] where in case we can't picture, or have never seen a light we could all know exactly what model that name refers to.
I believe to be useful we'd need to keep posted pictures to the following guidelines...
- Only Custom, not true production lights, that were made in a quantity of 100 or more.
- Just one flashlight in a photo.
- As close to the "basic" version as possible. Different Heads may warrant a seperate post?
- No words with the post, just the Name of the light and the Designer/Manufacturer. I guess you could add the approximate time of it's introduction, but I know I could never remember that *L*.
- No re-posting of an already pictured light unless through PM'ing you agree to take the first one down and post a better picture.
- NOOOOO posts that are anything but additions to this MASTER LOG. There are several thousand other avenues around here to offer opinions (or heck! just make offers *L*!)
Blah, blah, blah...
Remember, the purpose of this will be that in 5 years anyone can go back and see exactly what a model looked like. Anyone can fire up a negative attitude and shoot holes in this idea. But I believe those who want to get behind it can make it work. I own several hundred Custom lights and I still scratch my head trying to remember if I recall or have ever seen some designs. I can still remember how hard it was sorting through learning the differences between a McLux, a Mclux PR (still gives me chills *LOL*), and a McLux PRT.
I think even those who pride themselves in their ability to find fault will reference this source in the future.

P.s. - One personal request?...Keissling if you can jump in with a picture representing the formidable "McLux PR" by entering the gorgeous 'Golden Dragon' I'd be much obliged Sir *VBS*.
