I know, I know. But what if I get her a gold plated flashlight. Maybe some diamonds put in like tritium vials? Yup, I'm screwed....
Ever run into non-CPF'ers using premium lights?

You need one of these (the middle one)
School boy error, do you not have a work address to get most of your parcels sent to? 😀
The only people apart from fellow LEO's (and lots of them either just use the issue 2 x AA M@G I kid thee not 🙄 or rubbish multi LED ebay lights) that I have seen with quality lights are ones that I have given gifts to.
Most divers I know have some pretty high end lights.
Some cross country skiiers have $500-1000 headlamps over here
A couple of friends of mine had decent lights before I got to know them (lower end SF and Inova), but they have better ones now😀

An old lady I met at seashore got very bright flashlight and HID.
She use them to find shells in the sand at night.
Wow, where'd you get those?
It's my son, she told me with smile. With those, I can get more shells with ease, and others envy me.
I can tell she is no way to be a flashaholic, but I guess her son could be a CPF member.

Not yet.
I contemplated whipping up a conversation with airport security this past weekend as IDs were being checked. They had the UV type I assume. I was carrying my fenix p2d. I decided against it...as the wife 🙂mad🙂 would have killed me I'm sure.

So the other day on yet another film set, my friend took out an older luxeon based huntlight I had given him over a year ago. He loves it. It's been to the top of Kilimanjaro and back. Definitely a premium light to him.
Anyways, the 1st camera assistant walks up, and she says "Ooh a crenelated strike bezel." I nearly proposed right there.

I've never bumped into anyone carrying a premium light other than recently when I was stopped by the police while walking late at night. One of the policeman had a rather bright LED light but I didn't think to ask what it was and couldn't really see 🙁
The new job I work at often requires use of a flashlight (computer department for a school - we also have to do network/power wiring and this involves crawlspaces and attics) but the stock flashlights we are issued are all mags!

Guess I'm backwards. I've had several SureFires, Gladius, and other decent premium lights before ever hearing about CPF. Also had Malkoff lights, and several IR lights and an IR laser for use with my PVS14. I'm more of a gun guy and use lights where they overlap. Visit here regularly, but don't post much. Unless there's a paradigm shift, I'm quite happy with the Malkoff gear. Maybe in a few years I'll upgrade again.

Yet another set last night, ran into a guy with a Fenix LD10. He was rather proud of it. Had to pull out my JHanko-built titanium D10 w/blue trit. He was impressed. Needless to day, I should have asked him where he got his light, but there was work to be done.

And the people that cross pollinate in all 3 probably know what a BOB is, and probably have 1/2 of their knives and flashlights in various BOB's scattered around the place, and have firearms at some location lol

To call Singapore light polluted, even severely light polluted is an understatement.
It is so bright that even with a power outage in Hougang, you can walk around on the streets without a flashlight due to Tampines's streetlamps bouncing light off the clouds and back down again.
Btw, I saw a SAF Medic with a light that looked suspiciously like a LED Lenser 4 days ago. He doesn't know very much about it though.
NO, I personally have never seen a non CPFer use a premium light.
I was out with soem friends this past week, and I noticed that on eo fthem had this huge monstrosity of a light attached to her keys!! ACK. I gave her a nice small & useful Arc-P (and a little knife. Everyone should have a good knife) for her key chain. She was most appreciative, and immediately took of that monstrosity. That made me happy.

Thats because a knife isnt a tool, its a murder weapon... and only psycho killers would carry a knife on them....
(I carry a Benchmade Mini-Ambush, 2 blades on my Leatherman Charge TTI, and 1 small poor excuse of a knife in my Swisscard....)
Being prepared makes you weird... sad but true..
(oh, and my knives are constantly used to stab people and defend myself from drug dealers and rob old people when I need some spare change.... or perhaps I use them to break into that darn impenetrable packaging they put everything in these days... 😛 )

Before we get back on topic, I must say that I always get a kick out of people needing something cut, and then looking at me funny / asking / wondering why I carry a knife around.
