I have seen on Fenix-store.com that you can Modify the Fenix lights to a Q5 for $25 for the emitter and $40 for the work. I was just wondering what the benefit is to do this? I have a Cree P3D. The new Q5 models will be out soon. Even if I didn't need another light, it is hardly worth saving 4 bucks, especially with the wait time for my light back, to upgrade my existing light rather than getting a new one and having 2.
What am I missing? Thanks.
I'm new to the flashlight bug but tweaking is what people do with their hobbies/obsessions.
Guns - Don't get someone started about different firing pins, triggers, springs, checkering etc. You can easily spend twice the value of the firearm for the "upgrades".
Reloading ammo - holy cow, the whole hobby is tweaking.
Banjos - People buy high end banjos, Stelling, higher end Deerings and such, and then they go through a dozen bridges, strings galore, and just about everything else, including the rim. Again, you can spend the price of the instrument again on gadgets for it.
Now flashlights. Yeah, I can easily see where people could get into what reflector, what new light, what tailcap, electronics, batteries.
I'm one who buys what he wants generally. I may try a different reflector but if I want a light to have a whole different switch setup, I'll buy another light with that switch setup. Other people just plain like to swap out pieces/parts and utterly personalize their items.
It's what people do. :thumbsup:
