Just got the newer version (2.0) of the Coast HP550 or should I say HP550.2? Walmart had them. Now at 1075 lumens, 6:15 hrs runtime on high, and 351 m of throw. I've got my Eneloops in it now. Two and half months into this year, and this was my first purchase ;-)

This light appeals to me!!!!!!!!!!!!!! i said in another thread a while back that i almost imported(cant get them in uk )iirc price was around the equiv of £50 so $80 and imo worth it,iirc its 6xAA cells(or is it 8) either way looks a great all round light,i do like the options of flood/throw for certain applications,also the twist head to lock(like my lenser t7.2)

Pics would be great if you have any i may still get one at a later date ........

Klarus xt11 upgrade & Fenix UC40 UR

Got a Klarus X11 upgaded version last march and a Fenix UC40 UE just last week...got interested on the XT11 because of the simple UI and it's so nice in those pics that I've seen here in CF...not yet a member then I was just scanning the web about led flashlights and I discover that there are forums about flashlights.
As for the Fenix UC40 really I didn't know anything about the light as I'm really after the PD35 to be my next edc..but when I saw the UC 40 with its self charging feature and it also came with a free fenix ARB-L1T 18650 plus 960 lumens in XM-L2 I did not hesitate on getting it.

I have a Fenix RC40 arriving tomorrow. The only other LED light I own is a Fenix PD20. I've just recently become interested in high quality LED flashlights, and have not owned a large powerful light before.

I own a cottage in an extremely remote area of Lake Superior, with no outdoor lighting, so hopefully the RC40 can shed some light on my property at night when needed.

I just bought a Solar Force L2P Host thinking it would be cheaper to roll my own light then to just buy a dang Zebralight. Then I got started looking at drop-ins. I'm starting to ask "Why didn't I take the blue pill?" This is quite the rabbit hole!

Hadn't bought anything for a few months so my first light of the year is one I have high hopes for, K50vn PDT . I also have 4 x Panasonic 3100 18650s on the way for it. Curious to see how they compare at high amp draw compared to my 3400s.

Taking a break for awhile. 75% of my lights go unused.

I did buy a Core i7, but that is my original (more expensive) obsession.

car: every 10 years
computer: every 5 years
flashlights: 40 - $50 is/was a reasonably affordable hobby

First light i bought in 2014 was a mako flood. With the shipping and customs, this dim little aaa light costs the same as a i7 Lots of my lights costs more than a i7, so its not always a cheap hobby.

My first purchase this year was the Fenix TK-75. No regrets so far.

First purchase of 2014(lights-wise) will be a Malkoff M61L dropin for my Surefire G2.

I traded some GITD keychains for a Keltec CL-42. But for an actual purchase, I just got a SF LX2 off Craigslist for $50.
