Flashlights you bought this month, August 2009

[DimeRazorback]

Well to kick the month off, I just bought a second A2 Yellow-Green

Now lets hear yours!

 

[paintballdad]

DimeRazorback, you know it's still July here in the US?

 

[DimeRazorback]

Yeah :devil:
But it's 12 hours exactly into August here!

Hey man, where exactly in Australia are you? I've spent some time over in Melbourne and visited Sydney, Cairns and a few others. Beautiful place.

I live in a suburb that it is about 20 minutes south of Wollongong, which is about 90 minutes south of Sydney.

:thumbsup: I have mountains about 2Km west of my house, and the sea is about 3Km east!

 

[paintballdad]

AWESOME! Sorry for getting OT.

Now back to our regularly scheduled monthly spending.......

I'll keep you posted as August rolls along.

I've promised myself that I will NOT buy any flashlights this month, especially as I bought 7 last month and several of those were quite expensive.

But at least I will receive one this month since I pre-ordered the Fenix HP10 headlamp that won't arrive until mid-month. . .

 

[callmaster]

I'll probably buy something no matter how hard I try not to. I'll let you know what I get later. The month is young!

HA Surefire C2 arrived in the mail this morning, hope that counts. I seem to remember once stating that I couldn't see myself buying a Surefire as they are too expensive. Well I got this one at what I consider a bargain price. I am totally blown away by the quality of manufacture, I now understand what all the fuss is about. The tailcap knurling though it doesn't look overly aggressive provides an incredible non slip surface which makes it easy to turn. The beam quality of the P60 incan is beautiful, my last incan was a 3D Mag what a difference. In all fairness though I will probably be using this as a host for my Nailbender warm 3 mode MC-E, it's brighter and has better runtimes.

I hope I'm not on the slippery slidey Surefire slope:tinfoil:, but I fear the worst:shakehead.

Picked up an E2D on the way home from work. It was lego'd within moments of me coming home. A few weeks ago I took the tail from my E2DL and put it on my E1B. So I took the E2D tail and put on my E2DL. The E1B tail is now on the E2D, and I switched the E2D bezel to a fourth gen KL1. The E2D bezel might go on my E1E. That would look very nice with a Z68 and an LF HO under the hood.:naughty:

SmallSun ZY-C41 Cree Q3-WC 3-Mode 130-Lumen LED Flashlight (1*AA/1*14500)

MTE 8-mode Cree Q5 [1xAA]

 

[R@ndom]

A2, Maratac aaa and a duracell voyager from bunnings as an el cheapo rop low with the dolphin rechargale bulb. (reflector finish already melted a bit.)

 

[jchoo]

Sigh. I had a weak moment today and bought an aluminum Bitz with green trit off of the MP.

 

[M@elstrom]

Well considering I wasn't going to buy anything this month... I'm off to a flying start already as there's a 'safety orange' Fulton anglehead en-route (as I write this) and with DimeRazorback continually plugging the Surefire A2 series... I don't know how much longer I can continue to hold out :sweat:

 

[angelofwar]

Got an M3 body, so I have a complete M3 now, and have a 6Z incoming :twothumbs.

Edit: Oh, I did buy the new multi-function Mag-AA...ehhh...

 

[gem]

I got a "MG L-Mini II" with a TurboHead.
It's got 250 lumen and uses 1x18650.

 

[ypsifly]

Just picked up an E1L. I like the beam but this one really needs an F04. All hot spot and tighter than either of my E1Bs. Might put it on a neck lanyard. That should be helpful during those times when my ROV 1xAA headlamp suddenly drops off and dies in three seconds.

My tenth light from SF. Just a couple more and I'll be done...yeah, that's the ticket.:laughing:

 

[Cataract]

I promised, I promised and promised I would buy nothing else till next year.
I ordered last Friday, but won't get most of them until I'm away camping next week :toilet:
here it is:

Fenix HP10
Zebralight H50
Quark AA neutral + AA2 body
TK20

Damn my lack of willpower

2 Maratac AAA on way (1 of each colour)

Also Lummi Wee NS should arrive this month hopefully but not strictly bought this month.

Not buying any more.
