Today was like a dream. I live close to Lighthound, so I went there today and picked up 2 of Novatac's edc flashlights. The day started like this. I woke up from a rested sleep since I had to work late into the night. I called lighthound and asked John if I could come over and see his store. He said YES! I then proceeded to sweet talk my wife, so I could go to lighthound instead of going grocery shopping. She said YES! At this point, I realized that I do not know how to get there, so I call back to get directions. I get in my car and put the address in the GPS, and 30 minutes later I am in HOG Heaven! The only way I can describe how I felt is when I was a kid and I would walk into Toy's R Us. The store has flashlights and ascessories all over the place. He lets you try any flashlight you want, and there is even a dark room to do white wall hunting and ceiling bounce tests. I actually got to hold and test many of the flashlights that I only read about. The Pelican LED's are pretty nice lights. However, that was not the reason I went there today. I wanted the new Nova Tac EDC 120P. He told me the shipment just came in and I would be the first in Houston to get one of these lights. I was thrilled!! I walk into the testing room and there are three Novatac lights on a table to test at will. First, I tested the EDC 85T. It was awesome. The light was very bright and the tint was nice and white. I really like the protruding switch too. This light did not have that purple hue to it. The strobe was the best strobe I have seen on a flashlight to date. The flicker rate appears to be faster than the Gladius. I felt the strobe on this light had more effect on me than either the gladius or Fenix L2D-CE. I next tested the EDC 120P. I liked this light also, but it did not seem that much brighter to me than the EDC 85T. This light had a purplish hue to it. I like the fact that you can program this light. The recessed button is nice to have if you want to tailstand this light. I originally paid lighthound in a preorder for the EDC 120P. But, After playing around for a while, I changed my mind and bought the EDC 85P and EDC 85T. Today, I am really happy with my purchase. I visited my dream store and got to try a bunch of lights, and I met two really nice people, John and his wife, the owners of Lighthound.
