Hi, i'm new, i've enjoyed the month of reading the various posts and had no idea people were so involved with lights. As a child I was facinated by mag-l1te, i loved the smooth quality machining, the simplistic desgn, my father was into lights, as a pipe welder he relied heavily on a decent torch so I was always introduced to new ones.
I'm now 25 years of age and I lost my mag-lite AAAx2 and AAx2 in the space of two years, the AAx2 was modded with the niteize led module, while this doesn't sound exiting, to me it was awesome to have a new battery life figure.
I have recently purchased a Fenix L2t and before this I knew nothing of lumens or output intensity, this little torch has literally opened my mind to a whole new world of nocturnal navigation and once again I am filled with the awe and curiosity of a 7 year old. In my city the torches like this are so expensive when I purchased mine on ebay (saving $20 horah!) I just assumed it was another overpriced surplus store elitish torch, keep in mind it was to replace a modded mag (lol), I was expecting perhaps brighter peformance than the mag, but was totally blown away.
After reading more about why it blew me away I found out that the l2t is about 55 lumens on a good day, then saw there were other units with 100+ lumens... this is not good news for my wallet. anyways I've said to much.
Thanks again, and I look forward to being part of the forum.
