For the most part, I collect watches as a hobby. I like to wear different watches and I like how the little machines operate. Then a few weeks ago, a guy on a watch board I frequent posts a photo of his watch with this strange metal object.
Someone else askes what it is and he replies "...one of my flashlights - I collect them."
I'm thinking, "Flashlight - that's not a flashlight." I have a real flashlight (several Mags) so I know what they look like. Well a few weeks go by and I'm in a sporting goods store and I see a flashlight display that has several Surefire lights. "Hey, these look like those funny flashlights that guy collects".
I then make the fatal mistake of asking the salesperson to see them. I'm blown away by the power vs. size and I've never seen an LED light before. So I go home and find this forum and starting reading. I reading hours a day - really fascinated by these silly little lights.
Well, I joined this forum about 8 days ago. Since then I've ordered a Surefire U2 (arirved and I love it) and am waiting for both a Fenix P-1 and LT1 (both shipped by not arrived).
This weekend I also upgraded two Mag 2-D's to LED and am not sure what to do with my MiniMag or Mag 6-D.
So back to my original question, "How long until this feeling goes away?" When will I stop wanting more lights (and more power and brightness from my current lights)?
I mean, what did it take you guys, a week or two? :laughing:
