Find a light that appeals to you, it may not be the brightest in the collection, or founds upon a hundred good reviews. It may not be the most expensive light within your reach, but its certainly the light you would want to reach when you need it most. Find the light that reflects your smile as you smile upon it, a light that trusts your care as you would trust its reliability. Find the light you like, not what others like, and you will be merry...long after the next LED came out or the next model in the series. Find the creation in which you can stand on the highest summit and let the world know:
"This is my flashlight! There are many like it, but this one is mine!"
I found my flashlight, it may not be brighter than my friends, it may not be longer lasting than others, but it has been with me through hardships. With it brought me courage, having it brought me strength. It's like a good friend. Time will pass and many lights will come between us, but I can always find it in the crowd of lights, and know it is the one for me.
I found my flashlight, it will be the last flashlight I'll ever buy. I may try out others, but I know in the end it will be there, waiting for me. Ian, I hope in your journey you will find what you are looking for. Many have spent years looking. I took the one less traveled by, and that has made all the difference
