+1 MAD, loving the ZL collection especially! Lots of nice variety there and mr Paladin also. Very nice stone
Thank you, kindly.
I'm trying to go the "a light for every occasion"-route (pretty much meaning a single light of every possible type), rather than just collecting ALL from any specific brand or even a specific flashlight series.
And with the Fenix TK75 2018 thrower on the way, and having taken possesion of a double-18650 Sunwayman T45 a couple weeks ago, I think I am getting there.
....I hope. Except every time I think about it, I come up with more lights I don't have yet. In fact, it's a neverending horror story (for my wallet)! xD
But it's funny though. I really don't think the majority of people realize how much value there actually is in a proper flashlight.
Sure, us who are here are all lightnuts to some degree or other, but while I haven't been here long, I have already read several stories of people who has changed their mind about lights when been introduced to a proper one.
I myself got one of those:
There was a...colleague, I think would be the most accurate term, who on several occasions commented the flashlight I always carried around on me (the Fenix PD35), and never understood the point in it. What did I use it for. Why did I bother always carry it around.
I ultimately bought her an (entry-level, I'd call it) Coast light just to shut her up. She e-mailed me 2 days later and apologized.
Her husband had tripped in the barn that evening, and injured himself. She remembered the light, and used it to quickly find him, check for any wounds and assist him back inside.
In the last email I got from her, she asked if I could recommend her any decent light, preferably with a wall mount, for emergency uses.
I was only all too happy to help her find such a light. And she never again commented on my EDC.
