So basically found out about this forum via another forum that I hang on.. watchuseek.. so here I am.. kinda first post and all.
Long story short. Swedish guy living in Dublin Ireland working in IT... ok.. that was super short! :laughing:
I used to work as a security guard during my university studies to get some extra $$$. Did this for a little more then 3 years.. had a MagCharger in the car as a work horse and just a little mag on the belt. Since I was a student I couldnt afford to buy anything of my own.
Last year as a Xmas gift to my dad I bought a MagCharger.. He always complaints about not having a proper flashlight and always running out of batteries. So I thought.. what da heck.. lets get him a MagCharger. During winter time it gets pretty Dark in the north part of Sweden. Lets just say he have used it a lot and was amazed by the beam it gives!
Anyway.. I thought I might treat myself this year with a flashlight.. I dont want something as big as a MagChrger since I will probably carry it with me everyday to and from work. ( I drive a off road motorbike so never know where I end up.. ehum)
Anyway.. after some re-search and browsing around on CPF I have narrowed it down to a Surefire M3.
So think I will take the plunge on a M3 and get 4 x 17500 LiIon batteries. that way I have two spares if its needed.
Read a thread here about rechargables and if I read that right I should be able to switch 3x123As against 2 x 17500s.
If I like the Surefire (never seen them live or felt the build of them) I will probably get some of the smaller LED lights they have. Would be could for crawling around in a server room or peeking beneath the raised floor.
So.. stupid idea with the 17500s? Did look at the 8ax but for some reason I felt more for the M3...
Feel free to comment and challenge my choice
Looking forward to a another nice forum to hang out in!!!
Kindest regards
