Thought I would introduce myself.
First personal is Paul and have a slight electronic background from my ham radio days however that was a very long time a go but managed to pass my full ham license and have a M0 callsign.
I,ve always been mad about torches and about 5 years a go I got obsessed with torches and went out and brought every maglite version that they sold, At that time I lived in the countryside and with no street lights and surrounded by fields with frequent power cuts so could not get my hands on enough torches.
I also brought many 1 and 3 million candle bulky torches what were brillaint but would only last for around 20 minutes on the battery and would take 16 hours to re charge.
Anyway 5 years later and I have a garage full of non working torches and housefull of dim beamed maglites.
My re interest of torches started up last week when my daughters boyfreind sold me his old P7 led lenser for £30 and since then I'm now back into the obsessive hobby of wanting more power and light and owning every torch on the planet.
I have a condition called high functioning autism which is very similar to aspergers which is to blame for my obsessive nature and many days and weeks dreaming about modding things and inventing things!
Before I know it weeks and months fly past :thinking: lol
I was totally amazed at how much bright white light the P7 Led Lenser throws out and now I'm ashamed to even hold one of my maglites so now I'm planning to search out the garage for my old trusted soldering iron :naughty:
I,ve been reading the forums here for a couple of days and the mods here really get me excited, Some you guys have some real talent and I'm impressed at some of your designs.
I'm not sure if I will get around to designing by own as have 3 children with asd so lead a very hectic lifestyle but I'm considering in trying out some of your mods to get me back into the swing of things.
