First off, a tip of the hat to EngrPaul, a swell guy, whose title style I blatantly plagiarized for this thread. Thanks Paul. :wave:
Next to the important part: I am now promising to never again allow any light I own to become a shelf queen.
I have nearly erradicated cheapie lights from my collection; most of what I have now I have carefully selected and obtained through a lot of buying and selling and trading, and really really like. That means a few of them were quite expensive. However, I refuse to allow that to keep me from using and enjoying them. I realize that the reason they were pricey is because they were thoughtfully designed and expertly crafted, and because of this they are a pleasure to use and they do their jobs very well. Allowing them to sit on the shelf and not be used is a waste of my hard-earned money in my eyes.
Recently I have been EDCing a couple of fairly expensive lights. They are fabulous, and they do the jobs I got them for perfectly. I refuse to allow the price of these lights or any others prevent me from carrying them and enjoying them. They were built to be used; I fully intend to honor the maker's wishes, and use them to the full, reveling in every minute of burntime. :thumbsup:
WHO IS WITH ME? NO MORE SHELF QUEENS! :rock: :rock: :rock:
