Now I have to go and Google that light because you know I'm a newbie.

I find customs like McGizmo and Muyshondt, etc, interesting. Maybe you will too...

I love my new Malkoff MD2 HA Natural w/ M30W and a 2 stage switch. Just got it today, and even though I am spoiled on SureFires and Leefs, this build quality, function, ergonomics, and quality of light impresses the heck out of me!

Re: Re-Starting my collection today.
Thanks for your feedback....I may have to try the quark as I am reading a lot of good things about them. Don's work is simply amazing, I may look into the saphire 25 or a bargin in the market place.
Ra Twisty intrests me- I am a bit partial to twisties and single mode- but I guess that is why I have become somewhat disinterested.

Re: Quitting my collection today.
Really wish you weren't quitting your collection.
I am in a similar situation with my camera gear right now. So I'm taking a break from it and trying this other hobby instead.
I did go full bore into it this past weekend, but that will slow down pretty quickly as I look at my database which calculates the sum - plus, imagine my embarrassment of going overboard and making it public knowledge.
Take care, PM me anytime.
Sincerely,
Lisa

I think we all go through phases where we get tired of our lights or we question why we bought so many 
For awhile I was really into the P60 style lights, but now I am moving back to the smaller lights.
I'm also looking at modding what I already have instead of buying something new.
Oddly enough the light that has recently impressed me the most is a "lowly" 2D Rebel Mag.

Get one of FM's 3x26500 Exotic lights here with CL-1909 bulb. Check it on my charts.
Spot on.....I picked up a 3 D cell for $14.97....I think it would be hard to find a light for 3 or 4 times the price with that amount of throw.
Hi Lux! I will have to check that one out for sure.

Instead of the latest and greatest why not look around for vintage lights? I recently was gifted a "Bright Star" flashlight which had been hanging around a convent for decades. It has an amazingly bad beam and seems nearly useless but it is way cool in its own way. I need to dig up some history on it and post pics but I haven't had time. It has piqued my interest in obtaining other vintage lights.
That said, the Quark and Preon line have a lot to offer. I hadn't bought any production lights for awhile until these lights came out. Li-ion compatibility in the regular series, the pocket rocket aspect of the MiNis and the form factor of the Preon make it worthwhile to investigate. The XP-G beam is a great albeit can seem green.

Good point....I had a 7 C Maglite that I sold in order to purchase my first "Good Light". I still use my single or triple nichia's for up close work.
That Kel-Lite thread in the collection forum is amazing.
I have tried the Li-Ion route....but still like the NiMH convenince and form factor.
