Loosing my flashanol craving.....Please submit one suggestion so I might get my mojo back, or I may have to leap off of the Marketplace bridge.
Thanks.

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

Take up diving and then you can start all over with dive lights!
 
I think we all go through phases where we get tired of our lights or we question why we bought so many :broke:

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.

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.
