Newly Enlightened
Allow me to introduce myself! I am amazed that there is a whole community of folks interested in flashlights. It's both refreshing ("i'm not crazy afterall! there are others like me!"), and dangerous ("a guy on the forum justified it, so now i can").
For many years i have had a "hidden" obsession with flashlights - from when i used to go caving, to nowadays when i try to find every opportunity to use them.
I thought i was crazy that i was interested in them at all; I can't stop trying to find places to use them. My friends saying "hmm yea so i guess that's bright, what's the big deal" never stopped me either.
My progression was something like:
Maglite 6D
Pelican Stealthlite
... then i bought 4 more for my buddies to use when we'd go caving
Pelican KingLite (now called AquaKing i believe)
Pelican Sabrelite
Petzl Megabelt
Petzl Zoom
Petzl Zipka
... then i realized there were some serious lights out there i had to have...
SureFire U2
Fenix P1
and now i'm patiently awaiting my new Wiseled
And let me tell you, i couldn't have mustered the nerve to shell out almost $600 for a light without your help. Damn you
BUT most of all I wanted to say "thank you" first off to:
1) this site and the folks who support it by contributing and paying for it. What a wonderful resource - it's truly the ultimate resource for every aspect of flashlighting.
1) flashlightreviews.com and the folks who maintain / support that site. Again, WOW what a great resource.
