New Guy--Short Intro.

Hey Guy's,

I just wanted to tell ya'll how much I like your forum. I found this site by accident a few weeks ago. I thought I had it bad for buying all sorts of flashlight but after lurking here for a few weeks, you guys are way out there.

I drive a tow truck for a living so having a good light at night is high priority. I got my first Surefire lights for Christmas, an M2 and M3. I never realized how sorry the beam was on my Mag-Charger until now. One thing I can say about the Mag though, when I snap it in the charger I can hit every pot hole in Dallas and it's not coming out.

Also, thank's to you guys I did the bulb swap on my AA Mini-Mag to the Nexstar. I also have a Stinger, Ultra-Stinger, Lite-Box and a couple of Pelican lights.

Thanks again for all your help!

Eric

Hey Red Baron...tell me more about the Lite Box..what bulb you got? 8w flood, spot or 20 w flood or spot? How is the beam quality...wholes? shadows? rings? how about the beam color?...Welcome to the forums..since i have been here, I have learned tons and really upgraded my lighting.

I've only had the LiteBox a couple of weeks and haven't used it much yet. Mine came with a 8W spot. Close range the beam's really bad in my opinion. Wholes, shadows and rings, yea, it pretty much has it all but I guess thats why they sell a floodlight bulb. I'm probably gonna swap it to the 20W spot. Also the light's kind of heavy. That will take a little getting use to. Comes with a nice slip-in charger though. There's even an cool locking charger option. That way if somebody borrows your truck you know your light's gonna be there when it gets back.

Hope it helps.
