in the last two months I have bought......
3 nite eyz drop ins for minimags (way cool, LOW cost sucker first step into this addiction)
1 cheap Chinese 3 led AAA POS (nuff said)
9 SL PP 4AA luxeons (one for me, another for me, 7 for X-mas presents)
1 Arc AAA-P (this thing oozes with quality and durability in a very small package, it went thru the washer once with no problem)
1 SL 3AA Twin Task (better than a Minimag but not impressive compared to everything else I have bought)
1 TLE-5 Minimag drop in (really neat way for a beginner to turn a minimag into a good light easy)
1 Princeton Tech Surge (a lot of lumens for the money in a small package but....just does not do it for me)
1 SL L2 (very impressive light until you start comparing side by side with SL 4AA PP Luxeon)
Loads of 123 and rechargeable AA batteries
1 SL TL3 (great small size practical light with lots of lumens)
1 Fenix L1P (so good that I have another L1P and an L2P ordered)
1 3w Luxeon drop in for an old Mag 3D (if you want to make a Mag 3D into an long running good flashlight easy this is the way to go)
1 SF E2D (this was actually a present from the in-laws, SF quality is WAY impressive)
1 SF A2 Aviator (bought this one because the E2D is so neat and I used to be an aviator, I am waiting for the mailman to bring this one)
LOP reflector and 9AA to 3D battery pack and WA bulbs and boro float lens to make another old Mag 3D into a Mag 85 (still waiting on some of this stuff to arrive)
1 15 minute Energizer charger and batteries for my daughter (she thinks I was being nice but actually she is being my Beta tester on this)
AND, I am trying to decide upon an Amilite Neo 3 or a Peak CPF Special for my next light.
So lets see now?
The price of all this stuff??
Way too much!
............
Shining lots of lumens on a grey fox in the woods behind the house one night last week?
PRICELESS!
