Going Bankrupt...But will Have Some Cool Lights

hivoltage · Apr 16, 2006

Yep...I will be broke but will be able to see in the dark. I already have a HDC ultimate 60 XRGT and need an Ion CR2 and an ORB Raw to finish my needs:rock:
Oh Yeah, also have 2 Photon Freedoms coming for pocket carry....1 as a spare.

I think I have a problem:lolsign:

It's only just begun, my friend. Welcome to CPF--and remember--buy both!

Hehe - yup, note the post above...the man shows you a picture of at least $700 (and probably much more) in just three lights. I don't feel as guilty with my discounted SureFires now.

Of course, one of these days, I will probably try one of those McLux's out. I'd just like to see one before I do. I am from Missouri, you know.

$700? At my last count that was $1245+ by recent B/S/T postings :green: .

Oh, and it's not a problem as long as you have at least one hobby/interest that can trump your flashaholism. For me, $1000 for a flashlight is now rationalized by spending $1300 for a turbo :lolsign: .

I figure those to be $870 (at time of purchase)

I am military....my Dad is retired military...I am not really from anywhere! :grin2:

You know the old saying on the liscence plates.." The Show-Me State". At least before dropping the bones on the SF's I got to try them out at the flashlight store.

I have spent quite a bit on flashlights. It is a harmnless passion compared to my other hobby, which is watch collecting. Panerai anyone?

Fiddleback · Apr 17, 2006

I can empathize. Been doing flashlights for two weeks. In that time I've bought (still waiting for some):

Fenix L1P
Inova X1, X5, and X0
Small Dorcy 1 Watt
River Rock from Target
Surefire L4

Famous last words. I think thats all I'll need for a while. We'll see.:candle:

Hehe. Yep, same here. Last watch was a Nomos, that was viewed as responsible. The JLC before it was not. After buying two HDS lights my wifes comment was "at least you havent bought any watches recently". Next one will likely be a Paneria, JLC or AP Royal Oak. Will have to lay off lights after that

Go with the 44mm Panerai 111h you won't regret it . But you can sell it for about what you paid for it if you ever did. It's a solid investment. It's nice to have a big watch in the collection. Then you can buy a new u/v flashlight to charge the lume. :grin2:

You will love the CR ION, it is extremely well built and has two regulated beams that are just right for me to edc!

Looks like flashlight pornogrophy to me. Aren't there any moderators around... how can this type of temptation be permitted on this site?

Now I regret spending the money on the Gladius... I should have picked up one of these first!

Do you have any shots of the front?
