I've had it a couple years, but haven't really used it much until I found CPF and upgraded it with a Kiu socket, WA1274 bulb, and FiveMega's 2" deep reflector. I use NiMH rechargables. Now I use it a couple times a week to check out things in the yard at night when I hear unfamiliar noises. I've spotted a few animals I didn't even know inhabvited the area. I get a serious reaction when I pull it out in front of someone, of course it's no longer even close to stock appearance anymore:

No funny stories yet, but I'm half afraid if I ever do have one, I may be writing it from jail. That's the main reason I've now swapped out the black bezel on the front for a bright red one.
