Living in the City you never really get a chance to test your lights because simply there is always a light on somewhere. I've tested some at my sisters house in a suburban neighborhood in New Jersey but a backyard is not a true field test.
This blackout was also a little different for me because I walked a few blocks to my neighborhood and I was out of it back to my home and my electricity. It was truly interesting to pass through a blacked out area into total electricity.
I took with me a surefire L2 and and gave my brother a surefire A2. After walking a few blocks the words that many CPF'ers have heard were uttered from my brother "Wow, this is cool!!! Look at how much light this little thing makes!!! Look over there, look over here at the way I can shine this up!" He was showing me as if I never saw a flashlight before!!!
The L2 on high definitely gives out a search light effect. I found many people confused, wondering where the light could be coming from. They became even more befuddled when they got up close and saw that I was not carrying a big 3D flashlight but rather one that fit my hand!!!
I was burning to take the MAG 85 but I didn't have it charged!!!!! People probably would have thought it was a car driving on the sidewalk if i turned that thing on!!! And they probably would have wondered how the heck it is possible!!!
Anyway those were some random thoughts, any comments, stories, questions, I'll be here.
And you know what it was a cool feeling to know that you had this flashlight light knowledge and practically everyone else doesn't. And I think my brother is starting to show signs of flashlight fever, his last words were "Where do I buy one of these? How much are they?"
