Not Good; 2days, 2 lights

I only joined this site yesterday. Based on reviews

Day 1: Nuwai QIII
Day 2: Fenix P1


Actually after buying the QIII, I figured that I would get the P1 down the road; for comparison. But with the 10% August discount at Fenix-Store, I had to throw my schedule out.

Sidenote:
Yesterday I found a thread where members were doing a head to head between these 2 pocket rockets, but i can't find it today. Does anyone have the URL/Link ?

it gets worse, not better. Hide your wallet.

Just give up now...don't try to justify anything...you're stuck...you're addicted. Just wait till you get that craving to sell your first child for a McLux PDIII...ok, not that bad maybe...but just you wait.

Now you need to get a Civictor (or L1P if you HAVE to have a clickie) from the Fenix store to fill in that gaping AA battery hole you so clearly have....

Thats how it goes. How many times have I said to myself, I`m going to get one anyway...so why not now. And of course, there`s the excitement of checking the mailbox to see if your new honey has arrived...and the heart wrenching disapointment when they haven`t. And the thrill of spending that first night, alone, with your new love. Some poor souls live thier entire lives with only a plastic 2 D cell thing, never knowing true light.

We need veriety. We just can`t be loyal to only one. We need a whole herum of lights. We justify our needs in any way that allows the purchase. I need one for up close, one for throw, one for vacations, one for movies, one for walking, one for camping, one for showering, one for the car and a couple hundred for every day carry... ect.

WOW!! Isn't that how we all feel!!!

Really man... Hide your wallet... even your change. I hid my wallet a week ago, now I can't find it so I'm collecting spare change from around the house to get my next fix......uh I mean light..

You guys crack me up. I'm glad I don't have whatever you all have. I really need my flashlights. I don't buy them because of some alleged addiction. I buy them because…

it's dark at night…

and I need them.

My 7 Surefires. My 4 Fenixs. Both my Inovas, both of my Golstons, and both of my Streamlights. My Nuwai, Huntlight, LR-10W, G&P Scorpion, Elektro Lumens Tri-Star Phazer, Dorcey spotlight and my Acro X990 HID.

I need them. You believe me… don't you??? I'm not sick like you guys… right???

I'm glad I don't have what you guys have!

Yes, it is amusing how we all sit around anxiously awaiting the postal carrier or courier to arrive. FedEx from the west coast seems to have a lengthy "dormant period" in tracking the parcel. That's no fun for a tracking number where's-my-flashlight junkie!

When vendors ship FedEx or UPS, I have them send it to my office. Why? Do you think I want the driver collecting a signature from my tending-to-newborn wife for another flashlight? :sweat: Besides, the reception desk is always attended, but my wife might step out for an errand. And UPS & FedEx tend to come around 9 and 12, respectively, so I can ogle my new light at lunch.

And who wants the dreaded UPS sticky note on their front door indicating they've missed you?

I've certainly added a light to an order because "I'm just going to get it later anyway. Might as well reduce the per-flashlight shipping costs."

In the past month or so, i've gotten or have committed to buying...

1) Jet-1 mk2
1) Jet-1 mk1
1) Luxogen cr123
1) Luxogen cr2
1) Jil clone cr2
16) K2 u bins
2) rcr123 batts
1)DSD charger
2) 14500

I still need driver boards, reflectors, BATTERIES!!!!

Probably will be on the list soon..

2) 14500
2) rcr123
2) 18650


When i get into something, i get into it, in a big way.

Going to make my first maglite mod if i don't find a better host. i figure 3 or 4 k2s should be blinding


EDIT: Even worse, i've only been at this a month and i'm already thinking up ways to get a lathe/lathe time. Custom lights, here i come! Lol, shoot me.

Oh yeah, should probably mention that i'm a poor college student.
...Wait, what's eating? You spend money on what? Food? Why would anyone do that? But check out how bright this light i just got is....

Oh yeah, i should probably mention that this addiction (which started a while ago..about 2 years ago? With my x5 and CMG IU then my dad's T4 for christmas...) also led to me buying new HID headlights for my car

Been there already. HIDs for my out of spec Eclipse GST.

Over the weekend I'll start looking into RCR123s.

Yep. Got those too - HID high and low beams for my Nissan Altima SE-R. Because...

I need them.

Right???

Not to mention the 400 watt high pressure sodium vapor HID wall-pack on the back of my house to illuminate my back yard. We're talking 51,000 lumens here.

BABY!

Light is good!

Oh yea!

Yep. I'm Glad I don't have what you guys have.

Oh, he may appear strong on the outside, but he's crying on the inside.....on the inside.

Hmmm... How many Cr123a's would it take to power this baby.. I bet I could EDC this thing. Still some people would say 51,000 lumens is not enough....

I bet with a reflector redesign and custom optics, you could get atleast 51,005, maybe even 51,005.3. I mean, damn.:laughing:

Heh heh, when I saw the title I thought this was a followup post to " 2 days, 2 nights, 2 lights".

In any case, welcome to CPF!

Day 4: Luxogen LR5-3W (HAIII) - avaialble again at $28.95 shipped

:huh:
