New (again) flashaholic

Hello,
This is my first post as I am new to this forum.
Mid-1990s I was a real Maglite fanatic and, together with a friend, we even had a Maglite magazine (MAGazine).
Interest slipped, however, till last year when another friend gave me a Led Lenser V2 Triplex as a present.

Afterwards I bought another Led Lendser V12 Triplex and flashlight-interest was back again!

Thusfar my meager "collection" is as follows:

MAGLITE: 6C / 2AA / 2AAA (4) / Solitaire (2)
Led Lenser: V2 Triplex / V12 Triplex / V6 Powerchip

Quickly, I found out about this website, and other flashaholics, and it became clear other flashlights were to be acquired. So, the next models are ordered and "in transit"

ARC AAA premium
Led Lenser (already ordered): V2 mini moon / V2 micro / V2 nano / 360°AAA
Surefire: E1L / L2 / L4

I hope I made good choices with the surefires. Problem seems the 1 and 2 cell SF do not seem to have a very long "throw" and only good up to 25 to 35meter, where my old Mag 6C shines a lot farther.

I also ordered me some rechargable 123 cells (KATO 3V) which, as claimed, would do well in the SF L2 and L4.

I know Led Lenser doesn't have a very good reputation, if so, I will find out and will be able to compare. At least, they make nice very compact lights.

Anyhow, I feel quite happy being a flashaholic again

Kind regards,

Joris

you may want to save up for a good HID or powerful incan to round out your collection. Incans have come a loooong way since maglite.

i agree with batman. if your looking for a good sf that can throw, invest in an incan like the m3 and m6

Welcome to CPF (BTW, nice city, Antwerpen )

I agree with the others, a nice incan would be round up your collection, a M3T, M4 M6, let a stock MagLite look like electrical darkness :naughty:
