Thanks for the welcome Concept. Funny thing .. I only found this forum recently because I was looking to upgrade my trusty Solitare keychain light to something a little more useful, and now look what you'all have done to me!
I've got a Miller modded Arc AAA XR-E 2 stage ordered for the keychain ... but I knew after spending a little time here that I would have to get at least one more light .... and when I saw, and read about the XR 19-C ... well ... I just knew that was the one I was looking for.
It's really been a LOT of fun learning about the various lights that are available, and the different approaches that folks have taken to tame and manage photons, and this site has been a wonderful resource for me to quickly get up to speed with the current state of the art.
And speaking of art, I have especially enjoyed reading many of the McGizmo threads from beginning to end and watching the progession of Don's work from it's earliest stages to where he is now. I can hardly believe that I'm going to have the opportunity to own one of his titanium lights ... and with a Cree LED no less. Talk about good timing!
So.... thanks again for the warm welcome.. and although I'm giddy with anticipation over getting an XR 19-C, I will pass the time patiently by continuing to absorb as much information from you nice folks as I can.
