Well I had a great christmas and did well in the toys and guns department but my light goodies simply were depressing. I got a New P1D-CE for Christmas used it about 3 minutes and put it back in box and sold it. This imaginary halo ring being debated was very obvious to me anywhere I tryed it, Outside in the dark or hunting dangerous white walls. My Orignal Jetbeam 123 just has me spoiled for an EDC I guess.

Next up I got a 3watt mag led upgrade for a 3D mag that I never use. I installed the so called upgrade. I put it up against my Dorcy 1 Watt 3d The Mag got OWNED. It was sad the dorcey is a beatiful light for the 10 bucks I paid for it and it gave the mag a beat down. This mag light hasn't done a thing but sit around and collect dust since I bought my first real flashlight. Anyway I guess I can always mod it at some point.

Anyway did you have any flashlight blues this Christmas? Or where you singing praises for your new torch?

I got an L4 and I must say I am very happy with it. It's my first SF and looks to be worth the $$$. I'm now off to get a two stage tail for it.

GAappraiser what tail cap are you talking about? Are you getting a tail cap from an L2? or does someone make an after market tailcap?

I didn't get any lights for Christmas. :( But you can bet that some of the money I got will turn into lights. I've already picked up an L1T and L2T with some of the Christmas dough.

I didn't wish for anything this christmas. I always end up feeling bad when I get something from someone who isn't really into the trade, suspecting that he/she paid too much for it while I could get it cheaper myself.

I got a single AA cell 3-LED regulated light... long runtime and useful light output so not a bad addition to the collection (and it looks nice too). Really want a P1D-CE :(

I'm not exactly sad about a light I got but instead of a light could have had. I had an unfortunate incident that took away my SF Kroma fund. I've been training for a mountain bike downhill race next month and when I was cleaning my frame on the 25th, I found 2 hairline fractures on the frame. There goes $1700 for a new frame! :(

I got no lights! But that's okay, because I don't think I really need any more.

I did, however, get a 15-piece Wustof kitchen knife set. Ooooooohh....

Don't those frames have a warantee?

I took it to my local bike shop and they wanted the receipt to claim a warranty. It's a 2003 frame so I don't have it anymore :( I still have some other shops to check out.

Wish I had friends who are flashaholics. I bought all of my Christmas lights for myself.
