Ok, since had my Fenix, here are some cool stories. FYI, I work for a large manufacturing company.
1. Saw the head electrician working at plant early this week and said to him, "you might be interested in this". He was freakin floored, took out the stock minimag in his pocket which he says he uses everyday and wanted to go to other room to turn out light to compare (Ha Ha, girlfriend joked about that). He just kept saying "I just can't believe it, where did you get this." I directed him here and Fenix site.
2. Got pulled over couple weeks ago for brake light out and I didn't have drivers license or my recent insurance card. I thought I am getting some kind of a ticket. Then I thought I would show him Fenix and my Mag74 (with 1164 bulb). He almost fell over he couldn't believe it. Took down my email to exchange info on lights and just let me go with a nice verbal warning.
3. We have had a huge ice storm and yesterday was on the plant floor and electricity went out. Pitch black. I turned on my light and heard yells, "hey who has the flashlight." I called my girlfriend that moment to say see this is why we EDC lights.
4. Saw maintanance guy last week come from attached building that was dark walking with a cheap 2d light and asked me if I knew where the light switches were. I said they were on other side of building and to follow me. Told him his batteries must be low and said let me use my keychain light. He was amazed and said is that one of those "led" lights?
5. Lastly, you can just imagine what a few of the security guards have to say.
