My wife an I just spent and wonderful night at a place called Evin's Mill in Tennessee for our anniversary. Evin's Mill is basically an old mill in the middle of the TN woods that has been converted to a bed and breakfast.

At any rate it gets pretty dark up in the TN hills and the main house/dining area is a good ways through a dark path in the woods so the proprietors provide, snicker, flashlights to the guests as can be seen below.

Yeah Right.

Well I had my Novatac 85P as well as a Fenix P2D and my wife had a Fenix L1T. Well needless to say all of these lights literally destroyed these crappy 6 volt lanterns.

So as we are walking back to our cabin some other couples came following us with their 6 volt lanterns. As they passed by us with my 85P, they both said WHOA!!!, you brought your own light and it is a good one....EYES WIDE. I lit their path for them with the 85P from our cabin as they walked down. Even at 50-100 feet away the 85P totally obscured any light coming from their lanterns.

So there you have it. An itty bitty single cell pocket light vs. 6 volt lanterns. We have come a long long way.

Yah gotta remember that provided flashlights are gonna be like provided pepper grinders in restaurants--they need to be big 'cause the little ones 'disappear'.
Nice that you had your own, though.

I live on a street now that has 2 measly street lights and it is so dark you can't see in front of your own face. My 120T takes care of that problem-I can see down the entire street with it.

I don't have a Novatac (Want one, but can't justify it...) but every time I pull out my P2D CE people are extremely surprised about how much light it puts out for its size.. Then I laugh and say "This is on low!" and show them Turbo.

Then I tell "no, you can't get it at Wal Mart" and that it costs $55 and I think they get a lot less interested... :rolleyes:
