new here! sayin hello!

What's up Guys! Let me just start off by saying that I'm finally admitting that I'm hooked. I realized that this afternoon when it dawned on me that for the last three days I've been surfing the net looking for an Xmas gift for "me".....and of all things I could buy myself what do I look for? Another flashlight!!!:thinking:. What is soo mystical about flashlights? I don't get it. It's like being a moth drawn to a light bulb. You just can't help yourself.

Anyways I'm 32, and work for an Audio Visual company. By trade I'm a Lighting Technician/ Programmer/ amatuer Lighting Designer but fill many rolls in my line of work. The nice thing about my job is it justifies my growing obsession for flashlights (for now).

My first "real" flashlight purchase was a Surefire G2. At the time I thought that light was amazing, until I learned more and more. Now, I have a small, but soon to be growing collection:
-G2
-Pelican M1 3310
-Inova R3A-T
-Palm Balze
-Fenix L2D CE
-Petzl Tikka headlight
...and a couple dorcy led flashlights I bought long time ago


I stumbled onto CPF awhile ago and was soo glad I did. It has introduced me to a whole world of flashlights I never would have known existed. Keep up the good work guys! Thanks for reading!
