Thought I'd introduce myself. Currently working in Security after my printing plant was closed after working there for 21 years, which has rekindled my interest in flashlights.
Not that it ever went away. I've love flashlights as long as I can remember. Most of the first were cheapy little plastic d-cell lights, before alkalines were invented. Either the switch broke, the batteries leaked or the bulb broke, generally before a weeks time. First good light I had was one of those that screwed on a rectangular battery with something like a par36 bulb.
Then I went through the years with a succession of mag lights (even stock those just seem to grow legs) and other unimpressive flashlights.
Finally in recent years things start to improve. I have a rechargeable stinger in the camper. Mag Led (needed soemthing heavy fast, just in case) and of course a handful of mini mags and a barely useful edc led.
Then I find this site. Suddenly I realize not only how pathetic what I have is, but that it doesn't have to be that way. Not that I could really afford it, but I have three new lights on the way.
End of the story? Not likely
