Newly Enlightened
Hi everyone,
since I'm a new member of CPF, I'd like to introduce myself a bit. I hail from germany, and the biggest knife forum there has a section about flashlights. Some members there are also into CPF & CPFM, and advised a closer look, so that's why I got here :twothumbs
Fascination for flashlights dates back to my childhood days, whith a gizmo using a button cell to power a tiny incan bulb. It hardly shone ... :mecry: But it was small and cool, with very limited use. Thirty years later my Photon Freedom II would blew that thing out of the water :laughing:
The years went by, and flashlight technology evolved. I got hooked on Maglites, my first decent flashlights. Ten years ago I read in a catalogue from an outdoor mail order company that LED technology will be the future and revolutionize the whole market. I didn't believe it then :green: - guess I was wrong
.
Today my collection and EDC lights has broadened a bit, calling lights from Dosun, Fenix, ITP, Jetbeam, Ledwave, LRI, Lummi, Maglight, Olight, Photon Fanatic, Tiablo, Zebralight and various obscure Chinese brands my own. And still my "wish list" and "interest list" get bigger day by day. So I well realize that CPF and CPFM are dangerous ground, for my wallet at least
So I'm looking forward to interesting discussions and lots of things to learn
Greetings,
Wolfgang
