Hey All,
I've been trolling the forums for a couple weeks now. I came here looking for a new light that was current and high tech. My friend came over showing off his Streamlight Stinger C4 LED. I was blown away when it lit up the side my barn from across the yard. I was prepared to get a Streamlight, but wanted to know about all the other lights and manufacturers out there.
My current light is an Inova X5 SnapOn edition. I also have a 6D Mag from the mid 90's that I always thought was the shiz until I saw that Streamlight.
I got the Quark MiNi AA on order to have in my wife's purse for those emergencies, and anything else. That'll be a good starting place. I only chose that after reading about the company, it's products, and your opinions from the forums over the past couple weeks.
I am really up in air as to my next light. The Streamlight PT 2AA and PT 2L are coming out soon. I'm waiting to hear how y'all like those. I am also curious about the TK11 R5, or the TK12 R5. This R5 LED sounds awesome, and the C4 LED Streamlight uses has been out for a bit, but they are achieving higher brightness on same batteries. I also like the looks of the Quarks, and 4Sevens is making lights they want to make. I have researched and read about every light talked about on here though, and am open to anything at this point.
I also saw there's a multitool forum on here, and many carry one. I didn't know all the variety these days. I'm still using my Gerber and Leatherman from the mid 90's, and I realize that the newer tools are sweet as can be. I may get a newer tool based on all the talk and recommendations on these forums. I gotta get myself into the 2010's huh? LOL
