Bit of an odd one.. Was thinking the other day about lights you get that surprise you. When I say surprise, that could be a good or a bad surprise!
For example I bought myself a new jetbeam BA20 for work and wasn't impressed as such, just seemed 'ok' must say I'm dissapointed with the supposed 270lm!
The other day I bought myself a Klarus ST10, it was a total unplanned purchase and I've never really liked the look of them. It was 2nd hand and cheap (hence the purchase)
It really surprised me, an awesome little light! Love the 2nd button and UI on the light, and what a great output it has for only 140lm on a single AA cell. It has a really nice beam too. It got me straight onto looking for a new Klarus! If this is what a single aa can do, I've got to see a 2xcr123 klarus.
So, that was my surprising light! A little light I'd seen online and dismissed for it's single aa power and relatively low output suddenly became awesome.
Anyone else got a memorable surprise story? I'm talking something you were like.. "meh, I'll get it anyway" then.. "sheesh, this is awesome. Got my new edc"
And, yes I am bored :thumbsup:
