Hi Forum.
I simply had to share this with you fine people that can really appreciate this story. My wife's response was "What ever ...".
Anyway, my 10 year old son went on a school camp last week. He told me there was going to be some night bush walks, so naturally I had to equip him with some reasonable lighting (AA batteries only). I gave him a Thrunite 1A with a Fenix Camping Lampshade as a backup light.
As his primary light I gave him my trusty old ITP A6 Polestar. Nice size and plenty of lumens on AA's.
Well, he got back Friday and he simply couldn't wait to tell me what happened on the night bush walks! What a champion little up-and-coming flashaholic!
All the kids had a competition to see who had the brightest torch. Out came my sons Polestar, on low, and he said not many were impressed. Then he said to them "Oops, I better turn it up, that's on low". All the kids were pretty impressed. He then said to them, "Oh, how about I move it off medium and try out high!". He said all the kids were saying "WOW!, HOLY SH.T!, CRAP, WOW!". Even the teacher was impressed. It out-shone and out-threw everything else.
Needless to say he was leader of the pack on the night walks, lighting up the way, completely obliterating all the other torches.
Like a true little flashaholic, he ran it on medium most of the time to conserve batteries, except when the others kept begging him to really light it up on high!
Brought a smile to my face as he told me the story!
Regards all.
