I am going to visit my family out of town later this year and I was going to get a hotel room for the few days I'll be there, but my cousin offered to let me stay at his house, at no charge of course.
So, in appreciation for that, I just got the idea to give him one of my nicer lights that I dont hardly ever use and is in new condition with all the original accessories. I try and take very good care of almost all my lights, and that pays off at times like this. The one I'm thinking of giving him is my Jetbeam PC-10, which I just bought last summer. I like my BC-10, so I assumed I'd really like the PC-10 which costs almost twice as much but comes with a case. and has more options and modes as well as supposedly being brighter.
But I really havent used it or the PA-10 I bought at the same time much. So it just sits in a cabinet only being used once a month for a few minutes. I havent even changed batteries in it yet. Its a nice light with a very nice heavy duty waterproof case and a nice holster. It doesnt have any scratches either. I also took a spade drill bit and drilled holes in the foam that sits in the case, so I could store 8 extra CR123 batteries snugly in the case, which worked out great, so I'll include several extra CR123's.
He owns a few small real estate properties that he rents to businesses, so I'm sure it'll come in handy for him as a small-ish EDC light that runs on a CR123. When I think about giving away a light to someone that doesnt have a decent LED light and isnt aware of their potential, it kinda feels really good! Of course I'll be down 1 light, but thats 1 light I dont use much, so it wont be missed too badly. PLus I know that anyone who I give a light to will remember I hooked them up with it every time they use it and it makes their life easier, so that makes me feel good.
Do you get the same feeling when you give away a light?
