Happy Halloween!
Every year I volunteer at the Sacramento Historic Cemetery for a fund raiser, the Lantern Tours. Local actors do skits about the colorful lives and deaths of those entombed there. I am an usher. It is corny and campy and always a good time.
This year I used a red SF L1 as my usher light, my pocket light was a SF Titan, and my shits and giggles light was a M6 w/MN15 LA (last year it was a M3 retrofitted with a KX9). The M6 still satisfies! A brilliant white beam that throws without the dust glare you get with a 500+ lumen LED thrower. I also brought spare cells for all the lights and a spare MN15 LA!
When my eyes got night adapted the red L1 was actually a really good spotting light within 15 meters.
Now the flashlight snob in me has to comment on the lights the masses brought. The only decent light someone had, a fellow usher BTW was a AA Mag LED. The rest was crap that I would not let my 6 and 7 year old daughters use. My Girls have their own Surefires!
I was thinking about taking my Malkoff Wildcat tonight but I am very happy that I took my trusty M6 instead.
Thanks for sharing.
