Hi all,
long time no nothin' - not because I don't like you guys but because thanks to you all my light situation was pretty well sorted until yesterday.
After trying a few different lights, I bought a custom Sunwayman V11R from Vinh Nguyen with a Nichia 219 emitter. Carried it on my belt for a year. Lost it yesterday.
I used the ever-lovin' crap out of that light; I guess because my eyes are getting older it is harder for me to adjust to dark places, with a little light on my belt I could just whip it out whenever I needed to look into a dark cranny of a car's underhood, behind recalcitrant stereo equipment, whatever... I probably used it several times every day.
I haven't really been seriously watching CPF since getting that light since it just met my needs darn near perfectly. I do lurk on the transportation forums but that's about it.
Question: is there anything that has been introduced in the last year that I should look at? I'm tempted just to order up another one of Vinh's lights and be done with it, and hope that my other little light shows up (although it could be in any number of parking lots or buildings between DC and NoVA so that is faint hope...)
thanks!
