Anyone treating yourself to a new Christmas light? I found a couple of deals and bought myself a pair of Lumapower Incendios, a V3X and a V3U+, both with the XP-G2 LED. Also ordered a Turbo Head for one of them. Should be here soon. I'm almost fully stocked now for each vehicle, main rooms in the house, and the coats I wear. I'm good for now, but still plan to sometime get a Nitecore MH20.

Yes, more than a few. These Olight S1 PVD brass and Raw brass models just arrived. I already have the PVD Rose Gold copper and the Raw copper.

Yeah I've bought myself several as well, ranging from a cheap Manker all the way up to a ceracoted HDS Rotary, even though it may not be here until spring :)

Probably buy either a SF Peacekeeper, or EagleTac DX30LC2 (neutral). Weaning myself off single CR123/16340 lights and enjoying the wonderful world of 18650s!

I've bought 3 in the past week,it's been a while since I bought a new light. It's also been a while since Ive posted anything on *CPF . So I went a bit obsessively about getting a good new light,which turned into 3 new cases light's & I don't think I've finished yet.Firstly I bought an Armytek doberman XPL warm. Then It was an Jetbeam jet 3m XPL hi,to cap things off for the week I've finally pulled the trigger on a Surefire P1R Peacekeeper dual mode.I'd like Santa Claus to bring me a new m23 javelot from Olight but that would be pushing my luck

Just ordered a DQG 18650 Tiny IV. 850 lumens of neutral white goodness in basically the smallest available 1x18650 light.

It can keep company my two modded DQG 18650 Tiny IIIs (one is 3100 lumens with triple XPL HI and FET driver, other is around 1000 lumens with triple Nichia 219C and 3.8 amp driver)

Yes, I did :D ordered a HDS Executive 200 HiCRI in November. Have it since early December, and still have to wait a week, before I unboxing it. The wait is almost over :D

I am looking for a Christmas present for myself, that's what led me here, it appears I need to do a lot more research first, however, so I'm trying to educate myself. Hope everyone has a great holiday season!

My Christmas gift to myself arrived yesterday, Oveready V5 Triple Copper head. I really wanted to get in on the Sinners Ready Made Copper run but couldn't swing the extra this season.

Wanted a Ti Olight S1, but they haven't reached South African shores yet so it will be a while.

I tried but I'm 0 for 3. I ordered the raw copper Olight S1 Going Gear exclusive, an HDS 4000K rotary in the group buy, and a Lumintop Copper Tool in the group buy. All were supposed to ship by early December. So far, no dates on when anything will ship. I'm tempted to cancel the copper Olight S1 order. I wanted to try an S1 but I'm getting tired of waiting. I might check out the neutral S1 in brass but there is no way I will get it by Christmas.
