I told myself to only get high CRI lights, so this immediately kicks 99% of the flashlights out there out of the market and I don't have to buy them all. I'm so smart:twothumbs
For your sake, I hope it remains a niche. Nah, who am I kidding. More high CRI, please!I told myself to only get high CRI lights, so this immediately kicks 99% of the flashlights out there out of the market and I don't have to buy them all. I'm so smart:twothumbs
No real budget...just a lot of patience. I wait, wait, wait, then when something good comes along it makes it easier to pull the trigger. Even then I still usually research them well and try to wait for a deal.
I have spent as much as $3500 in a week on lights...

Based on your posting here, I also gather that you sell the old stuff to make room for the new. Obviously, you take a small hit when you sell a flashlight that is relatively new. Another way to look at it, however, is that you are getting some money out while you still can. Keeps the inventory down, and "sunk" capital, as well.
It also means that you get to enjoy trying out a lot of flashlights that most of us only read about.
Yours is a nice approach for the non-collector.
I'd love to hear what lights you purchased that week.
My largest single light purchase [$3k] was the Surefire Beast II when it was first released.
