2019 taught me that physical things that I thought made me happier, as happy or nearly as happy as flashlights do don't. Not even close.

Happy new year!

I like both of those colors! Very nicely done finishes!

Vinh, what kind of numbers do you typically see from a SBT-90 Gen2 equipped one of these?

[MAD777]

Those 47's look like CANDY!

The triple XHP 50.2 MMU-X3 Vn has a huge amount of throw and beam width and spill and lumens for the size of the flashlight. The beam profile and performance eminating from this size flashlight is an amazing sight to behold. This is a must have item, you will love it!

DAMN

Can't believe I missed those!!

Gotta stick to Ebay, really wanted one of those Z32s!

Building another hypershift C2vn Z32 with all sharp edges rounded off. Should be super nice. I hate the sharp edges on some part of the C2 host and especially on the Z32 head.

I finally decided to open my first paypal account. I fought off the need to do so for years. I finally decided that even though there may be better ways of sending Vinh my payments, I don't know of them. So, as of ten minutes ago, no more mailing postal service money orders, as I have done for years. I don't like paper checks or credit cards, so I am using my Visa debit card via paypal for my Vinh lights for now on. Vinh, please let me know if I set up my first, new paypal account correctly; did you receive the money? Also, I skipped the Paypal buyer protection thing, because I do not want Vinh to pay.

[bigburly912]

Richbuff, I wouldn’t throw all of that in depth info out on a message board. Somebody could easily use your email to access that PayPal account and get your card info now that they know it’s linked to it. Be safe on the ol inter webs my friend

[richbuff]

Thanks for the heads up. I keep my cell phone password protected, because tons of people have my name and my email address and my cell phone number.

They do not have my paypal password. But, if someone can get into my cellphone, that would be a breach of security. I am not crazy about having a paypal account, so I might just delete the account and create new account when I need to get a Vinh54 light. Or maybe unlink my card and re-link when I need to. I very rarely do online financial transaction. This may be the second time I have done so in 59 years.

I made sure that I logged out of my paypal session, I disabled Easy Login, I did not enable Stay Logged on to easily continue, and I deleted browser cache and cookies when I was done.

Thanks again for the heads up!

I am going though W2s at an incredible rate. I used over 250 in about 2 months!

[wimmer21]

W30vn (2.66M cd) shining on watertower @ 1.2 miles away. I shot the bottom half of the tower because the beam completely blows it out.



Aiming right at it in this pic. It's so bright you can't see the tower at all.

[MAD777]

Wow, Steve! You're going to boil the water in that tower!

Wow! That is stunning! I would love to see a side by side comparison with the K75.

Speaking of stunning, I got the Nitecore TM9KVn today, and I think it is the most powerful light in its size classification. 9,120 lumens from a single 21700 cell, normal form factor, is stunning to behold. Pic shows size comparison with 47's MMU-X3Vn. (clear packing tape on the X3 is temporary to avoid dinging its newness)

[Chauncey Gardiner]

PACKING TAPE! What are you doing with them, juggling?

The Four Sevens: showing it to lots of people. I carried it every day for three weeks to show it to people, but I didn’t want its newness getting impinged. It garnered oodles of Oooohs and Aaahhhs.
