Flashlight Enthusiast
Our family is going into a sort of self-imposed "poverty" for five years in order to become completely debt free at the end of that time. We have credit card debt built up as well as a mortgage that is still over six figures, but having run all the numbers, if we buckle down, sacrifice some things we enjoy in the short term, we will benefit greatly in the long term.
That being said, we are allowing ourselves to get a few things we want/need before we start this new way of life on January 1 of 2005. I won't be buying any new flashlights from 2005-2009 unless I sell something from my collection to get a new light. In an effort to save money on batteries, I'll probably start using rechargeables a lot more too, I have a Tigerlight FBOP and a SL Poly Stinger currently, and plan to pick up a SL Strion for EDC use in the next month or two. I also have several lights I can use rechargeable NIMH AA or AAA batteries in.
My current collection includes a variety of SF lights, including E2D, L1, L4, L5, A2, M3, M4, M6(x2), ARC LSH-P, AAA, VIP, Inova X5T, X0, BB and MM sandwiches in Mini Mags, several headlamps, and a couple of inexpensive hand-held rechargeable spotlights.
What lights would you all suggest I get (if any) that should satisfy my flashaholic urges for the next five years? If anything new and innovative and exciting comes out in the next five years, I suppose I could sell an M6 and buy it. Any thoughts or ideas?
