I want to say "hello" from a long time lurker who just became the FNG. My hobbies have been motorcycles and watches and now I feel as if I am on the slippery slope of the flashlight world. I just bought my first modern light, a 4/7 2xAA,(my last real light was a 3 cell mag rechargeable) and realized my yard is larger than the throw of this light. Now what do I need to buy?
Thanks to all you who have contributed so much of your time and knowledge to make this a great place.
Why they let me in the door I will never understand.
Thanks for the advice. I saw the "Cyclone C88" in the multi AA thread and I think that might be my next slip. I am not yet ready to move out of the "simple" battery world
Welcome and you might want to review your current mail box/mail retrieval tactics. Begin now to increase your control of all postal aspects of your life, so you can better intercept the many packages from China that are soon to arrive. Planning is key, stealth is crucial . . . if you're to preserve normal relations with your significant other.
Skilled used from years of experience hiding Playboys from your mom are soon going to come into play again. By all means get the Cyclone C-88 while they are still around before you take the plunge into lion batteries.
Again, thanks for the input. I like what I've read about the XIN TD's. The DRY (or other portable flood-lights)hasn't infiltrated my imagination, yet. I like efficiency, range (low low->turbo) and power/throw. If I had some 18650 experience I would probably buy a ZL 600. My 4/7 AA x2 gives me 2 outta 3 (ain't bad) but I want/need more throw. I like the PA40 but it doesn't have the low low I wanted. Now that I have the low low I can look at other lights like the C 88 or XIN TD or the Shadow VG-20.......but I want to stay with AA's so....TK-41 is interesting but bigger than I want and a bit more than I want to spend.( I am still resisting )
