You’ve still got time to turn away, dude!

There are so many flashlights to learn about and then buy. I first came here to research “the last” flashlight I was ever going to buy. This flashlight was going to replace the last flashlight I bought, which was supposed to be my “one flashlight to rule them all” light, and then I realized that the coke can flashlight while potent was not really going to work in any situation other than being on a job site, much less trying to wear one on my belt while driving.

I bought 3 flashlights in June, this place is addictive.

Welcome aboard!

Welcome to BLF mikelight! Cornwall is a great place for checking and using flashlights (not so much where I live :frowning: )

Haha! yeah P10pablo :slight_smile:
I got hooked a while back with the 3-cell maglite, with my first drop-in led upgrade kit. It amazed me how bright it was, and with the maglite’s deep reflector, it wowed! a lot of people when I went camping. I thought nothing could be brighter.
Then I got a Terralux (130 lumen I think) flashlight, of which I bought three, thinking nothing is gonna beat these.
It carried on from there :slight_smile:

A love of flashlights is very interesting. It definitely feels like some of us are big into them, while others (most) could care less. It is kinda like the phone, where I do use my flashlight and camera, but they’re always a compromise to the far superior daily carry camera I have, and the torch I carry with me.

Back to flashlights though, i’ve always loved flashlights and i’ve always been drawn to buying them. As a kid, a flashlight was always in my hand after dark, I was either reading under the blanket, or chasing creatures in the night.

Lastly, what is the light in the lower hand corner?

Thanks!
