I agonize greatly before buying a light (and research like mad). I would like to buy that Starry light with infinite modes when i have the money though.
3 lights at the moment. Manker U11, Klarus G30, and BLF A6.
I just figured out that since joining this forum
I have spent around £400_on new lights and equipment so I think I’m going to lay off on buying new lights for the time being and learn to mod my own.
This forum really does cause temptation for your wallet.
Has anyone pondered the budget point? Is it that we feel we’ve saved money on a budget light so it’s ok to buy another? If we buy expensive lights, is one enough? Are we, like our women, so sorely tempted by a “deal”? Just why is it that we keep ordering more lights? We only have 2 hands, right?
Think I’m gonna have to do another give-away so I’ll feel better about it all…
My justification is I look at my other more expensive hobbies and figure flashlights are pretty harmless. I can have a shelf full of flash lights or a garage full of bicycles. Other hobbies I could get into are way more time consuming, expensive, or have other drawbacks: golfing, cars, guns. It makes an extra $30 for one with a slightly different emitter seem reasonable.
I haven’t spent a nickel on lights in years. It’s just time to upgrade to modern LEDs.
Take this old P4. It was my first ever MagMod. Sure it still works but an XM-L2 could make it so much better.! It doesn’t even have a driver board. Just a single resistor.
On top of the modding parts and supplies there are a handful of hosts and complete lights cruising my way on the slow boat. For my money, I expect hard working tools… That’s all.
Secretly, I’m hoping for a few ooohs and aaaahs around the campfire.
recommendation on here for the boruit rj02 headlight… and i tossed in the 878 with charger and throwaway 2 batteries to use up the rest and round out the order, lol…
two incoming…
this is only the second time i ever ordered from china and all are from GB.
if this order goes thru without a hitch? GB will be my main china thing… MTN in the USA is TOO DANG COOL not to use it for emitters and drivers, but… china is the huge selection.

needing to use up expiring points and the “flash sale” was too good to pass up on something i wanted anyways… (the head light)
Just one; a cheap FastTech camo SK68; ordered as a gift for my five-year old nephew as he likes flashlights, and this is a cool option for him with good runtime from a AA alkaline: https://www.fasttech.com/p/4168702
Yeah, it will have an annoying next-mode-memory driver I’ll pencil-mod out, and a generic LB emitter, but he’ll still like it…
