Hello! Light Head here

Hi everybody, I’m Light Head. I am quite new to this flashlight thing.

I started seeing these expensive, aluminum flashlights off the internet a few back.
To me, they were peculiar because I’ve never seen them before in real life.
And in real life I’ve only bought and touched cheap lights like the energizer ones(worth about $3).
I have then been researching about them on internet and I have visited this website multiple times.
I became addicted to it for some reason, and I’ve been wanting one ever since.

I am new to internet shopping and I have never bought anything from the internet.
But next month when I return to my home country(Philippines) I will buy my first high-end light(a Trustfire z5).

I have joined this forum because I have so many questions about lights.

I would say, "Quick, run away while you can"., but it sounds like you have already been bitten by the bug.

Welcome to the forum Light Head (cool screen name).

Thanks! :slight_smile:

And I might have already infected by the light!

Plenty of knowledgeable folks here to learn from, excluding me! Welcome to the forum!!

Cheap words of wisdom:

If you are new to internet shopping, you may want to be cautious as to how you navigate and whom you do business with. I would suggest setting up a paypal account. They seem to make purchasing easier & sorta safe. I caution using the Paypal Gift option unless you know the person (and sometimes even then) and never let the 45 day dispute period expire. Also NEVER send a Money Order unless you just don’t care. Be realistic in your expectations of shipping times from China and Hong Kong.

Beware of “some” sellers website claims of light lumen output and also battery performance. As the old saying goes, If its too good to be true, it likely is. On a footnote: All sellers I have done deals with on this forum are 100% Solid and good folks and do what they say the will do.

Finally have fun.

Thanks for the advice! :bigsmile:

Welcome to BLF

You should start with this
You’ll need an Ebay account and a Paypal account though.

[edit]I see you already made a choice.

I think I’ll buy that one as well
