For the Danes, Norwegians, Finns, Swedes, Alaskans and Russians here, this isn't much - but I probably live way to the north of most folks here. Even when the sun is nominally up, extra light is welcome.
My brother (Who I last saw in April, it was a very nice surprise when he appeared today) who sells weapons for a living was very impressed with the Fandyfire triple XM-L. Doubtless he will be selling something like it to armies near you some time soon for $100,000.
Shortest day here too...it sucks it was dark at 4:15pm...:(
Seriously its hard to live like this every evening its pitched black...summer is nice though. I remember this past summer I had a picnic on the longest day, it was light until around 9pm, LOL.
