Been lurking a while now, and what a great source of info there is here!
Picked up my torch habit from a chap on a totally unrelated forum who recommended the WF-606 as a great all round LED torch, then the ball started rolling...
I now appear to own the WF-606, 2x Ultrafire G10, 2x SK68 clones, 2x Saik SA-305, an Ultrafire A10, Xtar WP2 and 2x TF 14500 flames. Oops. The only thing on my shopping list at the moment is a Solarforce of some variety, plus appropriate drop-in.
My main aim, however, is to make something from the 2 Saiks. Seeing all of the modding going on around here has prompted me to finally wire up the lathe I inherited several years ago, and I really liked the 3xAA format for some reason, so here I am!
When I was in college, years ago, there was a girl I had a crush on. One day when she dropped by my apartment I jokingly greeted her, "Hey ho, whatcha know?" She was quite offended. Ever since then I have never called any girl a "ho". True story.
As for my wallet, compared to my other interests which are car audio and DSLR cameras, budget lights so far don't appear to be too bad. I could sell one lens and have enough for 10 or 20 lights!
