BF edition: my next purchase Black Friday, OH NO!

I technically could swing the LEP with no issue, but I talked myself out of 3 lights. The LEP feels more like a wow factor, specialized, tool that wouldn’t actually get all that much use to me. It would also be over 2X’x the cost of my most expensive light, the sofirn sp-70…

wow its still this expensive? i thought the light cost 50$ long time ago when i bought it? thats not worth it imo.

its 35$ on amazon now cant get cheaper then that.

You mean the one on Banggood, right? I too thought it high compared to the SF-70.

I went to get the WK30. ’cause I’m a 70 old kid. Placed the order.
Somehow it wasn’t new. Condition Very Good,
which most of the time means broken package.
However, I wanted a new one. The difference was 3.00.
So I cancel the order.
Then I’m thinking I have a few multicolor lights.
Found one that has UV, red and green. No white, believe it or not.

Then I remember I bought one multicolor from a poor guy. I paid 25.00.
Brand new in the box with the battery, charger and 12V. Big box.
The guy paid 27.50 in shipping. Let alone eBay fees and PayPal fees.
It would have been better for him to throw it in the garbage.

The name is Stone River gear. They don’t bring it anymore.
It has red, green, UV AND white!!!.
Also has zoom. 18650. Rear switch. Beautiful. Black and dark orange.
They still make their lights in black and orange.

So I don’t need the WK30, since is the first time in years that I turn this one on.
And probably will not turn it on never again.

It’s just an obsession to have. Not to use.

Cheers.

Oh, I getcha!

I just have too many things to spend frivolously on more things I won’t use.

I already have way too many lights that mostly sit.

I too thought about the WK30, plus the unbranded LEP but $180+ on lights when I have more than I could ever use already feels wasteful and gluttonous to me.

Here is my list of real flashlights.

*Sofirn SP-70,
the Rayovac Beast,
the Manker E14III,
Manker MC13,
Fenix PD35,
Sofirn SP40,
The Coleman 4D and 6D battery Guard models,
Wurkkos WK30,
and my tiny Lumintop EDC01 Key light. I am also waiting on a Sofirn SF-11.*

I am seriously thinking of the Fenix PD36R or the PD40R. Any input is appreciated.

You don’t need a Skilhunt M150 V2 LH351D High CRI AA/14500 EDC flashlight. Or a Skilhunt H04 Mini RC 18350 headlamp.

I’m got the M150 V2 recently and I’m looking at the headlamp lol :stuck_out_tongue:

Do you like reverse clicky? I don’t. I got the Tool AA 2.0 anyway as my first 14500 and used it to get into swapping emitters. :slight_smile:

Would EDC AA with forward clicky be a better host?

I’m not too particular about switch types, but I am looking for something like a more powerful Fenix PD35 (PD36R) or its’ beefier brother the PD40R. Hand held with high lumens especially on turbo and decent balance and throw. Not really looking for more AA lights right now.

Perhaps a Sofirn SC31 Pro 5000K with Anduril and an extra 18350 tube?

Hmm, now you’ve got me intrigued!

Wish there were some comparisons between the Sofirn and the Fenix.

I already have several Sofirn lights and the price alone has me thinking it may be chosen over the Fenix options on my radar.

What’s the coupon? Ta.
