Thanks. Funny you mentioned the people because they kept walking and driving past me wondering what the hell I was doing. They just kept circling around me over and over trying to get a better look.
About the lantern attachment: just remove the bezel and screw in the lantern. I've used it on the patio at night with friends while drinking beers and it isn't all that bright but does an ok job I guess. It does impress my friends though.
As for camping use, it should work just fine in and around the tent or even using it around the campground. The cool thing is that you just unscrew the lantern and you have a regular flashlight. I can't wait to see how much brighter it is when my XML gets here.
Great thread, by the way. I just realized I have lights stashed away in a million and one places but I have surprisingly few pictures of them. And by that, I mean practically none, except the stuff already posted on DX.
LOL Fishinfool! I love it. You know you're a flashaholic when...
- You take your flashlights for a beach vacation in Hawaii!
Definitely nice.

Sorry, "missus" is slang for wife. Btw, I've always meant to tell you good choice on your screen name. A 405gr hardcast bullet @ 1800fps works amazingly well on some of the larger hogs around here
Oooo, herro fellow. I'm into broadcasting but on the FM side, been an fcc engineer (for whatever that's worth) and WELL into broadcast audio processing for better part of a decade now.
If you wanna sound like God on the air, check this out: http://www.ceaudio.com/ an audio processor I'm involved with. Effortlessly competes with the latest offering from Omnia and totally destroys the Orban 8600, for a price that's about as cheap as it can be without losing money selling it. It does support asymmetric clipping too, if you have a DC-straight audio card to output it from. Like a Marian Trace Alpha.
Stop by the forums. There's some pretty decent 'ham' setups running it now, including a 1,000,000 watt ERP directional outside of salt lake city. Another proper use for the term "flame thrower". ;) Cheers.
Funny Don! The camera was a gift but I did spend a few hours rounding up my flashlights, packing them in towels to protect them, driving them out to the beach, unpacking them and setting them up.
I AM a Flashaholic and I'm proud of it. :bigsmile:
OMG...look at those lights...I'm years away from those collection. Which is your best light, old4570 and fishinfool?

I love all my lights equally but my favorites are the Aurora SH-34, the TrustFire F23 and the UltraFire C3 because I love stainless steel (something I caught from Don :bigsmile:) and because they fit just fine in my pockets.
As soon as my camera is working again I’ll have to take my lights outside and take some pictures against the lovely vistas of Bolton.
Obviously I’ll have to have them all turned out to fight the overwhelming dankness.
Fishinfool, I think secretly we all hate you a bit now
I think my next pictures will be of Mauna Kea in the background or maybe one with waterfalls in the background. Probably not for a long time because it took a half a day just to take the pictures above. Too much work.
