First of all, I have to Thank you for making this possible. BLF is incredible!
OK, Why I like flashlights???
I really don´t know… I like them since I was a little kid, I don´t know why, but when I was a child I was affraid of the dark… I was affraid of getting in the dark when a storm produced a black-out, etc…. and since that I always have tried to have one flashlight next to me to use it as soon as the power goes out… or whatever… Now that I am older, the flashlights have become more than a hobby…. they are part of my life…………
i like flashlights because it makes my job easier seeing in dark places. attics,crawlspaces,basements and in the winter months when theres less light outside.
Why i like flashlights? I really don’t know, other than the fact that they are useful in a lot of activities that i have, such as night walking, fishing and camping, the addiction is really strange. And honestly, i am not afraid of the dark, but generally i am a bit gadget maniac and like the fact that there is a lot of technology in the most recent led flashlights.
The mystery light should be a good thrower, such as creland 7G5!
Back in the days it probably all began with my dads MagLite 3D, which was so super awesome bright (silly me). Then about 10 years ago I bought my first Led flashlight, which had a great runtime, but not too many lumens
As they say, time passes by pretty fast and I had nearly forgotten my interest in torches; then, one day, my car broke down literally in the middle of nowhere, and all I had to take a look at the engine was a small, crappy keychain light. After hours of work, when I finally returned to my home, I decided to look up some lights on the net, and I stumbled across all these “strange” batteries, like 18650, saw some YouTube videos and so on . . .
At the beginning, I wanted flashlights just to see during the night while I was fishing to avoid an accident walking on the rocks etc, but once I started trying some XXXfires, I wanted more throw, more power, more flood, more runtime,more comact, cheaper, with a better finish, with a nice driver, with multiple emitters, and maybe more things I cannot remember haha.
I like flashlights because I’m amazed by the technology since LEDs are invented. And I can show them off to my non flashaholic friends and they would go “Wow”.
I recently got into lights thanks to getting into night riding on my new mountain bike. First it was a cheap and nasty 4 led plastic flashly light, now I have an ametuer collection of 7 high powered xml flashlights after 1 month of discovering this forum!
Of course it isn’t entirely practical, driving around at night in Vietnam isn’t safe. Other than that I just love these things, they feel and look so cool!
The mystery light, Shadow JM05, something about wolf being written on the tail cap seems to spring to mind…
I like flashlight, just because that's the way it is. It's just in me. Has been ever since I was a kid (cheap incans), college (mags), first jobs (halogens), unemployment period (cheap $0.60 LED lights), and now a bit steady in the older days (XM-Ls & Li-ions... alright!). Life is good.
I like flashlights because I love making night into day, love it since I was a kid and eventually loved it more when I took mountain hiking as a pastime. I already done two solo night trek just to use/test my lights. :bigsmile:
so the first thread was a joke/test to estimate the number xD
….reading the rules again I got what mean RSVPd damn I feel so dumb xD
gl to me, and bad luck to others …just in that game
mmh if win, AND Italy will defeat Germany tonight xD I will giveaway the light*s*(probably I’ll win all the 4 lots) to kreisler
I like flashlights coz are magic let you see/see better on the dark so trivial I like camping biking fishing on night so are a must… when I discovered china budget I realized that was also a cheap gift so started make comparisons and collecting some, ending appreciating technology, design, moddings ….I like to play with them xD
