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
I thought that I like flashlights because I like photography and wanted to do some light painting. Now I don't have any time for creative photography, but I still like flashlights, even more than before! Maybe it is something else.. :)
I RSVP’d, so I guess i’m already in for some of this. I like flashlights because I like bright and shiny toys. I have no idea on the mystery light. I stink at riddles.
I think I like flashlights because it seems you can always squeeze more lumens from that tube with batteries. It’s a simple technology that the average consumer can tinker with and there are so many options. But I think the coolest aspect is comparing even the average XM-L light to the crap you get from a hardware store and that most of us grew up with. It’s not a common device one would generally care to shop around for so it’s cool to see the looks on people’s faces when you see how bright your flashlight is 8)
I RSVP’d…I like flashlights because it lets me command the dark…I hate feeling useless at any time and having a simple tool lets me do anything at night…
I like flashlights having discovered at the start of the year that LED’s were brilliant. I bought an LED light for a relative a few years ago, and it was rubbish. Now, they are great.
Can’t get my head around the mystery light at the moment.
