Over two years ago, I googled for latest LED light and found Don’s beamshot comparison in the woods. After picking up my jaw from the floor, I recollected myself and started reading BLF in more depth. Soon after I joined in the fun.
A lot of experience from BLF after that but the original still tops the list.
My most memorable experience was just finding this forum. I had tried a few that were slightly less than friendly, and I had no ‘finger on the pulse’ of what the problem was. This site became my ‘gateway’ to a modest flashlight addiction, starting with my venerable Romisen RC-N3.
Count me in.
My most memorable day was first finding this Forum, and discovering there are others to collect or build lights as a hobby, and spending 4 hours browsing through the many topics and photos.
Many many things are very memorable here are a few off the top of my head
The help that is always available no matter how complex or silly
E1320 and his modding
Johnny Mac and his zombie light and his reviews
Old Lumens and his hand crafting abilities
KevinD and his colored led power houses
Matches builds and tests
The list just goes on and on
My favorite thing about this forum is the kindness and generosity of the other members. You really can’t help getting involved and helping others out when you can.
Most memorable moment was finding out how to reflow and getting it right first time :bigsmile:
Even get to do it again since I gave it to much power for the host to handle for an extended time, the led is now at an angle, presumably hopefully, the solder melted :party:
