Caught Some Kids That "Were Up To No Good"

So seems the real “kids” that “Were Up To No Good” were really the “Kids” up on the balcony with a table full of torches. hehehe :wink:

I hope you got in on the K50 group buy.

Smile. You need to send that HD2010 back to me for an upgrade - BLF17DD will do a bit better now Laughing, more distance, more shacks in range. Actually a Yezl Y3 will toast a HD2010 in the same form factor.

Agreed. I think there are a few hundred crabs on the Florida coast that have singed retinas because of me 8)

That would landed me on the news in no time. Next year for sure!!! :bigsmile:

HAHA I’m sure I gave those kids a story to brag about to all of their friends. In a sense, I just made that kid a legend 8)

Exactly on point. Never too late to get two high powered flashlights and play light-sabers :bigsmile:

I literally just saw the group buy today and wished I had gotten in on it. I never PM’d for a price, but I was curious as to what kind of a deal you guys got.

Well I’m about to be in the market for a new thrower :bigsmile: . I was thinking about sending you a TK61, although that COURUI has a huge reflector too….

There's some good deals on eBay for the olight sr51. I been tempted s few times, but I got a k40 I need to get done up and pretty sure that'll beat the sr51 hands down, and has a better UI I think

I made a 2P1S battery conversion (OSHPark boards) for the Olight SR51…with a simple driver upgrade…it becomes crazy powerful…you can thank Cereal_killer for his investagatory skills and building prowess! The guy is a flashlight mastah!

Yeah, I seen the mods for it but don't think it would beat the k40. Granted the k40 is twice the price and still needs modding

Great story!

Seems a bit calling the kettle black. The fact that you were turning off the light to not be detected says who was really not up to no good. You were probably shining the light on the folks that were staying in the next suite from you. Who won't want to play on the beach instead of in a suite.

Why not say it like it is and instead of rationalizing your actions as righteous?

BS…just another story of immature flashlight owners who were lucky enough not to have to eat those lights after lighting up people in public places. Very much like laser pointers in theaters of the past.

If you used the light to stop a crime then cool. If used for harassment you go to jail.

Agreed I’d be really P’off.

Oh come on!

Ima4wheelr and illuminaria, you guys are a bunch party poopers.

I agree what you did sounds fun and is something I, myself, would enjoy doing. But, I believe behavior like this will eventually result in stricter laws and restrictions on our hobby. Right now, most people think of flashlights as harmless. Folks will eventually start realizing the potential harm that can be caused by them. Behavior like you described will accelerate the process. May sound far fetched to you. Mark my words. They will, unfortunately, will prove true.

With great power comes great . . .

EDIT: I just realized that you called the kettle black again. You're calling me a party popper after that story of yours?

“regulation”?

Nannystatism…uggh

I totally agree with your sentiment WarHawk. I rather regulate myself than have "The Man" regulate me.

So what would have happened had some children seen these people having sex. Indecent exposure maybe? Maybe you’re state allows that sort of thing, but its frowned upon where I come from.

And like I said in my original post, I had the light on the other people (just walking along) for a split second and never the same people twice. If you’re that hyper sensitive to shining lights on people then why are you on this forum. It was all harmless!

I live on the beach. I try never to shine down on people, but sometimes it happens by accident. OP’s stories sound sensationalized to me tbh.

I like the story!!

It's not like you'll do that every day... come on guys, loosen up a little...maybe one day they will even forbid modifying flashlights

He isn't shining at helicopters or cars driving by. Some things that can be dangerous..

But this is just something we all enjoy once in a while!

Not condemning you Yourrid…let’s not play with what if’s…let’s show that you were “illuminating” things best left un-seen…plus it ain’t illegal till yer caught :stuck_out_tongue:

Sweet that you have a mega pymp thrower though…closest thing I have is a Convoy C8 and an Ultrafire F13 I just got thru tweaking…

Believe me or dont. Dissagree with me or not. Was just trying to share the halarious events that happened while I was on vacation. :weary:
