Long time listener and first time caller here from Ontario, Canada.
I’ve always been a gadget lover, even from a young age, and flashlights are no exception. When I was just a boy I remember purchasing a incandescent Pelican 2-AAA light that I wanted to be able to use underwater. At that age any gadget that was truly “Waterproof” was a thing to desire. I also had my own incandescent 2-AA Mini Maglite with its black nylon belt holster. Some years later I owned an incandescent Maglite Solitaire, which I distinctly recall having a battery life of merely minutes, but a beautiful tint nonetheless.
I’ve now decided to join here after years of on-and-off browsing, as I am starting to become interested in modifying some of my lights and I have exhausted the search button so now I will need to start asking some of the questions myself.
I’ve gone through a year of AAA obsession, but am now more focused on 18650 lights, and recently purchased my first thrower: a Thorefire C8s
I wish I still had those old incandescents from my childhood, but alas they are lost to time…
