I currently have a solarstorm x2 mounted on my bars. it seems to be getting dimmer than before. I’m thinking the crappy stock batteries are dying. Need to find a new pack.
I found BLF through Google
Crazy thing is that I bought 7 flashlights in the first 7 days I joined BLF 
I found blf whilst looking for info on torches, I found another site first, but no amount of torches was going to brighten up that site, then I discovered blf and found the light 
I found BLF after being disappointed with the “budget” section of another popular flashlight website… one that I felt was a little too focused on the paying sellers and pushing their products. So I searched for a forum or group that had information on budget (also known as “high value”) flashlights, and look where I ended up!
Entry 1.
Hum,
interesting, anyway, like i said many times, I have absolutely no memory of what took me to the flashlight hell…errm…world
what if someone has
140 post and posts here 3 times. Then meanwhile the giveaway ends his post counts reaches 300, will he be disqualified? 
:evil:
The profile show always the actual post counts…
Nevermind I’m just making my second post LoL
I was doing a google search about LED lighting and thats when I met BLF and became hooked to the flashlight world. I honestly can’t spend a day without reading the posts on the forum, its part of my everyday adrenaline.
I’m in just for the beer :bigsmile:
I first came across BLF in January. The bulb had blown in my plastic Duracell torch so I purchased a small LED light off Amazon for less than the cost of a new bulb. I was amazed at the brightness of the little thing and wondered how much brighter a torch could get - I googled and came across BLF and a world of nutters spending all their $$$’s on flashlights - for some reason I joined up
I’m now a confirmed flashaholic 8) I owned one solitary plastic torch in January, 4 months later I have over 30 LED flashlights :exmark: - and still want more :exmark: :exmark:
I’ve had many a good deal from commercial sellers who advertise on this forum (one good reason for a flashaholic to stick around) and Gearbest nearly always has something to make me part with my hard earned cash :money_mouth_face:
trivial search got me here as well. was a lurker at the other place as well—some of the fellas there are top notch as well. BLF crowd is way funny 
I have a mild obsession with flashlights—they are everywhere in my house.
Was gonna say you need to walk a yard to be able to grab one—it is not that bad, have to do at least 3 yards!
…and lights range in size and power!
several EOS A3/i3, couple C8s just joined, couple fancy Dereelights, K40M(!)
Worst is, RMM is 5 miles south!
And I am a tint snob! Love my new underpowered but awesome Nichia 219B in a P60!
Thanks for the giveaway!
GB just got some of my money on EA11 (yesterday!)
I was always fascinated by flashlights. Focussed on the big names. Put off by the corresponding big prices. So I limited myself to windowshopping (later Google). When I needed a light I bought an incandescent 2D light, with the batteries as most expensive part. Always happy when they lasted a whole vacation. In 2011 I set my eyes on a SWM D40A. Looking for reviews, I ended up with the names of two forums.
First I visited the other forum. Where the boys talk about the size of their toys. Where the #1 rule is: don’t annoy a member who pays more than you do.
Later on BLF, where big lights is not the same as big names or big bucks. Where (lumenwise) more bang for the buck is something of a national sport.
Where most people are supportive. Where the pacemakers are happy to share the trick’s of the trade with the newbies.
Hi everyone, been lurking for a while now, but this has tempted me out. first of all, a special thanks to hkj for all the tests he does, making it possible for people like me to buy stuff that wont burn my house down, lol. forgot to add, found this site while looking for a new headlamp for fishing.
2nd entry
I have a secret wish I want to share (don´t tell anyone). I wish there were a “Mark as TROLL” button that I could click on when trolls ruins good threads by spreading their hatred or/and piss on every seller and fellow BLF:er J)
second entry, although i only needed a headlamp for fishing i now have a ZL 602w,a blf special edition and a jacob a60 along with a couple of aa and aaa lights ,courtesy of this site, lol
In a Greek forum was the first time i read about BLF 2 years ago as i was asking about flashlights… And i’ am very happy to know this forum, BLF !! I do not write here so often as my english are not good enough but i enjoy to read about my hobby
