Hi everyone !
I’m nikanon and the flashlight-virus just break out again.
Everything started nearly one year ago, when I was on the hunt for a flashlight suited for lightpainting.
(Now you know another hobby of mine, photography.)
I stumbled over Solarforce and the very nice Lego-system but decided to stay with AA or Eneloops at this time and so I purchased a L2r with XPG-R5 drop-in together with the 4 colored lens replacements.
Right after that, I decided that I definitely need an EDC light, so I purchased an ITP A4 Eos and I’m still in love with it.
Short after that, me and a friend of mine headed out for a first light painting session with the new equipment.
The results where not that spectacular, but it was great fun as always.
After the second photo trip my friend was absolutely amazed by the power of modern flashlights and so he told me to purchase another Solarforce for him, I ordered a L2 with 3-mode Xm-L with charger and some 18650s and it blew me away, that (!) was a massive output of light.
The flashlight virus fell asleep and I lived happily ever after, but a few days ago it breakout again, with massive consequenses.
I felt ready to switch to 18650 to gain more output and furthermore got into contact with someone (also a member of BLF) who will build me my first semi-custom drop-in.
I stick with Solarforce so far, but had a glance on other wonderful flashlights for shure, this forum may become my ruin. :bigsmile:
What I like about BLF:
It’s the whole atmosphere, when I do my researches in other forums (national, international) I often stumbled over weird comments when an absolute rookie (in flashlight terms) asked for advise.
Never saw something like this here, so my decision was easy.
I want to share some results of the light painting trips with you, I hope it’s not a violation of the forum rules if I use BBCode from my flickr page.
Edit:
It seems not to work properly, I guess I’ll take a look at the froum guidelines.
kind regards
