Hello all :)

Hi! My name is Celest, I’m a casual flashlight enjoyer and (at times reckless with batteries especially if not Li-ion, just blew up my Nebo Tools Newton 2500 due to Ni-MH failure outgassing last night lol) electrical engineer. Used to be active-ish on CPF half a decade ago but have decided to come here after a while. I’m also admittedly the direct trigger to @wolfgirl42 's chronic flashlight hyperaddiction after she got a little inspired into the hobby by the stash of subpar but still better than nothing 500 and less lumen flashlights I had back in my broke college student days when we first got to know each other. I’ve got a bunch of random lights, mainly some higher-tier consumer market ones (2x Kodiak Kolossus 15k [portable sun bright but probably not quite as high as advertised], two different InfinityX1 lights that use fully proprietary batteries, etc…) cause I oddly love brighter COB flood lights contrary to what most flashaholics seem to like lol, some better quality generics (two of which I chemically dedomed/depohosphored for royal blue conversion), a collection of decent quallity but obviously counterfeit UltraFire lights, a few random really crappy lights, a half acceptable Duracell latern, and a few other mid to low tier random lights.

2 Thanks

It’s a pleasure to know you, Celest!

Welcome (back) aboard.
I’m fairly recently back myself.
I used to be active here way back in the day, but got out of the modding side of the hobby over 10 years ago.
It feels like (almost) everything is brand new to me again.
