Hello folks

Hi all.

Greetings from North Wales UK.

I've just joined. ..... Didn't see a hello section, mods please move if I've missed it.

I've been interested in flashlights since a kid but got into it seriously several years ago when I purchased my first decent light, an Olight SR95. Soon to follow was a TN42, then I discovered Vinh which resulted in a Manker M34 filled with XPL PDT's, I love this light, using many of his prised leds and he quickly removed that option from his site! Then a Manker U21 XPG2 PDT a very nicer 26650 thrower, I was lucky to get "fiat lux".

I've been out of it for a while, now back again with gusto.

I sold the SR95 and the TN42 years ago. I've now added to Vinh's lights an Imalent R90C, an Acebeam X80GT, Imalents RT70 and RT35, Astrolux MF02 and MF04.

I'm modifying the RT70/35 which I'll talk about and ask questions in another thread.

I have talked about this on another forum but not got one bite so I've moved! :)

I hope to learn from you all and share my attempts at modifying and eventually a build when I gain knowledge.

Cheers! .... styks

I've been directed to this site on many occasions searching for flashlight reviews.

As you say, many very knowledge people here, it will be a pleasure to delve into such a pool of knowledge.

Should've joined ages ago!

Thanks for the warm welcome.

Hello styks, welcome to BLF.

Be prepared for the chilling effects of budget lights.
Moneywise you may think: nah, what’s a raindrop here and a raindrop there.
Let me tell you. That’s almost a swimming pool a year
It drains your wallet.

Hey styks! Welcome to BLF! We do actually have a forum section called Introduce Yourself. It’s listed under the Miscellaneous category. I don’t know that it’s too big of a deal that you posted here. Mr. Admin can move the thread if he wants to. But I think he’s just as likely not to do so in cases like this.

raccoon · 2019-01-15T00:39:31.000Z

styks, you can move your own thread.

Here's instructions how:
