Been lurking for past six months and finally joined. I been always looking for new flashlights and wanting to try and mod. I have mostly surefires but want to branch to budget lights.
I like smaller lights to pocket or put in my bags. I usually keep a flashlight in each bag i own, all over the house and all the cars. So useful for my needs.
Hope to learn more and fall into another rabbit hole like my other hobbies.
Have a pleasant time at this friendly forum, Mrdrewbear!

Yea my vape buddies told me that’s there go to spot…I actually work 15min away from the storefront so I will drop by soon
Welcome… I used to be into Shurefire, Magchargers both halogen and LED, Stinger all of the lights that cost way too much. One day I got an Ultrafire that turned out to be a clone and decided I will just do it myself. And with the help of these guys I am actually getting pretty good at it. Depending on who you ask lol
