Hello from Washington

[Ben_Cartwright]

Howdy,

Nice forum you all have here, been surfing it the last couple of weeks and there is a wealth of information here.

I don’t think I’m necessarily a flashaholic the way many define it but I’m definitely frugal, or as my wife describes it a ‘tightwad’.

Welcome Ben! Washington state? Been there twice myself years ago. Whereabouts you at?

Ah, you’re already at the first stage - denial! EDIT: See here. Any of this ring a bell?

Thanks for the welcome. We are in the northwest corner of the state.

Yes it does, though I like to think my angle on lights is more toward the practical side than max lumens and modifying/testing lights etc. Of course that too could be denial…

I am currently 24 months CPF free, and my wallet has just recently recovered. Then I found this forum and I’m hoping it will be much easier on my wallet, although I suspect one must guard against making up for it with Volume. Seems like it would be real easy to go off the deep end with quantities of all these budget lights.

Welcome! The budget light side can be as frustrating as it is rewarding.

[RMM]

Welcome! Don't worry, you'll make up for it in volume.

Glad you’re here.
We’ll show you where to spend your Christmas money
