Introduce Yourself

I’ve been a flashaholic since 2005 ,this is my second forum for flashlights , I just got back into them ,I had throat cancer and a heart attack over a year ago and still recovering but doing much better now , I used to mood fl but it seems much has changed ,lol as usual. So I’m back learning again ,my first light back was the unique fire uf2100 with a XML enjoyed and wow very cool and makes my malkoff p7 look weak lol just ordered a z1 ,triple beam tech 26650 model from tmart and tank703 wow I’m like a kid in a candy store again
Thanks for having me and can’t wait to post up findings of lights I buy

Welcome!

When bad things happen, any day you wake up seems to be a good day. Changes one's perspective on life.

Glad to see you back in the thick of things! Last time I left flashlights, the P7 was all the rage, now no one wants them, but the D bin was the only emitter I ever found that would take 4 NiMHs direct and never turn blue. Came back and had never heard of an XM-L, but tried one right away.

Haha I still own and use the p7 spear clone , do u remember that one? Hmmm ,its 2 mode ,hmm I’m wondering would a XML make it brighter ,and could I just swap that put only?

I have two very trusty P7s. One is in an honest 700 lumen bar mount bike light that uses 4x18650 battery pack. I get 3.5 hours run time on high and it's built like a tank. Other is a C8 style flashlight. Not as bright as an XM-L but it gets the job done. I expect I will be using both for years to come.

@Madi05: I used to live in Charlotte and a little burgh called Mt. Gilead. My brother is in Raleigh. Hope I can retire in the Carolinas someday....
