It's getting ridiculous.. I should stay away from BLF for awhile

Nope, it comes with that, but apparently he's going to try to get more out of it. 3300 lumens per MT-G2 is already quite good. He might get another 1000 lumens total, or may dedome. Not really worth modding imo unless he's selling it for near regular price.

Could be, but I don't think so. I had barely started then.

Then again, there was a point I thought id only buy 5 at a maximum. :D


3x MT-G2s?? That wont do much more than 10000-12000 lumen if driven to its absolute peak.

Ill beat that easily in a normal flashlight with tint on level with 3xMT-G2s, probably better IMO.

Going to beat the crap out of my 9 XM-L tint mixed hot-rod.

Stay tuned. Someone (Oucyfoot?)might beat me to something similar though.

hmm… nice but doesn’t show the price, any idea how much this will cost? :slight_smile:
I’m still waiting for MT-G2 bike light… heck I might just mod them myself, I’m sure I think I could turn one of my bike light into the first MT-G2 :smiley:

Ive been clean for seven days. :D Not even thinking over it.

Seriously, its not an addiction. Its just a hobby I enjoy.

I have bought pretty much everything I desire. Name whatever light, I can say why I think I have something better, or which of my lights I will make into something better. Or just why its not desirable for me.

At the moment I have a few lights Im having an eye on.

Nage 4 XM-L (Terminator clone) / or real Terminator. Never had this design in a light, and I like them. Not a fan of Blackshadow anymore though. But might still consider a Terminator if the price is right.

Ultrafire SH-A4 - I have always wanted to build a 4AA hotrod. AA powered and over 1000 lumen. I think this is one of the better hosts at the moment. Ive been watching it for a long time, but no deals have come. Solarstorm might come with a light I buy instead. Im hoping something nicer will show up.

Solarstorm T3 and T4 - I like SRKs and various lights in that size. These lights looks very promising.

Eagle Eyes X6 - I like the looks, and price is not bad.

Maxtoch M12 - Could become an HD2010 replacement. But I think its overpriced unless there is a great deal on it.

LZZ-01 - Never had anything like it. Interesting mod host. I wont consider buying until there is a great deal or I have a great UI for one.

Im probably not going to buy any of these unless there is a nice deal on them, or Im getting low on lights to mod.

Sometimes new attractive lights go on sale, or sometimes lights I like go on sale, and I buy one just to mod differently compared to last time I did one. Then I keep my favorite and sell the other one.

So… I have eight Cree bulbs in my bathroom, four warm white and four daylight tint, 6400 lumens total. Fortunately, it’s on a dimmer. But when it’s turned up all the way and someone flips on the light, the universal response is to flinch away, cover their eyes, and say something like ā€œowā€.

The X60M(vn) is almost twice that bright, and since it’s focused by reflectors it’s again several times more intense. I think this will probably go on my list of things which are officially too bright for me to own… next to the DEFT-X and Krypton laser.

Someone on that other forum said $300.

I’m not doing so well on not buying new lights lately.

Firstly, RMM’s 16340 EDC was too good to pass up. Especially with a Nichia 219B in it, and for only $22 or so… It’s like a 16340 clicky upgraded version of a L3 L10-219, for less than the L10’s price.

On that note, the brand new L3 L10C-219 was definitely too nice to pass up. The L10-219 is already nearly perfect aside from not having a screw-on clip… and the L10C adds the missing clip! Quite possibly the best EDC on the market, and not a bad price either.

And I was getting impatient for the D25A Ti 219 I ordered back in January, so I got myself a T10T NW. It turns out the T10T is actually quite a bit nicer for my purposes than the D25A, and a surprisingly good buy. I didn’t think I’d like it, but it’s very nice. Oh, and the D25A finally showed up too.

Then there was a good V11R sale for Father’s Day… ended up ordering a Mirage since my dad is still mostly using the SK-68 I gave him. I think he’ll enjoy the upgrade, since it’s one of the nicest EDCs around.

And for modding, I decided to mod a UF-T20 instead of the inferior UF-838 I currently have. So a T20 is on the way… makes a much better aspheric thrower.

… and I’m getting parts to flash attiny firmware, and an e-switch waterproof host to use as part of a special water fountain.

And finally, something really special came along, a lifetime-keeper sort of item… custom-made by a humble genius… and I just couldn’t say no. So, in the near future I should be receiving an Everett custom S10 in polished titanium.

I expect I’ll be posting detailed reviews of most of what I just listed.

So, lots of fail for me. But OTOH, also lots of win. I’m really excited about that last item. :slight_smile:

supposedly in stock and shipping by weeks end at SBFlashlights…

you know… it’s must be a women thing… why would anyone put 6400 lumens in the bathroom is beyond me, of course it must be have something to do with putting make up every morning :bigsmile:

btw… one of these day I’ll get myself motivated to get titanium light… as it is usually very expensive for a so-so output :~

Maybe I should stop buying more light when I receive my Nitecore TM36, but I still will do group buys as I do enjoy helping others at BLF ( especially newbies ) saving some chunks of money on great lights ( why pay more when you don’t have to? :slight_smile: )
Too bad there’s not much group buys when I started this hobby 1 1/2 years ago :_(

No idea why it helps, but nice to see where my batteries and quark came from.

Sweet. I should have money by week’s end, so it’ll work out. I’m also going to expense a new monitor and oftentimes I deposit those expense checks in my special flashlight account without any fuss. Shhh. :slight_smile:

I normally keep it at ~50 lumens or less… but the really bright mode is indeed very nice whenever I need to discern subtle shades of color or work on fine details.

nice way of showing your collection. looks like your room is at a store front .
what are those led bars in the back? are they for aquariums?

Well, I spend most of my time at the warehouse, so it might as well be my room I guess haha. The light bars are for off-road vehicles.

Okay… this light should be my last one for this year ( crossing fingers :bigsmile: )

nice! that one is on my wants list as well. I would already have one, but I need $300 for the x60mvn :slight_smile:

nice, but how is the battery in it? I have heard that the battery is a real pain in the arse.

just don`t take the batteries out.....

I am more talking about life of the battery and how long it takes to charge it.
