I like to play with my lights because it's winter, grey and cold outdoors. And dark. But when spring's there in ~1 month, birds aloud, i put all my flashlight stuff, Eneloops and multimeter in a footlocker, and will go outside, dancing in my garden.
Here is an usage for flashlights in that regard... go to your local club and pull that line: "Hey beauty, would you like to see my flashlight collection?" ... stamps are overrated BTW.
in the past people enjoyed collecting stamps. nowadays there are new, more modern things with practical value to collect which didnt exist at that time:
Chidwack's input is valuable also because he owns/knows so many high quality torches (Shiningbeam, Olight, Jetbeam, iTP, Quark, Zebralight, Xeno, Fenix). Comparative reviews of similar torches are the best. Chidwack has provided some thoughtful contributions in this regard.
No no. At that place, they answer very well if you have a few Fenix lights, some Zebras, 47s, at least one SureFire, some other premium brands like Nitecore, Jetbeam, Olight, use Maglite's and give your good feelings about Maglite's, buy from their sponsors, praise their sponsors, use CPF codesinstead of BLF discounts :) etc
Oh mate! i'm still have a hard time. I have kept a quiet about it because it was doing my head in, but here goes:
I finally got a response from summer, I had been told to cancel my Klarus order as they were never going to stock them again, so I canceled. They gave me a gift token and I asked if the BC40 was in stock, summer said they were coming in that week. So I ordered one that was 2 weeks ago. Now just today I have exchanged PM's with summer and she is going to send my the klarus at the price I paid and give me a discount on the BC40 so it too will be the same price I originally paid. But I will wait and see!
