Hello, my name is Scott and I have a flashlight addiction….
It started in the late 1990’s when I used a 3 D-cell maglight for the first time. I graduated from that to a couple incandescent rechargeable lights, and then my first serious flashlight, a surefire G2 in the early 2000’s. I also went through a Streamlight Scorpion and a few others around that time. I have no idea what happened to them all but I still have that little G2.
That wasn’t enough though…I wanted THROW, and I found it in a Streamlight Ultrastinger around 2005. That light is still in use today. It’s mounted on my office wall charging as I type. But I’ve graduated to LED lights now. I have a number of high lumen weapon lights (inforce, Streamlight etc). Recently I’ve been “upgrading” my EDC lights. Picked up a little Olight M18 Striker and a Fenix PD35 tac. LOOOVE the little Fenix! And yesterday I took delivery of my newest toy, an Olight SR52UT. Wow! I may never touch that Ultrasringer again!
Welcome Scott
At least you’re on the dry side of the state
It gets pretty dark and wet here on the coast - more need for light - less time outside to use them.
Welcome from another PNW guy. Time for a second job or at least a second/secret bank account if you are married. I started with a few nice commercial lights, then a few more hot rods developed here. Now I have a soldering iron on order, a few LEDs, and a few other components incoming to try and duplicate some of the amazing things discussed/shared here.
Thanks for the warm welcome! Seems like the common theme is “watch your wallet” hahaha. Thankfully “flashlighting” seems like a slightly more econimical hobby than some of my others (guns and photography)!
