Hi, just signed up. I’d previously not long been a member of CPF, just a couple of months. Saw it had been hacked today and found this place. Then I found out CPF isn’t all that well liked so that explains it. When sites get hacked I give them a wide berth. Anyway, only really been interested in flashlights for less than a year. Me and my wallet like the idea of the budget light forum. Hope to browse around and find some interesting and useful posts.
Welcome to BLF, Barry! :party:
Thanks Chloe.
Welcome! :bigsmile:
Yup. It’s real peaceful here by comparison. I suspect we’re about 80% refugees from “there”. Over here we only get excited when somebody has a good sale on - then you have to be careful not to get trampled in the stampede.
Welcome to BLF!
Hope you enjoy your stay here. ![]()
Like Nostradamus, ChibiM has predicted the ‘Great Migrations’. Welcome!
Welcome to the BLF family, Barry! It's an awesome bunch here and we turn away no lights based on price. We also don't turn on members for liking what they like. Well, maybe we do blast folks who buy into the whole Surefire brainwashing. ;)
Welcome to the BLF , Barry .
You will find lots of knowledgeable and helpful people here who will try to persuade you to spend all of your discretionary income on flashlights .
You have been warned .
Welcome to BLF! You'll love being here! :) (Your wallet might not)
Welcome to the forum Barry Powers. I'm not pro or anti CPF. I joined here because I can't keep up with 2 forums and I liked the overall tone here better when I was lurking.
By the way, if you are like me you missed the BY in BYBLF forum title. It's easy to miss because it's in a super tiny font.

Hello and welcome to the BLF Barry, I’ve not been a member her long myself but I’ve found it to be a friendly place.
It can hit the wallet a bit but my resistance to bright things and sharp things is low. ![]()
The chances of getting through the first week without buying something are small to none, there’s just so many good things. :bigsmile:
Thanks for all your welcomes!
Good that you’ve come over from THE DARK SIDE >)
May the Lumen Force be with you……
That’s awesome and so true. I’m supposed to be saving money by not buying any significant number of new flashlights but somehow managed to spend more than I should have on 5 new lights (and a decent number of batteries) in the last few weeks… 3 being budget and 2 definitely not so much! ![]()
Welcome to the forum Barry, you’ll love it here but as others have already said…… your wallet may not!
Welcome, mate. ![]()
Welcome!
Howdy.
Enjoy your time here at BLF
Thanks for joining the party, Barry Powers!
