maybe it’s not the light that has me hooked. maybe it’s the anticipation of waiting, of receiving it in the mail? if that’s the case, let’s see if it works:
I have ordered the above. I seem to have the same excitement over receiving this $1.82 item as I would over any other flashlight order. It has a ‘touch switch’ with ramping, and I ordered the warm white. Also have one coming from Fasttech, same style, 120 lumens. I will use these with my 5000 mAh power bank.
So, I have satisfied my hunger temporarily, for some $3. At this rate, maybe I can get thru the rest of my years with what I have spent in the previous 3 or so years
I know what you mean, the value does not matter :-) And because I have exact that same light (I think it is great), here's a glamourshot to feed the anticipation ;-) :
Thanks for the tip my friend— I didn’t even know these existed!
I just ordered 3 2-packs of these similar USB lights from DX since I don’t have a flea-bay account.
I’ll be down-scaling my addiction very soon as well. I’m probably going onto disability and that $300 to $500 a month I’ve been spending all year on my hobbies is about to be more like $3-$5 a month lol. I think I’m going to be sitting in a cabin by lake for a nice long sabbatical. I’ll probably be off the grid for a few months and these little USB lights seem like a perfect backup light source. I think these things will also be perfect for an emergency bag because they weigh nothing and augment what a lot of people like me already have in their packs: USB solar chargers and power packs. I’m too lazy to do the math but wouldn’t a 20,000 mAh power pack give me about 1000 hours of light at 25 lumens? And all six will only add a few grams to the pack either way.
That’s a fun part of it, is checking the mail almost every day in anticipation of what will arrive next from the many various flashlight-related orders you are anxiously waiting for.
