You know, when I first came here, I remember I saw a lot more threads about "Budget lights" and not near as many about "High dollar lights".
Then, the other day, I looked "wayback", (forgive me Mr. Peabody) and looked at some of the first posts. Talk about "Budget",... man, those lights were cheapo!
Well, I think that was the whole point, because the "Snobs" at CPF (Yes, they would have been considered snobs back then), would not allow for "budget lights" to disgrace their website, so this forum was started. SB, correct me if I am way off here.
So... what the heck is the point? The forum has evolved rather quickly into a nicer form of CPF and a couple of other forums, but BLF is basically a memory and Then!... Then, I realized that I helped to kill off the old BLF! Me and a bunch of us here did, with crazy mods and expensive mods and more expensive mods and then the dreaded group buys, etc.! I am NOT saying that was wrong, but it did happen. I was surprised when I finally came to that conclusion, but anyhow, I thought I would start a thread to possibly help bring back some of the "old BLF spirit" by talking about anything flashlight that was under $20 USD, which is of course, probably still too high, but I gotta start somewhere.
What I would like to see, is to have some more budget lights get reviewed and possibly some real budget group buys, like the one for the BLF 348. Am I crazy? Well, ok, I am, but is the idea crazy? Anyone want to chime in? and do some budget light reviews. Here's a small list of some good to very good, to possibly notorious, budget lights.
