What flashlight do you have on the way?

I noticed in one of the latest issues of Consumer Reports, The Cannons are rating very high. I was a Fuji man before. I recently picked up a Cannon A 2000. Like $180.00 at wally world. My wife takes a crap load of pics.

Haven't looked at the A2000 yet......might have to check that one out as well. There is just so many different digi-cams out there it's hard to choose.

My EagleTac P100C2 came in today. What a excellent light!

This is my first EagleTac torch, and it won't be my last. And it's also my first light with CREE's XP-E emitter. I was surprised by how small the emitter is, and yet it's output is equal to that of my comparable XR-E equipped lights. Fit and finish is excellent, and activation of the secondary mode via turning the head is much smoother and easier than other lights I own that have the same feature.......I can do it easily with just one hand on this EagleTac.

I ain't going too long here about it as I intend to put up a full review of this light as soon as I can get my camera problems rectified, but suffice it to say I am impressed with this light and will be getting more from EagleTac.

Very glad to hear it mate! Thats three of us who have been very impressive with Eagletacs in the past few weeks...

I might just go an order myself some more...

Yeah, it's a real nice light considering it's inexpensive cost......superb actually. With the addition of the tailstand capable tailcap it's all the more better, at least to my liking.

Before I bought one I was contemplating between this one and the T100C2, figured I'd go the less expensive route and try one out first. I am on PTS's website right now looking at the T100C2 and wondering if I should get it now or wait (I'm eyeing several auctions on Ebay currently so I might hold off for a bit, at least until next payday).

But a T100C2 is definitely in my future.

Damn, just noticed PTS has put up the new T100C2 Mk II and the new T20C2......definitely going to wait as I want both. Pre-Order is going and looks like both ship August 3rd. SWEET!!!!

Ok, managed a few pics before my camera's battery died on me.....here's a quick one of the P100C2 with it's tailstand tailcap:

A Fenix E01 in Gold. Best part, it was only $13.66 shipped. It is my first real flashlight.

It's a good place to start. Be warned though, you are standing at the top of a very slippery slope be careful where your next step takes you.

AMEN on that one. I just recieved my mini R2 Extreme Friday. Very nice. I got the turbo head to go with it also. Good in both set-ups.

I started with an LED maglite.

Now I have over 30 flashlights.

Slippery slope is an understatement

Yup, a very slippery slope. I had used incan Maglites for years.....wanted to try a nice LED and got one of the earlier Huntlights with a Lux III a few years back. I am over 60 lights in the collection now! And no sign of stopping any time soon.

I'll be the voice of reason here... for a change

Whilst I probably have more lights than your average Joe I still only buy ones to use and have no desire to collect them, so you might be safe

What is this 'reason' you speak of?

Thats an impressive total 2xTap. Any chance of some pics of flashlight goodness?

Fortunately I'm in the same position as Neil. I really only buy torches if I have a specific reason* to do so. most of my lights are upgraded Maglites.

*I can be quite inventive when it comes to reasons though.

I did take some group shots about a month ago for a thread on another forum, I don't have those pics on this computer right now or on Imageshack, but you can see them here......http://www.knifeforums.com/forums/showtopic.php?tid/855076/tp/1/

There is about 10 lights missing from these pics though. So far my stable of lights includes Surefire, Wolf-Eyes, Nitecore, PEU, Maglite, ElektroLumens, Solarforce, Ultrafire, Trustfire, Pelican, PentagonLight, Blackhawk, Deerelight, Huntlight, Dorcy, Rayovac, Fenix, Nuwai, Eagletac, and a few others. And fundage permitting.....soon to be expanding!

Great collection that

Woz · **Reply #108 on:** July 29, 2009, 07:28:52 AM

Dunno. I like lights, love to EDC a good light. I really want to get a new EDC, but to be honest when it comes to spending money knives and tools come first - so there´s nothing left for lights. That´s why I just have 2 great lights (Lumapower M1 Cree and D-Mini Digital Q5), a decent one (Fenix P1, first version) and 2 ok ones (Ultrafire C3 and a small no-name CR123a light).

Does anyone know about Lumapower quality now? When I got my lights they were well recommended, but I heard of some troubles in QC later. How are they now, they have nice EDC lights? Maybe I should go for Fenix or Nitecore instead, but I really like my Lumapowers.

EDIT: I forgot to mention my Fenix E01. It´s on my keychain and I have it with me all the time. Nice, but could be brighter.

After reading about it on here, I've recently got a 2C Tesco LED. Seems really good for the price

For the money you really can't go wrong with them.

Neil · **Reply #111 on:** July 30, 2009, 02:09:01 AM

I'm still after a nice little single AAAA (note the 4xA) light. Have I missed anything since the silly price aunoc (or however you spell it)? Alternatively who wants to buy me a lathe

Wetdog · **Reply #112 on:** July 31, 2009, 09:40:15 PM

Got my first Fenix lights yesterday, LD10 and PD20. I'm very impressed, especially with the PD20. This thing is so small, but it's so bright. I think it will be an ideal EDC light as it's small and light, and the different modes serve just about any need.

Scion · **Reply #113 on:** August 01, 2009, 04:34:43 PM

I have my 5th MagLite Solitaire flashlight in Dark Green on it's way!!!
I couldn't seem to find this color in my local stores.

I will be modding this one as well with a LED

It has its flaws, but its a great light all told. Kicks out loads of light. Its a really good size for its output as well, and I like the UI.

My least favourite part of it is that fact is says "special operations" on the light itself
