thanks poncho, it took me a few weeks to figure out the badge thing although I've been a member here for years I didn't really notice them when forum format changed, going for my badge of stupidity next  :twak:

How are you liking the Klarus? I wasn't to happy with my Thrunite T10t so I'm considering making a new try for a good AA/14500 light and the Mi7 looks promising.

I really like the klarus, very bright with a 14500 Lion, good UI, has instant access to either High or moonlight and has a lockout feature. Only con I can think of is button feels different than other electronic switch buttons im used to, but its not really an issue. was thinking of getting a second one, CPF has a group buy and price is very good

what is the issue with the thrunite?

Nah, it's a great light and I've been carrying it for a while now but it just doesn't add anything compared to the budget light I was replacing it with.

I like both these lights so much I got a green/red tip, and im waitung for a titanium Mi7 from the company whose name is forbidden  :rofl:

Now I have so many lights I think I may need to sell a few of my older ones, its getting a bit out of hand, thankfully my paypal is empty, trying to stop this obsession
