    X65vn100 100,000 Lumen Light

    Re: X65vn2870 100,000 Lumen Light Once this light is ready for sale, I need to convince my wife that I...err...she needs a 100 kilolumen light. Suggestions on what to say to her are welcome! :D

    Which light on airline?

    Flew from Toronto to Trinidad and Tobago last week. Had 3 lights -- SkyLumen2 (1x18650), Nitecore EC4S (2x18650), and TN36UTvn (4x18650) -- in my carry-on, and no issues going through security at Toronto's Pearson airport. Also flew from Trinidad over to Tobago for a sidetrip, and back again...

    What did you use your flashlight for today?

    Ok so the other day, I made fish jump with my light: :D https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pqJbkPfD3lo&feature=youtu.be

    The Lounge 2016

    Re: The Lounge Currently on vacation in Trinidad and Tobago. I never thought a flashlight could do this, but I guess if it's a Vinh light, then anything can happen: :D https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pqJbkPfD3lo&feature=youtu.be

    Which light on airline?

    Guess I was lucky that security didn't confiscate my pop-can sized TN36UTvn (uses 4 x 18650) in my check-in luggage on a trip from Toronto to the Bahamas back in March. From now on, it looks like I'll just carry all my lights in carry-on luggage.

    What jobs do people do that they need to EDC flashlights?

    Co-owner (with my wife) of 4 retail stores. Not a typical environment for flashlights, but we do use it at times to look underneath or behind shelves, freezers, etc.

    Anyone in Trinidad and Tobago?

    I'm gonna be in the Freeport area in late June and early July, but also touring around Trinidad as well, including Tobago probably. If there are any CPFers around, let me know; would be great to meet up. thx.

    The Lounge 2016

    Re: The Lounge Just fyi, we had our first CPF Toronto meet. It was a small gathering; just 2 CPFers + 1 non-CPFer. (more pix at: http://www.candlepowerforums.com/vb/showthread.php?390647-Toronto-flashaholic-get-together) Of course, I brought along my TN36UTvn and SkyLumen2 and both found...

    Would be great to see you guys next time; the more the merrier. We're planning to meet again in September, but if any of you happen to be in town, we could perhaps do an impromptu meet somewhere. Funny things I noticed during this meet: - We weren't able to get a table, so we sat at the bar...

    Matrix's lights are all the nice shiny chrome ones, i.e., McGizmo's, Dark Sucks, Cool Fall, Tri-V, and the black Armytek with white button (3rd from the right). The rest are mine, except for the Thrunite TN12 (2012) at the far right that I gave to my friend: One of Matrix's McGizmo's...

    My friend and I had a great meet with Matrix100 and seeing his lights collection tonight. Interesting to see how Matrix is more into the tactile and appearance of the lights themselves, whereas myself I'm more into the lumens, flood performance, and compactness of lights. Will try to upload...

    Wow, I wasn't even aware $4k lights existed! Puts the cost of my ~$600 set of 3 main lights to shame. Definitely looking forward to seeing your lights as well. By the way, anyone else who wishes to come to the meet, please do...and of course bring your lights. :)

    For downtown, I was thinking Ramsden Park as well. But how comfortable would the residents or passersby be with seeing flashlights go on and off? I live a block east of Queen's Park and figured that's a decent-sized park too, but not sure if we'd have to deal with nearby OPP and UofT campus...

    Hmm, it's been pretty quiet here. Now that the weather is nice, anyone interested in just hanging out one evening and chillin' downtown at Fran's diner (I live near their location across from College subway station) or some other decent place downtown? Ideally, it'd be great to find a place...
