A couple of years ago, I went searching for a new flashlight. I had a couple of 4sevens and was looking for something just a bit bigger. An Eagletac light attracted me. In my research, I ran across a "vn" suffix.

Well, 50 or so flashlights later, the majority having the suffix "vn", it was unexpected, but what fun I am having!

Through Vinh, I've been introduced to the bright world of flashlights, and to many new people. I never used to sit around, looking out the window, waiting for dark! LOL

I get up at night, in a dark house, and walk around with tiny little V54 engraved flashlights, which have no right to be as bright as they are!

Very nicely put MAD, v54 certainly changes how we look at the dark!

Not sure your side, but here SAD effects many(lack of natural daylight with darker / longer nights rolling in effecting moods), I do believe a doctor should prescribe a v54 light(or 10) to help overcome the shorter days.

Having fun lights definitely helps me stay in a better mood when it's dark out more often!

Awesome catch NL, love the idea of the tk75vn with the sst40's, just a shame there are no 5000k options yet(subjective).
