Hi Everyone,
This is my first post! I sort of stumbled across this site by accident yesterday, and have spent many hours reading threads in many of the forums. The wealth of knowledge contained here is amazing. You've really got some sharp people around here. I guess I've been a closet flashaholic for years, but never realized that there were so many others out there that shared my illness! My friends think I'm light-headed!
I've been intrigued by LEDs since I bought my first keychain 2016x2 lights on ebay a couple of years ago. I've since had PT Pulsar, Pulsar II, Attitude, Impact, and Impact XL. Liked the Impact the best, oddly it seemed to produce a better quality beam for me than the XL. I've currently got a PT Tec20 into which I have installed a EverLed 1-watt Luxeon. I like it, but the handle is a bit small for me. I read here that the EverLed performs better in a metal body, which helps cool it down. What do you think of the idea of putting it in a mini-Mag? Also, the Tec20 doesn't really focus the beam, and I think M-Mags do, right? Any suggestions?
Also, what is the general opinion of those 3 and 5 watt Luxeon powered, Chinese made flashlights that are all over ebay for $40 and up? Yay or nay? I kinda like to find a pocket light cannon. What about an EliteMax? Any suggestions are appreciated. BTW, is there any forum here that discusses CFLs (compact fluorescents)? I didn't notice any. Thanks!
