Hi all.
I came across this forum while looking for a light for my mom for Christmas (she went back to school after us kids left the house... needed a light for walking to the car from her night classes). Anyway, I settled on Fenix L0P SE based on views given here.
I gotta say, this thing is bright. I'm fascinated by the small size and brightness... but I think there's also some intangible quality to these lights as well... Anyway, this little light from Fenix hooked me . Suddenly, I find myself on the forums reading about more lights, and looking to buy more lights for other people (family, girlfriend, random strangers on the street, etc.).
What hooked you guys on lights? Why do you like them so much? Why collect lights? Why not collect stamps? Or coins? Or (well, a lot of you guys collect these) knives? Or *insert other item that has fanatical following*?
Second question: What do you guys use your lights for, especially your EDC lights? Do you have a real need for carrying a light around? Or is it that you like to have the light, just in case?
The reason I ask is that I'm trying to justify buying lights for others/myself for Christmas. When my girlfriend opens her light and asks me, "Why did you give this to me?" I'd rather have something to say besides, "Because I developed a recent, passionate love for lights."
Thanks for the help everyone! Have a happy holidays and a merry Christmas! :santa:
