Bushnell from Wal-Mart. I went out on a whim and bought the brightest light I could that I thought I could edc. I Paid $45 for it and now I look back and want to smack myself. Should have bought a D1

Led Lenser T7 TI, Led Lenser P7, Q-beam(One million Candlepower, can run off your cars cigarette lighter-Still available, WAIT! Get a second Q-Beam FREE, just pay separate S& H fee of $19.99), Fluorescent Snake light, Eveready two AA light...
Wow, I owned 5 lights before I found CPF and became a "True" Flashaholic. For the youngsters here: cars used to have a round, push to use cigarette lighter in every car. Now there are USB ports and "ancillary power supplies", in case you wondered why on earth anyone would build a car with a cigarette lighter...

Fenix PD-20 then a PD-22 when I lost the PD-20.

Never felt the need to own more than a couple lights until I joined this place... Now I have a couple dozen or so.

AA incan mini mag replaced a 5 LED Barney Beam (purple... get it?) Yup, the incan was brighter.
Then a Coast HP7 and Energizer 2aa Hardcase.

Man, I thought the only thing man made any brighter was those spotlights on helicopters. Little did I know that Vihn character was doing those with light you can fit in a jacket pocket.

There were a couple 2d and 2aa Inc and around. A mag solitaire also in can. Then I realized I needed some light with me sometimes and the solitaire didn't cut it. Got a microstream and not long after a fenix e11. Might have been the other way around. Anyway, found this place somewhere after that. When I look back I was Probly good with just that. But as it goes with this place, I went off the deep end a bit. Oh well. Good times. Well lit good times.
