Got Something You Want To Say?

Now I know why people don't use their real names on messageboards. :hehe: I wish that I though of that before using my name for a lot of things. :sweat:

It's a rookie mistake. :patpat:

I only used my middle and last name. I left out "baka" :beaten: [/list:u]

You're not alone :sweat: I could as well publish my phone number :beaten:

Not really a mistake, but lack of creativity on my part. I shoulda used my middle name or something else instead. Too bad I thought of that only this year after having my site/username/etc. for a while now. :doh:

Your middle and last name? It isn't obvious from your username though. Maybe only the middle..

Haha, I feel the same way. And with people always mentioning my home state all the time (myself included), I might as well post my entire address too because not too many people have this stupid name. :sweat:

Considering the number of people who already have your address from trades..... you wouldn't have to :rofl:

Actually, I think it was sold.... To some sucker, er, person for something like $1100...

Really? I just cannot understand why anyone would buy something like that - and especially not for stupid money. :grumble:
I hope the person felt silly when they got their "special" flake. :beaten:

LOL! Awwww you beat me to it.

Really bright flashlight for your emergency car kit, home kit at a really good price. With the LED module, it'll last quite a long time as well.

So i finally put everything together, and im now blind in one eye, because of my morbid curiosity. it's REALLY bright and should last a few days continuous. I'm ordering another set.

It'd say it's about as bright as a 12D Maglight, or maybe a 80w car fog light.

Haha, that's true. Um, ok. Phone number then. :beaten: Although I did give it to someone already... (nope, not saying who!) :notell:

shopping for a nice beginners over/under.

:beatyou: ahh so tired of school sometimes :shakehead:

A little overkill for an emergency kit, don't you think? 100+ lumens is a lot for looking under your hood or through your house at night. Few days continous? Try 1 to 3 hours depending on whether you use the incand or LED. You'll probably be better off with a low power LED light for emergency purposes that will have much longer run times. Save the high intensity lights for when you have to shoot people in the face.

This one is actually for home defense... so i dont have to actually shoot them (messy ya know, and you have to pay someone to clean up the blood, urine, brain matter because it's a bio-hazard)
And car thing... you'd understand if you've had to paw around the ground looking for a rouge lugnut in the gravel with a dimming maglight. :sweat: :sweat: The 123A's should last better than the Ds, which i change every year or so.

I did a test, and it ran full power and put it in the closet. It basically ran for 30 hours, and still lights, albeit about the brightness of a large candle.

Never was a problem for me but it was always somebody else who had to clean up afterwards. :rofl: I only count the max output as the runtime as that's the whole point of a high intensity light for me and I toss the batteries when they start to go. LED's can bleed on longer but what's the point? I see your argument about the car, but at the proximity you'll be working at, the bounce back from a high intensity light could be blinding. I'm just saying that there are probably more suitable lights that are cheaper for your purposes. At least the Surefire G2 which is half the cost of a 6P and lighter due to its polymer construction.

Oh, one warning. Since you are using the 6P for home defense, DO NOT buy into the hype about it blinding someone to where they can't attack. You can still put effective rounds on target with it shining in your eyes full blast.

I dislike polymer torches, except maybe for long range hiking. And the 6P i got is the same price as what the G2's are going for.

The 6P, 9N are just to hopefully buy a few extra seconds in case i need it. If the BG is armed, all bets are off and he'll suffer from high velocity lead poisoning.

I run a G2 on the carbine because it's lighter and just as durable as the 6P. But if you can get the 6P at the same cost that's great. Hopefully Surefire doesn't find out; they're assholes about dealers going under MSRP.
