Steve, I thought for sure you would have a Kroma by now. Surely you can just expense it.
Are you bringing anything interesting to the NYC meet?
LOL I know, I am slipping. Of course, if I can demonstrate the effectiveness of the Kroma over the Extreme Super LED, then I can. There's only a difference of about 100 LEDs, right. Besides, I would never do that to Jack Gin; I like him too much.
I think I'll bring the new Immervision 360 degree lens, a MP camera, a couple of SFs (including a special edition from the last Anti-Terrorist Symposium) and a M1 IR unit. I may also bring one of our new super VandalProof cameras too. Of course I didn't tell anybody this, so I'll set up somewhere on a floor, unless someone donates a 2 square foot section!
I can believe it. I read this thread on CandlePower with, admittedly, a smile on my face as a guy tries to figure out how to spend his $200 on a flashlight. You can substitute every reference to flashlight and model number with a headphone model and it reads exactly like this forum.
This line is especially classic: "Sad that I look at your lights and drool......very very nice....thats one... and I'm very Impressed Mr Bulk, eggggzelent light! Love the lumens gauge pic included!"
They actually have Flashlight meets. There's a meet coming up in my city, I think I want to go! Haha. How bored are we?

A looper, you know, a caddy, a looper,..a jock. So I tell 'em I'm a pro jock and who do you think they give me? The Dalai Lama himself. The Twelfth son of the Lama; the flowing robes, the grace, bald... striking. So i'm on the first tee with him, I give him the driver; he hauls off and whacks one - big hitter, the Lama - long...into a ten thousand foot crevasse right at the base of this glacier. Do you know what the Lama says: (pause) 'Gunga Galunga... gunga, gunga-lagunga.' So we finish the 18th and he's gonna stiff me. And I say, 'Hey, Lama, hey. How about a little something, you know, for the effort, you know?' And he says, 'Oh, uh, there won't be any money. But when you die, on your deathbed, you will receive total consciousness.' So i've got THAT going for me. Which is nice."

!!!! Wow that's 150 UK Pounds! Quite the piece in such a small package.
I've also been impressed with the Surefire M6, but don't think I could pull the trigger on a $300 light.
And it's the Cree XR-E version, so it's 20 Pounds more.
Insanely expensive, but that's partially why the U60 XRGT went bye bye. While the beam's tint was much better, the Raw Ti XR-E is brighter, and tiny enough to EDC.
Just like with other gadgets, it's hard to say no with all the cree/seoul lights coming out. I'm not a modder so I'm looking at some of my Luxeon lights and wondering which ones should go to make room for Crees
I picked up a D-Mini to get a feeler of how Cree LED's work, and it makes my old Luxeon lights look a bit out of breath.
It's not like I actually *need* this brightness because my old lights are actually bright enough for my ACTUAL USE. it's all for the sake of having the latest/greatest.
My U60 will remain in my collection and my L4 will too since its beam is unique. But the rest will eventually be displaced by Cree/Seoul lights
I would like to get a battery powered book light, one that would clip on the book and minimize disturbing others in the room. I have never owned one before and therefore I am not sure what to look for in features. Any help you could provide would be appreciated.
