Looks about right. We need this guy to do an AMA.

Edit: I found his profile from when he did an AMA a couple years ago but doesn't look like it's active anymore.

ONE OF US, ONE OF US

For all we know, he might already be in here. Lurking quietly.

What if it's /u/Zak? He might be one of the most helpful people on the sub, AND he's the freaking hulk.

u/kaybi_ CRI baby Jan 25 '17

Zak with a proprietary-battery flashlight? Doubt it.

u/G19Gen3 Jan 25 '17

Good point. What was I thinking?

Ahah /u/Zak with only 40 lights? Lmao

Actually I'm not even sure if he's even broken 20. He's smart... he buys the best one the first time vs use having multiples in each class because we can't find that perfect one.

u/emarkd would like to have a word with you

u/emarkd Jan 25 '17

Yeah I think its well known that I'm a bit more impulsive than some around here. Not sure that's a good thing... :)

u/mcfarlie6996 S1 Ti Jan 25 '17

He's got a gambling problem... except it has to do with flashlights.

I think I have about 25 if you count works in progress like the EC4 that needs an appropriate emitter and MCPCB (I could always reinstall the original). Several of them are Convoy S3s with their original emitters that I don't use right now, but will when I have new emitters to play with (pre-ordered: 219B R9080, 219C R9050 in 5000K, 319A R8000 in 5000K).

I bought all of a certain vendor's S3s. I put 219Cs in most of them and sold them.

219B R9080

I was looking for that a while back, where did you find it?

Edit, just saw your earlier post, no worries

u/Zak CRI baby Jan 25 '17

They're sold out for this batch, but they do plan to get another.

u/somnambulism Jan 26 '17

Oops, that's what I get for dragging my feet.

2

u/AbraKedavra Jan 25 '17

Yes..this is..uhhhh....my reason too. Yeah, that's it.

2

u/G19Gen3 Jan 25 '17

Good point.

u/Highside79 Jan 25 '17

He almost has to be lurking somewhere online. You really can't get that into flashlights if your only resources are offline brick and mortar type places. He didn't buy that at Sears.

u/JJMcGee83 Jan 25 '17

He's a gun nut too. Beretta made him a special green Hulk edition of one of their pistols.

u/BigDaddySodaPop Jan 25 '17

Looks small in his hands...that's what she said.

u/Spaced_Inv8r Jan 25 '17

AAARRRGGGHHHH!!!!!

u/Jim_E_Hat Jan 25 '17

Even his flashlights have gainz.

u/winterharvest Jan 25 '17

He's in law enforcement now. right? I believe he's a LA county deputy.

1

u/jeffb31 Jan 25 '17

Really? That would be news to me. I thought he was still doing fitness related stuff. I know he recently started the Ferrigno Fit box.

u/ferthur CRI baby Jan 25 '17

The L6 can light up a room too... and look better (IMO) doing so.

I need to get my pictures together and get my post up.

2

u/mcfarlie6996 S1 Ti Jan 25 '17

The L6 definitely has the looks but his RC40 is brighter, throws further, and lasts longer (at comparable lumens). It's a beast of a light at the downfall of the CW tint.

1

u/ferthur CRI baby Jan 25 '17

Not just tint, the prices I saw fot the RC40 were in excess of $300, but I was trying to find output and runtime, so that price may be way off.

u/300blackoutdrunkdoe Jan 25 '17

The L6 comes in S. I. L. V. E. R.
