Really the HID lights don't do much for me - I like stuff I can actually carry. Plus, you can get better lumens and longer out of a $30 hardware store suitcase handled HID than many high end shower head style HIDs. I just don't see the appeal like I do with LED lights that are at least reasonable to carry.

I just don't see the appeal like I do with LED lights that are at least reasonable to carry. I hear you, but I'm not being practical here. I have looked everywhere for something in the 3500 lumen area, and came up blank. Any real way to compare candle power to lumens? All those "power-on-board" hardware store guys go by CP, not lumens. I would be more than happy with one of those!!! Then I can buy more LED stuff!! I just want something absurdly bright for around the yard.
Enjoy every sandwich.

Whats up bro's. Looks like the topic of the night is lights. Light is good, light is my friend!

Sup Sumo?
Looks like it's slow round here tonight!
Not big into lights... May do a few more but the few surefire I have are doing the trick. I may upgrade later on. I guess my next thing with lights is to get a couple AA lights and Eneloop rechargeable batteries to go with them. I had this insane amount of batteries left over from my portable cd player and gadget period that I really don't want to repeat. Hope Eneloop will be he answer.

Hey there. I go the G2 with aluminum head and a Cree 5 lamp. I am picking up another G2 from a buddy. My problem with lights is that the technology changes so fast that I can not stay up with it.

Any word on the ganza deal? I am reading through all the posts but getting worn out on some of them.

I have completly missed all of that. I'm trying to stay focused but I want so many different items a impulse buy is just around the corner.

It is a free give-a-way ganza. I have no luck, so even if I try I would bet against myself LOL.
