No idea, the dude said he was lucky enough to find one in Japan ? Not an antique, I give up. I thought $50 for my head light was out of line, all in your perspective.

Didn't we have a flashlight nut on here a while back? He would know.

Glad you added Nut instead of expert.

I seem to recall the guy said he was a self proclaimed "Lighting Nut".
I will apologize in advance if I am incorrect..............

I am going to say it was Watchmaker and he is a site sponsor, not sure where he has been but gone for a while now !!

Don't know if I would call him a nut but a flashlight fanatic forsure !!

DeKuma · « **Reply #7 on:** June 04, 2008, 08:59:07 AM »

Yep, that was him! Wonder what happened to him? All of his posts are gone too?

Certainly did not mean it in a negative in anyway. He was a wealth of information and had some awesome lights!!

addicted · « **Reply #8 on:** June 04, 2008, 09:53:29 AM »

yeah he had a very informative thread going on. it was a few pages long and nothing but his own flashlight knowledge.

Skyvalhunter · « **Reply #9 on:** June 04, 2008, 10:07:15 AM »

I said "nut" in a facetious way. He had alot of info and did lots of testing from what I recall.

addicted · « **Reply #10 on:** June 04, 2008, 10:10:05 AM »

yeah he had that mount set up in his yard at 50 ft so he could show the difference in brightness between lights. the light i first posted better shoot it and skin it for that price.

Skyvalhunter · « **Reply #11 on:** June 04, 2008, 10:12:20 AM »

I will second that!!

rainshadow1 · « **Reply #12 on:** June 04, 2008, 10:15:02 AM »

I'm an outdoor NUT! .... and I'm ok with that!

id be an outdoor nut too. get as far away from the concrete and bumping stereos as possible.

cackle · « **Reply #15 on:** June 04, 2008, 11:40:08 AM »

the price must be for collector value

smdave · « **Reply #16 on:** June 04, 2008, 01:59:22 PM »

I guess the guy could not sell it when he priced it at $8000.00
Did anyone notice the item location is here in washington.

boneaddict · « **Reply #18 on:** June 05, 2008, 10:57:10 AM »

Is this one of our members. We had a flashlight guy on here at one time.

whitey · « **Reply #19 on:** June 05, 2008, 11:58:48 AM »

Hey Bone, they said the guy was like the "The Man" when it came to flashlights,they put a link on this thread to on of his past experiments.(Pretty cool).My question is A fella would have to be stoned out of his mind to pay 8000.00 for a flashlight. I cant figure who would
