    I am, I had to cut my order down a lot due to some financial issues. I want to order quite a few lights next go around.

    I think it is a couple months out. I do have a couple of things that have been suggested that I am looking at. Zoomies with Red or Green emitters has been mentioned. My dad wants a red one for watching sea turtle eggs hatch. Hamish wanted one for walking in and out of hunting camp to keep from blowing his night vision with a white one. I think those are both good ideas so working on tweaking a driver for the colored emitter.

    I'd be ALL OVER some zoomies with UV emitters (awesome for bloodtrailing in archery season) but I sure want more zoomies anyway. I'll keep my eyes open for the next buy...the red and green sound good too.
    An old Cherokee was teaching his grandson about life. "Inside me two wolves fight," he told the boy.
    "One is evil - he is anger, envy, greed, arrogance, self-pity, resentment, lies, false pride, and ego. The other is good - he is joy, love, hope, serenity, humility, kindness, generosity, truth and faith. The same fight is inside you - and every other person, too."
    The grandson thought for a minute and asked,"Which wolf will win?"
    The old Cherokee replied, "The one you feed."

    I'd bet if I can get the green to work I can do the UV, they run a very similar profile electrically speaking.

    I'd more than likely be in for a few zoomies whenever the time comes.

    I noticed a larger ID on some of the recent zoomies. Any reason for this? Perhaps an option for different batteries?

    I know this is a little old, but UV for blood tracking!?!?! I'm pretty heavily color blind and have never had any luck with those green/red trailing lights, does the UV make it more apparent?

    I could be mistaken but, I've always been under the impression that it was the BLUE light that was the one for tracking blood.

    Comments please?

    I had Wil make some Zoomies with the clip reversed so they fit on a ball cap rim as a headlamp. All my friends want more.

    Will you likely have a rechargeable white headlamp suitable for mowing golf course greens before daylight? Yearly seasonal retiree job starts in about six weeks.

    I'm always in for more, every time I get a couple I end up giving them away. Will, don't forget the 9volt battery lights and I'm all for a blood trail light. They may or may not really work but a kid I let hunt on the farm lost a nice one, it might have helped. I'm going to start saving up now.
    Thanks

    I'd be in for some UV ones, we've been fighting a scorpion battle, they light up nicely so they can be killed.
