I haven't been around much in the past few years but I still like my lighthouse collection...unfortunately, when I find a light I like and get the bug to maybe want to purchase, I can no longer find any new releases at what few dealers are left around here in the SF Bay Area...what few dealers are left can't move the inventory they have so they are not ordering the newer pieces...Paul's close-ups are very nice but I want to SEE and TOUCH the light I'm interested in...if I can't, I become easily discouraged and lose the interest to buy...takes the fun out of the thrill of the hunt...and then there are those ridiculously high prices...on the positive side, I like the smaller footprint sizes...just my two cents for the day...
