The BIG flashlight collection thread - List your flashlight collection here!

Y’all are gonna make me pull everything off the shelf and dust it off, make a list. And then I’ll have to charge cells for 2 days…!

Somewhat over 200 these days. One out for delivery as we speak. :smiley: (had to run around counting, 209 best as I can tell)

Tonight we will have a flashlight meet in Hungary. Hopefully M4DM4X also will come to us.
This is what I will bring there.

So has anyone ever taken all the collected flashlights out some dark night, turned them all on, and taken a picture?

My current collection is getting bigger.

I put some more photos and measurements in my thread:

My collection (130 lights), as of November 2019. ,This first photo is my modern LED lights collection (excluding Maglite, Convoy, and Olight i3E), which are shown in separate pictures below. Direct download link (for zooming in) to high resolution photo HERE.

My Maglite collection. The aqua blue one (with silver bezel and end cap) is a rare Vari-Beam. The long one on the bottom is a 10 D-cell Maglite (originally 6D), created with two extension tubes from Adventure Sports Flashlights. Also, as I did with the Convoy S2+, some have had parts swapped for unique color combinations. Direct download link (for zooming in) to high resolution photo HERE.

My Convoy collection, mostly S2+ of various colors. Parts were swapped for unique color combinations. The one on the far left (with white/yellow stickers) is a calibration light from BLF member maukka. Direct download link (for zooming in) to high resolution photo HERE. The three in the back row are are the S21A, C8+, S11.

Olight i3E collection, including two of the special-edition tan ones (given away during an Olight 2019 promotion). Direct link (for zooming in) to high resolution photo HERE.

Vintage lights. All but two were new-in-box. Direct download link (for zooming in) to high resolution photo HERE.

My most expensive coke-can light, Acebeam X80.

Miscellaneous; increasingly rare Maglite 6C:

Additions; vintage Ray-O-Vac ML22, with unusual toggle switch.

Mint condition 7C Maglite (next to my 6C Maglite).

You people are amazing.

I have got not much of a collection going.

These are the lamps I actually use.

Dereelight dbs v3 (my throw light for walking the dog at night)

My EDC Rotation:
Olight S1R II
Olight S1 mini HCRI
Lumintop Tool AAA copper

Lumintop Tool AAA (backup)

Led Lenser P3 (I use this one when I’m looking for something in the house, the narrow beam helps me focus)

And that noname AAA is usually strapped to my bicycle as a makeshift headlight.

I have others scattered around the house and car, but mostly these are cheap AA / AAA I did not like enough to find a decent use for.

The consequences of one year BLF :smiley:

Left to right:
C8 XPL HI WW FET
M1 XPL HD NW FET
Astrolux S43 Nichia
S2 LG UV
S2+ Nichia 219c 1.4A
Jaxman E2
Fenix E12
Astrolux A01 Copper
Sofirn C01 Yuji 3000K

Perhaps I should be done… :innocent:

I thought something was wrong with me till I found BLF :heart_eyes:

My current collection is almost finished. We know how it is with our addictions, i.e. it will probably never be finished :person_facepalming:

I have a Convoy T2.
How do you mean 1 is not a collection?
Sure it is, it’s just a small collection! :smiley:

And keeping the collection small in my opinion is better.

For your next light, I think you should step up to a Convoy S2+ SST-20. You will positively love it.

So my wife was not here yesterday…
Group photo guys !

Unfortunately, about 20 lights are missing because they are actually used and in various places :-p

X3, is that some vintage audio equipment in the background?

Looks like a Yamaha RX-V861/863 av receiver.

ahh yes, but who could man a full chess board :sunglasses:

Now I’m impressed !
Yeah, it’s my AV amp in the background
