Welcome to BLF mikelight! Cornwall is a great place for checking and using flashlights (not so much where I live )
Haha! yeah P10pablo
I got hooked a while back with the 3-cell maglite, with my first drop-in led upgrade kit. It amazed me how bright it was, and with the maglite’s deep reflector, it wowed! a lot of people when I went camping. I thought nothing could be brighter.
Then I got a Terralux (130 lumen I think) flashlight, of which I bought three, thinking nothing is gonna beat these.
It carried on from there
Thanks djozz

A love of flashlights is very interesting. It definitely feels like some of us are big into them, while others (most) could care less. It is kinda like the phone, where I do use my flashlight and camera, but they’re always a compromise to the far superior daily carry camera I have, and the torch I carry with me.
Back to flashlights though, i’ve always loved flashlights and i’ve always been drawn to buying them. As a kid, a flashlight was always in my hand after dark, I was either reading under the blanket, or chasing creatures in the night.
Lastly, what is the light in the lower hand corner?
Thanks!
Welcome!
I’ll give you the same advice I have given new people for years, make a light budget and keep to it!!
This site will have you sitting by the mailbox every day!!
Haha, guess you can try…
Me too, always had a fascination for light. sound. and radio.
I collected flashlights/torches when I was 9 years old (56 now) all incandescent lights back in the late 60’s/early 70’s. My friends and I used to love going out on misty nights with them.
The flashlight lower left is a Klarus MI7
Lower right one (pictures below) was thrown at me from a passing vehicle, hitting my bag I was carrying, so I ended up with a free usb rechargeable light
Can’t complain about that! Not sure what make it is.
Haha! yeah,
That picture I put up with a bunch of lights doesn’t include all of them, just the ones I could get away with putting in one place before my wife complains to me.
I have strategic areas around the house, so she doesn’t realise how big my collection is
