Welcome to the club. Looking at your collection, you’ll fit right in.

Thanks electricjelly :slight_smile:

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 :slight_smile:
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 :wink:

Hi mikelight, welcome to BLF.

Ditto. Being rather OCD they are all in one spreadsheet, but the total number is never spoken out loud. :person_facepalming:

Edit: I guess we’re both past the advice of living on a budget. On a certain moment I looked at the total, added up the ones that were in the mail, and rounded that off on the next decade. And from there on I stick to that number. I even may buy new lights, but one in is one out.

Welcome to BLF! :+1:

If you’re already a confirmed flashaolic, it will only get worst! Did you consider secretly renting a small flat to store your lights and go play with them at night pretending to have a lot of work?

Haha! a good idea patmurris :wink:

Welcome to the forum.

Thanks nightlyfe27

Welcome aboard Mike!

Welcome to BLF mikelight! My wife has accepted my flashlight craziness over the years, but I’ve accepted her stuff too. Luckily neither one of us goes too overboard with our interests. I’m not aware of any benefits I’ve received from her stuff, but my wife loves the Zebralight SC62w that I gave her.
