Expensive light(s) you purchased?

In another life, I used to be on another forum where I got completely hooked to HDS. Amazing lights. Between 2006 and 2015, I bought 11 of those. I sold some but still have a couple (Rotary, Twisty, Clicky and some older EDC).

Thank god I found this forum.

So far mine is the Emisar D4Sv2… which isn’t particularly expensive and I am new at this hobby :slight_smile:

Pair of Quark 2AA-Xes, 78bux each when discontinued. My first “real” lights…

Such a horribly green beam that I don’t even use ’em in rotation anymore, so they’re just languishing. You could go hawg-hunting with such a green beam. Yecch.

Eh, what did I know?

Emisar D18 @$99. Anything crosses $100 mark would potentially becoming a shelf queen....

MF04S then installed anduril onto it. Love it and use it whenever I can.

Most expensive so far is the copper astrolux c8 at $50. When the noctigon k1 releases it will be more and I’ll probably get that, then it’ll be my highest.

most expensive the olight x9r for 600$ or so…

So, the D18 is a user, right? 1 buck shy of being a shelf queen. So sad.

SPY 005 ti version it gets carried alot.

Imalent DX80 $220
Astrolux MF04 $159
Wuben A21 Apollo $99
ROT66 I.Gen. $103
Lumintop SD75 $95
Haikelite MT09R $83

And a few others :person_facepalming:

$99 (£80) for an L16. SOLD it at £54 recently. It’s nice but was not worth it to me personally. Also bought an MF01 and MF01S for about $79 each. Not expensive for what they are though. Oh yh also an NI40 SBT90 for $78 with the battery.

Imalent MS18 $665 from amazon

Acebeam X80-GT $329.00

Emisar D4SV2 $84.00 with options

Fireflies 07 x2 $74 each.

Few Magnalites $30 or so a piece

150 Dollars for HID torch with Extra battery and it ” SUCKS!!!“:https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Torch-Professional-Hid-with-Bulb-Xenon-Xenon-35w/162578871598?hash=item25da74b52e:g:Q0UAAMXQXTZRe4Gq

Also bought the 35w version + extra battery and it sucks even more

Imagine having to find a replacement 44245 cell :smiley:

Did you buy this when you had know idea what you was doing and probably thought a maglite was super bright? or just thought u know what…lemme take a stupid risk.

I bought it quite a few years ago when the most powerful led torches were still well under 1000 lumens, thinking back it was around the same time the Fenix Pd30 came out (which i paid 50 bucks for) 2012 ish i think

I got the pair the 85w & 35w spare pack for each and it was quite a lot of money… by todays standards they are a joke!

44245? is that what’s in them?

Maybe you forgot to “Torch Lithium Battery using Warning Instruction”. That’s why it wasn’t so bright.

LOL you have to love Ching’glish

Olight x9r

Hands shaking I need a meeting

I have a few Reylights inbound. Most I’ve paid for flashlights. I use to have a hard $50 dollar limit. Apparently I threw that out the window. I just don’t buy as many lights as I use to so, spending the extra money for fancy lights isn’t really costing any more. I don’t buy just any light that comes along now. All my lights are exactly the way I wan’t them now. I have no need to buy stock lights just so I can work on them. So, it takes a special light to open my wallet.

Have no clue. I just looked at the dimensions of the cell 44 x 245mm.
