And your usual assortment of keychain/button lights. There are also a few 2xDD flashlights from before the “Maglite Era” floating around in the barn/attic/basement. I don’t consider them part of the collection, although, now that I think about it, perhaps I should reconsider that.
Did I just read that right, 120+ lights as of this editing. I know a lot of you folks have way more than this, but when I look at the totality of my modest collection, I just have to laugh at the ridiculousness of it. What’s wrong with us? Four or five should be plenty. One would suffice. Oddly, I probably have nearly 3 times that amount in knives and I think that is quite reasonable.
Burn the witch! Burn the Witch!
To be fair, none of the Maglites have seen any use since the first Surefire showed up ten or so years ago. Ironically, the Surefires don’t see much use since that Fenix showed up. The Fenix, of course, has been pushed aside by the L2 which is now what I usually EDC 80% of the time. If not, I go with the L2m.
[edit] I have used, almost exclusively, the Manker BLF A6 as my EDC since the day they were first released
I think all of the Maglites are true veterans as I’ve had most all of them since the mid ’80s. The Romisens all came from Shiningbeam so the are slightly modified by Brian. The lights, in their respective categories, are in the order in which they were purchased, best I can recall.
The collection, as listed, is also a bit of a mirage because some are in use by my wife and kids and some others are set aside for my kids as they mature some and can handle the extra power without blowing their retina out.
And now some photos!
[edit] Because I no longer use Photobucket, the photos have been removed.
