Are you a flashlight collector

Are you a flashlight collector? how many flashlight do you collect? What are they?

You first! How many flashlight do you collect?

What are they?

Ok, I love cool collections just as everyone else.. but why do you guys always post pictures with such a bad resolution? 10mp or so would be way better to actually see something.

Other than that, nice collection. I like the 10 green pixels in the middle. :P

I’m not really a collector.
I try to rationalise all my purchases and if I can’t I just don’t buy it. If you don’t give in to temptation then your paypal balance won’t suffer. Unless of course you’re easily influenced :o
I try to only buy flashlights for practical reasons, but I admit I bought my HID just to ogle at the beam and insane brightness. But it makes me hate my LED torches now.

You might call it “collecting”.

He bought those off of ebay they are all vintage lights.

I don’t think he bought anything. I think this is a spam thread. He did get the picture from ebay. I remember when the seller posted here.

I seem to remember him posting on CPF previously. He bought the lot of them for something like a dollar a piece and is reselling them on ebay.

I'm a dust collector and need flashlights to catch it.

They chose me

LOL! I like the way you think. :wink:

Im not collector type of person :slight_smile:
I savour them for a while and after that its not important whats happen to them (I can sell them, give them etc).
Its the same with all things :o

A lot of those are old and maybe 20 lumens at tops.

I collect flashlights to use. I have a couple of ‘vintage’ ones, and they actually work, but I get no thrill out of using them or watching them collect dust on the shelf.

I buy stuff that makes me go “wow” when I turn it on in the dark.

Yeah, a few of us around here do an awful lot of "rationalizing."

I am not a collector. I do have more lights than I need and it may look like a collection to some people but they are just lights I bought in the search for the perfect one.

I never understood the desire to have dozens of the same type of light. Every light I buy is different from the last. My “collection” and interest evolves. Right now I am into 18650, penlights and 1-AAA lights. When I first started, I had Surefires with CR-123s that cost $100-300. Now I have a $5.00 ThruNite Ti that is brighter on 10440 than my old high dollar SF. In 10 years we will have keychain lights that outshine our most powerful 1AA lights.
