The BIG flashlight collection thread - List your flashlight collection here!

LED Flashlights – General Info
135

:smiley: I can think of several worse ones, I.E. gun collecting, Car modding, hell, hobby aircraft even. But I love the oxymoronic tittle of this site! At least we are among friends?

I’m glad to be here, and I thought my light collection was getting silly, thanks for reassuring me of my relative sanity everyone!

My list, with photos to come!

Misc:
Cheap button cell tri-led head pickup magnet
Streamlight Nano keychain light

AAA:
Streamlight Stylus Pro x2 Nice light for the pocket, easier to lose than a pen!
Misc Pen light from Snap-on (free) falls apart all the time, disaster of a light!

CR123a:
Streamlight Pro-tac 2 - modded with XM-L2

18650:
EagleTac T25C2 Modded w/XM-L2 High CRI (don’t like the hue, great for work though) & XP-L Drop-in
Eagletac T20C2 (x2, one new one old body) 5 modded drop ins, XM-L2, XP-G2, XP-L
Eagletac D25LC2 Un-modded XM-L2 light
Eagletac MC34 XM-l2 In the mail, can’t wait for this one!

Headlamps:
Nitecore HC-60 Trusty Hardhat light for two years, taken apart for repair but not modded
Zebralight HL-600 Great headlamp, very light, super bright, easy to use.

Need to diversify my brands, but love the Eagletac stuff in hand, and I’ve found out how to take apart the pills to repair/mod them easily. Even found out how to easily make the T25c2 take 16mm sinkpads instead of 14mm.

In the true spirit of BLF, all of my lights cost less than $30

^ Real nice family portrait there. You got some pretty sweet lights. Congrats :)

141

why is the picture b&w?

142

Thanks. I appreciate it!

143

I don’t know. I kind of like black and white, sometimes.

144

Thanks for the color picture, goes to show how few colored flashlights are sold.

145

Hmm I’m at around 30+ now, I could probably qualify for posting in this thread.

146

Yes - you should definitely post :smiley:

147

See my give away thread:

Batteries

Can’t be bothered listing battery quantities, but every light has batteries in it at all times and I have a mix of Sony VTC5, Efest 35A, Samsung 25r, Panasonic NCR18650B/PD/PF, Keeppower 18650/26650, MNKE 26650, Efest 10440/18350, AW IMR 18350, Nitecore 16340

149

What is the one in back left with the big diffuser?

150

Which one is your favorite flashlight, but only one?

151

That’s the first one on my list. Solarforce L2N with the LT-1 lantern kit.

It’s too hard to pick, but probably the FF4. There aren’t many lights around that will do 7000lm and 400kcd along with a nice tint.

In led though it would be between the TN36 and the TN31. For very different reasons.

152

Who are you asking?

Edit - never mind. Now, it’s clear.

153

Latest picture, incorporating the newly-acquired Nitecore HC50 Headlamp

Not pictured Fenix PD40 (used, ceiling-bounced, to take this shot lol). I still need to get outdoors with these lights. Better pictures, all the way around, when taken outdoors, in natural light.

For complete lights listing, please see Post # 141.

Dang dude.
