Haha! yeah P10pablo
I got hooked a while back with the 3-cell maglite, with my first drop-in led upgrade kit. It amazed me how bright it was, and with the maglite’s deep reflector, it wowed! a lot of people when I went camping. I thought nothing could be brighter.
Then I got a Terralux (130 lumen I think) flashlight, of which I bought three, thinking nothing is gonna beat these.
It carried on from there
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?
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
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
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.
