Pretty much same situation here I think. Kind of bored/I have everything I want. I see new models as only minor upgrades over what I already have.
I have interest though in new old stocks; I’m looking into good old Sunwayman from 5+ years ago or so.
I also wish Haikelite would come up with something like MT03/MT09R; maybe an 8x18650?

With me it’s not even that. I already have “in rotation” all the lights I need. MH20 in my pocket all the time, but I rarely use it, as it’s an on-the-go light, not an at-home light.

At home, there’s the Cometa for pretty much everything. WK30 for snooping around in red/UV. bobofett to burn down “dead” alkaleaks when tailstanding. DC7 for when I want/need lots of oomf outside and moonlight or thereabouts when I don’t. I don’t even use my SP10 anymore and that was hella useful with F/L/M in the main rotation and H as “turbo”.

I emptied out my bag so don’t even carry my Jet-II as a backup anymore, just the SP32Av2 in its holster.

Everything else I got is kinda extraneous at this point. Even nice lights like the TK15/TK18/C8anything/GTminimicronanopicofemtoatto/etc., I’m not likely to use because one or more lights I already have “out” could fill in.

Like I said, I’m kinda all flashlighted out. Pretty much got full coverage for whatever situation I’d encounter. Even my MT09R is loaded, but locked out. When do I “need” that over a DC7/Q8?

How does that work?

This for me too. I’m eagerly awaiting the new D80, then I plan (hope) to chill for a while.
I should get an Emisar, I’m probably one of the few that doesn’t have yet, but I’m thinking about getting a couple older ones fixed or upgraded, if that’s possible.

Hmmmm… that’s tempting but I should have specified the ripple body. I can just tell the other is too smooth and slippery for my preferences.

Here’s another dream -

Emisar D4 V2

Sofirn SP10S ( still waiting for the Anduril version )

Fireflies E07

Maglite Solitaire Incandescent or something with incandescent bulb that is cheap ( that's correct, i just want to know what would be like getting a flashlight 30 years ago )

Malkoff Hound Dog

Imalent MS18 R90TS Kit :face_with_monocle:

The only light on my list right now is the BLF LT.

Apart from that, I’m basically waiting for the next step up in high CRI LEDs, whether that’s availability of nicer tint bins or new parts with higher output efficiency.

I could be tempted by a really good flashlight / powerbank / Li-Ion charger combo, though, if it had 500lm - 800lm light output, a high CRI neutral white LED and a 5V / 3A USB output.

1. FW1A
2. Lumintop EDC18
3. Astrolux MF01 mini

That’s all I plan at the moment. Maybe if there is a good sale I buy something else

BLF LT
Emissar D4S V2….

I’m not as much as a flashoholic as some of you guys so the range of lights I have now “enough”. From the 7 lights, the Sofirn SF14 to the Q8, I covered all the usable range.

I’ll be “excited” to see a 12-15,000 lumen version of a Q8 like light, but I think we need the next generation of LED’s to get there.

Already invented:

Lemax Superpower. Because I do not have one yet.

Imalent MS18. Because it is the current king of Flood.

Another Imalent R90TS. Because I want to see what the effect of two of these, one in each hand, looks like.

Acebeam K75. Because it is the current led king of throw.

Acebeam X70. Because it is the king of really waterproof flood.

-----------------------

Not yet invented (NYI): 4 x 21700 4 x XHP70.2 flooder, a la X45.

(NYI):4 x 21700 K75

(NYI):8 x 21700 X70

(NYI):8 x 21700 X65

Also, all of the above, in LEP.

-----------------

Also, smaller lights: Single 21700, single XHP70.2, one throw and another flood; and both in LEP.

FW3A… and few others that I really don’t need and probably won’t purchase…

More money. Then I could buy anything I wanted.

Seriously though, mostly I want two BLF LT1’s

Copper BLF GT.

FW3A brushed aluminum
(or stonewashed aluminum, however not sure how that would look like)

Already exist. Look at the Emissar D18, ROT66 Gen 2 and MF01S
