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

Why do you keep your torches in Faraday cages?

It is a precaution; my collection of flashlights is part of my “emergency warehouse”, where I have a little bit of everything, from food to batteries, from toilet paper to communication tools (Walkie Talkie, flares, etc.).
Each of these instruments is protected in relation to the dangers that can alter its functions.
Flashlights usually have a metal casing, which however is connected to the negative pole and therefore to the electronics and this makes them sensitive to any strong solar storms (Carrington); it is only for this reason that they are inside metal casings, isolated from the walls (in the Faraday cage the electricity is outside, but also inside the metal walls).

Hi wow some of those lights are Beautiful. Can you tell me what are the last 2non the right of the bottom picture, thanks

Considering I have probably over 200 lights, no way I would list them all. I especially have many Astrolux, Sofirn, Olight, Thrunite, Lumintop, Convoy, and Nitecore. It is easier to name brands I do not have any of…Acebeam, Ultrafire, Wurkkos, and Jetbeam to name a few. My main collection actually began with Voidhawk, which were all focus type lights. Most of my lights range from 30 bucks to 300 bucks. My collection is insane, with most stored in large plastic storage containers. My collection of lights are rivaled by my collection of knives, and vape gear. I am unsure which is larger, but in all cases I tend to have way more than 1 of each. I have six Lumintop Tool AA v2 for example and 5 of the Astrolux FT03 SST40-W. My very expensive 200+ dollar lights I have only 1 of. My most used light is the Lumintop tool AA v2. Other favorites are the Astrolux FT03 SST40-W…a great value thrower, and the Lumintop GT micro which has been modified with the Osram led for a rated 809 meter throw. Do not know if it is over stated, but the throw is amazing from such a small light. The even more tiny Nano is good for maybe 10 minutes, but that tiny battery goes quickly. I have 1 of the modified GT micro in aluminum, and 2 in brass…well counting the one purchased but not yet delivered. I really have not counted them all, but I have over 200 for sure. I am not including the cheap throw away lights.

It’s funny how collecting lights has become almost like collecting coins.

I feel like its been awhile since i posted, and almost my entire lineup has changed since the last time i posted here. these are my edc's, i dont have a picture of my large throwers or holster carry lights at the moment. Of course the rot66 and mf01 mini aren't edc, but i keep these 12 together in the same spot. i have 6 more coming in, so will post another picture in a couple weeks when those arrive. Obviously i like to share the pictures, but its nice for documenting for myself too.

Thanks, I posted a link to a pic recently in this forum: The BIG flashlight collection thread - List your flashlight collection here! - #321 by richbuff

That pic is only a few of them, all in one pic is too small. Also, I have attached recent pics on another forum. https://www.candlepowerforums.com/vb/showthread.php?246042-What-LED-flashlight-is-sitting-on-your-nightstand&p=5429167#post5429167

Sorry about the external link; it is so much easier for me to attach pic to a forum. My apologies.

You have a very nice collection. Thanks for posting your nice collection!

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

The world is so confusing and bewildering. Just getting through life one moment at a time. Ok, which flashlight forum am I on right now? I got it narrowed down to one or two of three. Taxes. Death. Anaphylaxis. Stop. Go. Wait. Hurry. Deal with life on earth. Double check that I am really on the light forum that I think I am on.

Thanks! Sorry I posted my comment in the middle of your post. That was wierd and accidental. Awesome thanks for sharing!

WISH copper lumintop tool AAA

BLF A6

photon X CR2032

various others

OK, here is the pretty much completed arsenal as of now. I have (1) more coming in - the Wildtrail WT90 sbt90 thrower. After that, i will probably be halting purchases until something awesome and new comes along that i really "NEED" lol. Or, a used K75 comes along that is $200 or less LOL, that i would buy today if available. Anyway.. about the lights, some notes:

-I just remembered - i have a copper FT03s packed away i forgot to take out for the picture

-All the aux LEDs are set to blue or magenta because i set them to monitor battery life

-The 5 smaller lights that are all the same (bottom left) are Xeno E03's with different emitters (sst40 5000k, xml 5000k, osram NM1 blue, osram NM1 red, sst20 2700k)

-the GT mini has an sbt90.2 in it, i installed

-all of the convoys have different emitters (of course)

-the sc31 pro has a xpl-hi 4000k, i installed

-the astrolux mf02s is the sbt90.2 version

-the K1's are= CULPM1, XHP35 4000k, sbt90.2

-The astrolux C8 has a Green osram PM1, i installed

-Yes, i only have 1 headlamp (sofirn sp40), but i have about 4 more cheapies kicking around the house.

-The most carried / used = KR4 Ti/Cu, KR4 Black/Ti, d4v2 gray w/ amber switch, FireFlies e07x pro (blue body) w/ sst20 5000k, xeno e03 2700k. Almost All get used though

thats it!

Sweet, nice color selection.

That is a nice collection. The only thing that I can add is that you should have kept most of the ones that you sold. :)

Awesome collection. After your Wildtrail WT90 sbt90 thrower arrives, it could be set on center stage with the rest looking at it from the audience. :wink:

thanks Zoulas!

richbuff- thank you! I know.. it pained me to sell them but it was in an effort to buy these. I will probably, stupidly, over the next 6 months buy back half of what I sold in new full (sale) prices. Lesson learned, either way in my situation it'll take time to buy what I want. Like the k75 .. lol. No more selling lights to buy other lights unless I just don't want the lights anymore. Which wasn't really the case..

haha, yes I love that. thanks cncman! Yes and I forgot the copper ft03s, that'll look nice with the WT90 too. I appreciate the nice words man!

Hi nice collection. What are the lights in the first row left with what looks like finger holds thanks
