I see you have 4 angle flashlights with green colour in the body.
Could you advise why you have four of them? Different emitter per flashlight, perhaps?
Is that a Rayz 1000 Lumen 9 x AA on the bottom shelf, second from left? Seven years ago, back in 2014, I was so excited about that light that I bought three of them from True Value. A few months later was the Coleman C-Tac60 600 lumen XM-L2 18650, and then finally, I discovered the Four-Sevens MMU-X3. Oct. 2014, 1,600 lumens, 26650, 3 x XML2.
I have never seen a photo or mention of the Rayz 1000 Lumen on the forums. You have a nice collection, and thanks for the happy memories. :)
Just a bad decision tbh. I bought them many years ago, very inexpensive. I hsd assumed they were all metal, but just the part sticking out from the body is metal, so you can’t go with a higher power driver. I modified one w/ an xml (I think they have xpe clone) and gave it away, never got around to doing the others. Very tight beam. Maybe someday I’ll find a better host for the TIR in them.
Yes! That was a gift. When SFT40s are available again one is definitely going in that. One of the few lights I’ve been given that I kept.
I like :heart_eyes:
Are the lights hardwired or do they run off a battery?
They’re USB, so they could run off a battery. I have some shelves where I charge all sorts of stuff next to this so they’re plugged into AC->USB.
They cost more than others but the sections were almost the same measurement as the shelves, so I was able to get 2 strips above each shelf. I just had to notch the edges of the shelves w/ a file to pass the wire.
Nice, i would love a shelf like that and lit up 24/7 with all my lights in them 
I have my edc lights in the top drawer of my desk. Beater lights and headlamps are less organized in the garage. Throwers in my backpack. Not used lights are stored in their boxes.
Thats a nice setup, i never see those foam setups locally.
It’s pick n pluck foam. Online available at Amazon, Ebay, Ali etc.
Its nice but not efficient. The foam takes more space than the lights.
Everything is a compromise. That method offers abrasion protection and what is available is easily selected. I like the tradeoff made against maximization of use of space.
Good to know its name, thanks
Just use a suitcase, then space efficiency is not as consequential .
Nice Bling!
Turned out great.
Are the strips the 6.5 feet or 9.8 ?
Thanks, I bought the 9.8. In this photo you can see that it is divided into sections, almost the same length as the shelves, so there are 2 strips above each shelf. It has several brightness settings but the only mode motion controlled that turns them on briefly, which is what I wanted. In the reviews on amazon someone showed where to remove a resistor that disables the motion sensor, so the power button works like a normal one.
1 Thank
The efficiency is in having a dedicated location for the lights.
But almost all have 219b’s in them, so maybe I like inefficient 
I store mine in my house
I have a black stand like this that used to be my media center stand. My media center got upgraded and now this thing sits near the middle of my apartment acting as a sort of side table. Currently my flashlights hang out on the top shelf with the batteries installed. I might have to adjust my strategy if it starts to look too cluttered though. It’s getting close.
I store mine all over the house with the tail caps slightly loose. My wife still hasn’t figured out that a quick turn and they work. I love her frustration on all these broken lights around the house. None work when she needs them.
that’s why you have to keep buying more. darn things just don’t last long.
