@Davx: those multi-LED "noob" lights can be pretty decent, too. I always have a couple of those around.
I don't have to buy them, tho; they usually come as freebies. Great for lending to others, as backup lights or some are even nice enough to serve as hosts ("if it doesn't fit, try harder!").
I have 15-18 flashlights. But isn't it more important, how much do you use?
I Solarforce L2 is in my car, a Ultrafire C3 in my backpack, which I use some days a week. At home I have a Ultrafire 504B (my EDC). If I need more throw, I use a Romisen RC-T6.
On the way from Hong Kong to me: Solarforce L2p in grey, Trustfire Z1 (will be my small pocket torch)
i have 54 lights... some of them are doubles or triples (like 3 x HS-802). My wife does ask me how many i have and im always saying i have like 10. I feel bad sometimes.
I don't actually know, around 20 I assume. Must do a stocktake the next time the wife goes shopping. I guess I have purchased around 30 but I have given a lot away as gifts
Its probably around 30+ - forgot about my head torches and cheapo lights
I still have my early classics such as original Arc AAA, Mr Bulk's 3AA, Jetbeam original twisty etc. I am too scared to count the total. At least with my 18650 lights, I am limited to the current stash of Flamethrower batteries but with AA or AAA, there is really no effective limit to their growth in numbers.
