Show off your collection! *pics*

Nice collection, KingGlamis.

Thanks Racoon city. How about a pic of the lights that you have? I hope every member contributes a pic, doesn't matter if it is one light or a thousand lights.

I would also like to add that not ONE of my lights is a shelf queen, they ALL get used.

I'm cool with people having shelf queens that are collector's items, but I don't regard the budget lights that I can afford as collector's items, so I use them all. Scratches are badges of honor. That means you actually used the light. Just my two cents...

Even the expensive stuff should be used, that's why it's bought. I really don't get these people who buy hundred dollar+ things only to stick them on a shelf/drawer never to be touched. I mean, geez it's not some genuinely rare museum piece, it's a consumer product that they can manufacture ad infinitum if need be.

I agree completely! If you buy a light, use it! And I don't mean shine it at a white wall for a lame "beamshot" pic. Real beamshots are taken outdoors at a target that is at a distance that the light is designed to reach.

Hahah I agree fully!
On a side note, kingglamis, I was at my parents place in Scottsdale in June. I am absolutely in love with Phoenix. Must say I am jealous of your place of residence!:slight_smile:

thats part of them... ill get a pic/pics sometime

Several pics of both collections would be nice.

my old ar-15 was set up, still trying to get there again

it was a generic lower with a model 1 a2 16" upper, threaded barrel, bayonet lug. and the bushmaster 20" flat top. had custom grips with custom charging handle. also had this .22 conversion. that gun was sweet even though the lower was generic. built it from the ground up.

hit hard times and sold it to my dad with first buy back option. sold it all on me but the 20" flat top for $700, said thats what the guy buying it said it was worth... i could have got close to $1000 for it all :/

Most of my collection. Sold some, gave some away and acquired some new ones. Collection is all faves now! Spark ST6-460NW on its way still so not in the photo yet :)

ps. DONT THINK, JUST BUY THE SHADOW TC6!! top notch quality light, and gorgeous too!

Good choice!

What's the name of that ultra small light? It looks fine for my keychain :D

This is my collection, minus the C3 SS, that one is in my overalls (i use it at work). I have just repaired the Akoray K106, the led was not very bright any more, i think it has been too hot. Now there is a R2 led in there (from the drop in that was original in the UF-C1, wich i have replaced by a UF 3-mode XM-L T6 drop in), so now the Akoray is a little bit brighter than with the original Q5.

I have to stop ordering flashlights, this should be more than enough. But there are some more on the way (UF-501B XM-L T6, UF Flood-to-throw zooming Q5 and a Saintfire K20)...

Looks like a Streamlight Nano Light:

That's correct, it's a Streamlight nano. It is available from Amazon for $6.45 and i got 100 batteries from DX for ~$2. I've had it for over a year and only had to change the batteries once. It's brighter than your average squeeze light IMO and it takes up even less space. The only downside i've read is some people say the head can screw off in your pocket. Rather than waiting to find out, i just wrapped the threads with some plumbers tape when i got it and i've never had a problem.

Mine was black when i bought it, after a year of pocket tumbling, the finish is pretty sparse. But i do have a lot of keys... :)

Thank you both!
