Oh and BTW its been three weeks since I purchased (or received) may last lumens fix.
(I did finish three “existing” mods though).
four more to go.
With my just getting billed for the last GB i was in, and Christmas coming, and me needing some home-stuff I am hopping on the wagon 
Let’s see how long I can hang on!
Honestly, there’s no lights I need on the GB horizon, can’t justify the Thrunite Ti that was tempting me, they’ve sold out on the V5 “buckle”, I have some light projects to do with what I already have on hand (does that count?), and many other projects/chores waiting I think I can go at least 2 months, maybe 3, without another purchase. Gonna try.

Today I saw a post about “look to your left… the first thing you see is what you would hoard as a dragon”. But I don’t think I need to be a dragon for this one. What I saw was a pile of bare-metal lights, and it made me realize I now have 16 different models:
- Reylight BLF Ti
- Sinner Cypreus
- CNQG Brass 18650
- CNQG Brass AA
- Olight S10 Ti w/ MELD
- Convoy S7
- bare BLF A6
- BLF X6v2 SS/Cu
- BLF X5 Cu
- BLF-348
- DQG Tiny AAA IV
- Cooyoo Quantum SS
- DQG Fairy
- stripped Zebralight SC52
- Thrunite T10T
- EagleTac D25A Ti
… and #17 on its way soon, I think, because someone decided it’d be a good holiday gift.
5 different metals, 6 different categories of button/twisty, 7 different battery types, 11 different families of emitter, 13 different UIs.
I might have a problem.
lol, good insight! By my measure, I kind of fell off the wagon because I recently bought something… for a friend… but only didn’t also get one for myself because of limited stock. :8)
By your measure, I have yet to start counting, which gives me a fresh start when I get some packages soon! :bigsmile:
Good job! Hang in there!!! 
It’s “18sixfifty”s fault. He offered a well-modded C8 with 2 good cells for $20 with free shipping and I just couldn’t resist. Going for a restart to try again.

I’m really proud of myself for resisting the 47 Copper P1 deal. First time I’ve been able to resist Copper. 
I didn’t buy any of the wonderfull BLF X5/X6 Astrolux S2/S3 neither aluminum or copper/steel. I’m proud of myself 
I did, however, build my first triple S2+ with Nichia 219C and BLF A6 driver. I’m also proud of that…
Guess I’m still a flashaolic after all 
Hey, I got an ad in the mail today for something which might help if you’re trying to quit.
(click for bigger version, or full size)
Well, running help me quit… I ran out of money. :weary:
Misleading & False advertising. I used them & they did Not stop me from craving lights.
TK, I am Very disappointed that you have posted this here. 
I Lolzenged.
I am soooo off the wagon. I spent a grand in two weeks and will probably spend another 500 this week. I love it, I am sooo high on flashlights I can fly...like a beam of light through the sky. Who has something they want to sell! BTU Shocker? I already have two but have no issue buying another.
Anyone need a sponser?
lol!
jhalb, I am envious as you have achieved greater enlightenment than I have.
HAHHAHA
besides vesture of bloods xpg-3 emitters i don’t think i’ve bought a thing this year ….OTOH i already have a few lights …
Almost everything I mod is better than anything I buy . for starters i only mod lights I already really like so i’m taking a nice light I like already and making it just that much better …Hard not to like what you’ve already loved when it just gets better and better.
My ramping Ak-O-ray is now a much nicer light with a sweet nw xpg-2 4A in it . and my BLF AA-Y4E is the bomb with a nichia 219c.
I’m such a lazy modder anyway .So naturally I’m modding the best of the best of lights I can easily mod…Even modability has been factored into my decision to buy or not to buy .
it just keeps getting better
Haven’t got anything new since D80. But I did purchase a few spare drivers. 
I’ve managed to avoid purchasing the L6, S70 and Astrolux S41 so far…looking for encouragement :confounded:
Well I’m cured. :>) Although I have 9 flashlights within arms length and always have at least one flashlight on my person whenever I’m up and around, day or night, I haven’t even had the desire to buy anything new. Just lost that love’n feeling… :>)
Hello, I am The Miller and I am a flashoholic.
Yes i made the mistake in ordering some small primary cell cheap zoomies lately.
But I was able to resist ordering the Convoy L6 NW for now!
Well that didn’t last long. Started having the old cravings again. Ordered a Chrome L2 from Fast Tech, plus a Lii-500 charger to measure the real capacity of all my various batteries. I also ordered a few parts and pieces from Solarforce. It looks like Solarforce is transitioning out of the Flashlight business or at least out of the P60 line. So wanted to pick up a few parts.
I’m also looking at a big light a Convoy L6 or Trustfire Jxx of some kind. Don’t really need a big boomer of a light but when did that ever matter. Seems like button top 26650 are out of stock everywhere, at least for the quality ones.
