My attempt to answer this fundamentally comes down to the idea of not wanting to place a scratch on my precious torches. So a second torch is purchased to allow the first to be used, but I don't want to let the one I'm using get scratched, so another is purchased, and the cycle goes on....
Alternatively, when there are different finishes or options involved, its a case of getting the other options, a bit like card collecting.

Worthy of a thread bump… heres the current state of my collection. The incan mags on the left from biggest to smallest are mods… MAG-1185, ROP-HI, ROP-LO. I’ll probably convert them to XML at some point.
Forgot the D30, next to the HD2010 for size reference.
There are some collection threads like this over at CPF that are mind boggling/breathtaking. I used to spend hours looking/never commenting. What do you say to a guy that posts pics of his $30k collection?
congratulationsFoy
If that is the one I looked at the guy spent $30,000 in 6 months!
Russian dynamo light – do any of you have one too? I bought four, I put one in the car gave two away and left a spare at home. The rifles are Norinco, kinda went with the theme.!!

Wow, is there really someone on CPF with a $30,000 collection in 6mos? Can you please let me know the link if you bookmarked it?
I used to go on TimeZone (a watch forum) and some of the guys had collections in the hundreds of thousands per watch box, but Ive never heard of that with flashlights.
So if you could pls point me to that link Id really appreciate it since I dont browse the CPF much. Thanks.

Hhahahahah, so I went to follow that link…guess what? CPF is down, LOL. I will book mark and check again later.
Again, wow. Basically he spent 30,000 on custom lights that aren’t that bright.
Yeah its bizarre, spending that much money on flashlights in such a short time. Heck I research a 20$ light for about a month before I buy it. Then after I wait I think to myself Im glad I didnt buy it what do I need another light for, hahahha.
Multiples of the same torch.. lol.
