Being am BLF-member for over half a year, its time to introduce myself (better late than never :-))
I am a 26yo student (mechanical engineering), and I love being outdoors (biking, running, hiking, climbing, geocaching) and therefore I need many lights :bigsmile: So, here is my collection:
There are:
- Ultrafire WF-502B with self-made XM-L T6 8x 7135 3 mode drop-in (wow, thats bright!)
- Ultrafire WF-502B with XP-G R5 4x 7135 3 mode drop-in
- Ultrafire WF-502B (guess whats my favourite host!) with UV drop-in
- cheap discounter 3AAA LED light (for modest homework)
- ebay 4AAA UV-LED graveyard (40 something LEDs)
- Fenix LD20 Q5, my most expensive light, but I don't use it anymore. Wouldn't have bought it if I had known BLF :)
- MTE SF-23 SSC P7, wanted a multi-die flooder and I like it
- Eastward XGR2 XR-E R2, an excellent thrower with nice form factor
- Eastward XBR5 XP-G R5, also an impressive thrower
- Lucido Lightwave 2000 (3AA), my first LED light (from 2001) with endless runtime, still use it for indoor sneaking
- Maglite 3D, with Dittmann LED drop-in, powered by 3AA eneloops, so its pleasantly lightweight
- Trustfire Z1 XP-E Q5, one of my favourite lights
- LED Lenser promotional gift, but I can say i own a genuine LED Lenser, yay!
- Eastward J08 XP-G R5, one of my favourite EDCs
- Maglite Solitaire, LED mod
- Promotional gift light (3AAA), 10mm LED fun mod
- Ultrafire A30B naked, XR-E Q5
- Trustfire F23
- Eastward J09, 4(!)mode version, no stupid blink blink, my favourite EDC
- Trustfire R5-A3 XP-G R5, a true pocket rocket,
- Uniquefire S10, XP-G R5 mod, there are genuine XP-Gs now at dx
- Trustfire Tr-801, XP-G R5 1,4A mod, the smallest 18650 light I can imagine (and cheap!)
- Romisen RC-C5, XP-G R5 3mode mod, my first mod, and one of my favourite night hike lights, its very reliable
- Head lamp flood to throw, 1x 18650, an explosive belt for my head ;)
- Ultrafire UF-H2B, superb flood headlight, but the drain sucks (haha!), have to loosen the tailcap when I put it back
- Petzl Myo XP, XP-G R5 mod, used for nightly running and biking
to come:
- 4sevens Minix 123, small EDC with XM-L LED, not budget, but I want it!
- ITP EOS A3, 1AAA, yes, I need more variety in my EDCs :)
- Ultrafire C3 SS, hope its really shipped for $5.52...
I use nearly all of my lights regularly, and I try to modify most of them and make them unique. Only possessing many lights would not be fun for me, is the soldering and constant improvement that makes it a hobby. Otherwise the lights would only be tools.
So long!
