This thread was originally a "what lights should I keep" thread, and turned it into my sales thread...

Now most is sold, this is the list Im currently still having around, and using.

Fenix LD01
MBI HF-R
Solarforce L2i (tan color)
Klarus P2A
Convoy C8
Sunwayman V20C
Acebeam K40M

Maglite 3D

Feel free to PM me about any possible combo deals or offers.

Id like to get rid of most of my lights. And these are the lights I can remember having around.

I would say definitely keep the Sinner and the K40M, but you should keep the ones you like most

I would keep these:

Copper AA beauty

Convoy S2+ grey

Solarforce L2M

Yezl Y3

Reasoning: these lights have a pragmatic reason to exist. the small, good looking EDC. The bigger EDC as backup or in the bag. The L2M for flexibility and can be upgraded going forward with a new drop-in. Yezl Y3 for the bigger tasks around the home or in the car.

you can mix and match with other models, but 4-5 lights is all you need to cover the main tasks, I guess.

Oh and I like the brands/quality/price point of the ones I mentioned.

edit: I would potentially also keep one big flooder, but not necessarily an expensive one. I have a SRK 7xXML and never use it. wouldn’t know where/when.

true... just seeing what people would choose. If they give a certain reason, maybe it would change my mind.

I was thinking maybe keeping the Fenix LD01, SF L2i, SWM V11R, Klarus P2A, Copper sinner, K40M MBI HF.
and maybe 2-3 more.....

Yes, thinking about the L2M, with about 8 dropins I have, so I can swap without having to solder etc.

I didn’t have a flashlight my entire life.

Then I accidentally bought a SK68 clone on ebay. Then I found BLF a few months ago. Now I am 400+ $US down and I don’t even know why or what I should do with the few budget lights I got.

I travel a lot and certainly don’t have the space/weight to keep them… hmmm

Copper sinner
Yezl Y3
S2+

IMO these 3 are must have.

XP-1, bike light(until you have a better one), the custom ones/BLF ones. From easily replaceable to irreplaceable. XP-1 is just plain handy, you need one bike light anyway, custom lights are once only everything else is replaceable chaff.

ITP, D40, K40M

11

good points. I was thinking towards having 1-2 small ones, 1-2 medium ones, 1-2 big ones.

12

…honestly, those were the ones I was going to suggest you keep…the other is the blue S2+; personally, if I were in “reduction” mode, I’d “ditch” the rest.

Best single aaa

Best single aa

Best multi aa

Best single 18650

Best multi 18650

1 incan ( or 1 lowtech light)

14

Why are you downsizing? Do people reach a point in flashoholism when they say enough is enough?

15

Keep the K40M, give the rest to me :bigsmile:

16

Great ideas ;)

Why less? I'm using too much of my spare time here. And you can guess what the other reason is.

17

what happened to the rule that everyone should have AT LEAST “just the basic one hundred absolutely-necessary-can’t do without them…” flashlight-headlamp-searchlight… :Sp

18

I would dich the wife :stuck_out_tongue:

19

I’m a hoarder. The only time I part with a flashlight is when I give one away or otherwise it’s junk.

If you were forced to keep the number down to 5, keep your best AAA, AA,Acebeam K40M and the A6.

Acebeam K40M, everybody’s darling. MTG2, best knurling and anodisation I’ve ever seen, big AR lens. That’s a keeper.
