CAPO my siberian turned me into a flashaholic! No doubt if it was not for him I would never have gotten my First[now~40] flashlight or would have had a need for these Flashlight forums!
If I had a collection like that to show I would too. I honestly don’t know how many flashlights I have now. I know my numbers are getting up there but I don’t think I’m anywhere near the 100 mark yet.
I’m not skilled in modding lights yet as I just don’t have the time to get into it as much as I want to right now. Family and work take priority. I certainly will get into modding at some point but I haven’t yet had the time needed to give to the hobby I love. My end of this world now is limited to collecting knowledge and inspiring my friends who have the time and experience to make cool flashlight stuff happen.
However long it takes me to get there I’m very much enjoying my journey and the BLF community. :+1:

That will do for now, as always i get a little carried away…………….to finish in style , the ultraOK and yes it still works today!!!
Lets see how it goes, i am already signed up for the Q8.
Luckily you can not get flashlights off some shady person and then have to pay for them at a later date, and as a retired Dane my finances are not that good.
I am scouring the internet for batteries now, got new chargers lined up, and i still like a 26650 replacement of my P36
But i think with the Q8 my collection will be full, though i have been thinking about one of the really small EDC lights, but then i got to think i already carry my stupid phone and it have a little light too for mundane things.
I did EDC the P36 for a while but the poor pouch it came with from nitecore failed in a few months, i will have to look for something stronger in this regard, and a little more roomy so it can hold the U 21.
I am planning making a kydex sheath for some of my knives, maybe i make a kydex sheath for some of my flashlights too.
But this are still some months in the future.
PS. my addiction would like if the Q8 was ready for summer
BTW when i do have the Q8 in hand i make sure to get a beam shot selfie at one of this chain of gas stations here.
I have 1 opus and these xtar in use, opus is main use down stairs, others are for when i am up stairs or require more bays. If its still not enough, then i break out more chargers……
I have 2 hobby chargers, several chargers in work as well……………one can not have too many chargers……….if you have too many ,then you dont have enough batteries
Most of my heavy duty stuff are in storage since i sold the house, so i just have this for charging in my window sill.
It work okay, even with the RC batteries i don’t even max out the 6 amps on the Hyperion charger.
Most often i charge with 2 - 4 amps on the RC batteries, but have a few really small 2S ones ( 450 mah ) i only charge with 0,5 A.
