The latest years I have not done much in the hobby, but still kept my two square meters of flashlight universe behind the cupboard in our small appartment. Every now and then I still do a mod but I do not spend serious time in the flashlight hobby anymore. Recently I started clearing it out a bit to make the hobby corner more generally usable for other small hobby and repairs, as well as the odd flashlight job. Among other stuff it resulted in two sizable boxes of flashlights that I have no use for, spanning a decade of collecting and modding flashlights. It contains outdated flashlights and mods, as well as many modded flashlights that I still find well done, very often with high CRI emitters (my preference), as well as brand new flashlights that were never modded, and also many flashlights that are still in their boxes. It is a mixture of budget flashlights and flashlights that are more high-end.
I would like to donate it to the first flashlight lover who responds in this thread who takes the trouble to pick them up at my place in Amsterdam. I realise that this limits the amount of people who can do this enormously (I guess just some dutch people and perhaps some germans), but I have my doubts that if I send these boxes with large numbers of weird metal objects around the world that it will pass the various customs without trouble.
I hope that I can make someone somewhat happy with these, and for the record: they need to go all at once, so that my clearing action is indeed succesful, and very important: these lights are used at your own risk, most will just work fine but the majority have been tinkered with so you will get no guaranties whatsoever from me.
Many greetings from Amsterdam and may BLF live on for ever

Wow Jos, thatās what I call a clean break. Itās maybe the best way to shut a door behind you.
I myself am more the type of a fat lady on a diet, few lights less, few lights more.
Just wondering who might be able to āabsorbā such an amount of lumens.
You will be missed. Unless you will become a silent lurker?
Iām really tempted, (I already started thinking of things to do/mod with several of the lights I spottedā¦), but I have already a big list of plans/mods Iām wanting to do with lights I already have, so for now I will ābite my tongueā and see if there is another BLF member that could be made happy with it!
Still an amazing offer, certainly for people who like modded lights (and like to mod lights themself)!
So tempting; Amsterdam is only a 40-50min drive for meā¦
Hi Henk, also still here . Not thƔt clean, I still keep a small box of lights around, many more than are useful for normal people. And I check BLF every now and then to see what keeps us busy.
Oh so this is THE djozz whose posts Iāve come across. Iām new to the hobby so you donāt know me; just want to let you know even though you are long āgoneā, your excellent posts live on in perpetuity . Still being read and checked and compared. Such as this one on change in Duv with AR lens (we got similar results fwiw/lol and it was very nice to see confirmation of my amateur testing).
