The One Hundred........

You’re all sick demented people.

Someday in the middle of the nite you’re gonna get chased down by a couple of large guys in white coats swinging big butterfly nets.

(Pro-Tip: Use 4 strobing Q8’s to ward them off. Don’t ask how I know this works.)

Probably, if you add up all the ones I haven’t used in years and stuffed in a closet, never to be seen again. And some are just multiple copies of lights from cheap group buys (like A01’s and 348’s), which for some reason I bought way more than I need.

But for lights I occasionally still use, probably no more than two or three dozen. And, let’s face it: I really could get by with just a handful if I had to. The rest are toys.

Ya know I kinda have this secret fear. I’ll share it with you.

At my wake, the wife drenched in tears discusses what she found hidden around the house…….

Let’s put it this way. I’d have to sell a manure cart full of lights before I can see a thin herd

I haven’t counted mine but my guess is I should have around 100. If not, I will definitely exceed it eventually. Flashlights are so fun. I use it for work and I use my high CRI/good tint/warm white ones at night while watching TV because the ambience it creates is better than the light from ceiling fixtures.

Shame on you, you made me count. Didn’t even get to the deep stash :person_facepalming:

djozz · 2018-05-22T17:43:24.000Z

I’m roughly at 1 flashlight per 100 BLF posts :person_facepalming:

You know, there is still interest for at least the BLF 348s here. You could sell a few lights, if you’re really just letting them rot otherwise. :innocent:

DavidEF · 2018-05-22T18:03:56.000Z

Oh, I have much fewer than 100 lights. I guess I’m not so much a flashaholic after all! :sunglasses:

Newlumen · 2018-05-22T18:08:00.000Z

About 110 here… againthelaw have more lights than we all combine…

“I’m roughly at 1 flashlight per 100 BLF posts :person_facepalming: ”

I think that shows incredible control and mastery over oneself. Only 120 flashlights over the course of 68 months posting on BLF is a little less than 2 per month.

Hell there are SICKOS here that do that PER DAY. Of course I’m not THAT sick. Thank gaw’d I got it down to only 1.4 flashlights per day. :+1:

Or give them away. I like to leave small lights like that with friends and family. Visiting my father leave one in his garage. Having a trip on a friends boat, leave one on the boat.

Guess i’m trying to spread the virus. Not much luck yet though :person_facepalming:

Sounds like you’ve seen in person his FlashStash.

So you’re kinda traumatized eh?

Yeah, but shipping would be more than the price of the light. (Postal prices in Canada are high!) Besides, I keep thinking I might gift some, but then I think of how my worthless friends are not deserving of any high-CRI light, and I change my mind. :smiling_imp:

dchomak · 2018-05-22T19:11:14.000Z

Over 100
In fact last night when my wife came down to the man cave to say good night, she looked around and exclaimed
“Let there be light”

toddcshoe · 2018-05-22T19:54:26.000Z

No comment. The wife is watching. She’s always watching. She is everywhere. Thank god she doesn’t have the combo to the gun safe. Or maybe I should say flashlight safe with a few guns in it.

lawallac · 2018-05-22T20:13:53.000Z

I think at one point I had 38 lights. I’m not entirely certain when that was, but I think it might have been before I had a Q8 and then another, before the GT and then another, before M43 and then another. Then came all the Astrolux lights. I know I wasn’t counting the Emisar D1S cause that just came. So I don’t really count but I can say I could still make a list and name every one.

chops728 · 2018-05-22T20:24:43.000Z

Can I just count the ones I see from the front of the cabinet—- In that case it’s not quite 100—-BUT— I have at least that many hidden up in there also—~~We’re not counting parts right—Oh wait I forgot the 25 or so at the camp—~~ Yes can you say Excessive

chadvone · 2018-05-23T01:55:50.000Z

Not many, I am poor and have to sell to buy.
