In that BLF introduced me to retailers such as DX...
1. My (modded) TrustFire F20: Has been my EDC flashlight for about a year now. Single 14500 light with CW XM-L U2 emitter, perfect size and with pocket clip. Lots of light on high, lows modes are great. Has been lost, found, lost, found again... I was without it for 2-3 weeks recently and thought I had lost it forever. Glad to have it back.
2. My Boker Subcom clone knife: Cheap, very thin, lightweight, but the unique body shape makes it easy to grip, like a larger knife. This has been my EDC knife for nearly 5 years now (!) and is another piece I would absolutely hate to lose:
Hmm . . . tough question for me. I guess it's my Convoy S2 w/clip (my EDC). Prior to BLF I didn't even think about EDC'ing a flashlight. 2nd place probably goes to some of my knives, Leen 1203-1 and Enlan EM-01. I never knew I needed a new knife (or a few dozen) until I came to BLF! :)

and in a roundabout way, my ecigs, without my love of high powered torches and the cells that feed them, getting into decent ecigs would have been a bind, as it is, I merely had to buy mods and tanks snd apply my blf garnered knowledge to the new toys.
oh and the biggest thing is my mobile, , without it I would have no access to blf, tff or tvf and all the friends I have made.
Just wish I could still buy those batteries. Three successive orders have now been returned to FastTech, having been rejected by Singapore Post, China post, and now Hong Kong Post. Fingers crossed that my latest order via Swiss Post gets through
Nitecore i4 charger - Keeps almost everything except my laptop powered
Trustfire tr-3t6 - My goto flashlight for anything I do at night
Convoy S4 t6-4c with nlite firmware - My current EDC, replaced my Jetbeam BA10 which I bought because of cpf
Lenovo P580 - My laptop which spends way too much time on BLF…. Not purchased because of blf, but then again neither was my visa which also gets a good workout here
I have too many lights, so I tend to use my favourites in rotation, and use a hobby charger more often than any one light. But far and away the most often used item is a DMM.
For me it’s been the Convoy S2. Had one for years and it’s been my most heavily used flashlight of all. It’s compact and provides high and low output to meet my needs. Great little flashlight. Sometime soon I’ll grab a S2+ (blue).
My Tank007 E09 that resides in my pocket every day and gets used many times a day some days. ( and its modded with as N/W XP-G2, TIR optic, and a tail-cap magnet.
Because of the nuttiness that this site has rendered me in I have to many lights to use one more than most as that simply would not be fair to the collection. The one exception I can think of to that is for my humble Nitecore tube which is permanently on my ID lanyard which I wear around my neck everyday at work. I can’t think of a work shift where it has not been used at least once.
