Wasn’t planning on buying any more because I just bought a Jetbeam st titanium , fireflies eo7 copper but just saw fireflies has a brass e07 group buy so ya add another to the collection.
Pretty much same situation here I think. Kind of bored/I have everything I want. I see new models as only minor upgrades over what I already have.
I have interest though in new old stocks; I’m looking into good old Sunwayman from 5+ years ago or so.
I also wish Haikelite would come up with something like MT03/MT09R; maybe an 8x18650?
With me it’s not even that. I already have “in rotation” all the lights I need. MH20 in my pocket all the time, but I rarely use it, as it’s an on-the-go light, not an at-home light.
At home, there’s the Cometa for pretty much everything. WK30 for snooping around in red/UV. bobofett to burn down “dead” alkaleaks when tailstanding. DC7 for when I want/need lots of oomf outside and moonlight or thereabouts when I don’t. I don’t even use my SP10 anymore and that was hella useful with F/L/M in the main rotation and H as “turbo”.
I emptied out my bag so don’t even carry my Jet-II as a backup anymore, just the SP32Av2 in its holster.
Everything else I got is kinda extraneous at this point. Even nice lights like the TK15/TK18/C8anything/GTminimicronanopicofemtoatto/etc., I’m not likely to use because one or more lights I already have “out” could fill in.
Like I said, I’m kinda all flashlighted out. Pretty much got full coverage for whatever situation I’d encounter. Even my MT09R is loaded, but locked out. When do I “need” that over a DC7/Q8?
This for me too. I’m eagerly awaiting the new D80, then I plan (hope) to chill for a while.
I should get an Emisar, I’m probably one of the few that doesn’t have yet, but I’m thinking about getting a couple older ones fixed or upgraded, if that’s possible.
Sofirn SP10S ( still waiting for the Anduril version )
Fireflies E07
Maglite Solitaire Incandescent or something with incandescent bulb that is cheap ( that's correct, i just want to know what would be like getting a flashlight 30 years ago )
The only light on my list right now is the BLF LT.
Apart from that, I’m basically waiting for the next step up in high CRI LEDs, whether that’s availability of nicer tint bins or new parts with higher output efficiency.
I could be tempted by a really good flashlight / powerbank / Li-Ion charger combo, though, if it had 500lm - 800lm light output, a high CRI neutral white LED and a 5V / 3A USB output.
I’m not as much as a flashoholic as some of you guys so the range of lights I have now “enough”. From the 7 lights, the Sofirn SF14 to the Q8, I covered all the usable range.
I’ll be “excited” to see a 12-15,000 lumen version of a Q8 like light, but I think we need the next generation of LED’s to get there.
