Anyone else addicted to lights?

[MudPuppy]

That is a collection to make any light lover over the top.

I am partial to AA battery lights as they could be more accessible in an End of the world as we know it event.

You could be the founding father of Lights Aholic anonymous though

Many, many years ago it was mag lites, i think i had one of every model. now the lights i like are MUCH more expensive, lol

Wow, I am a sicker puppy than I thought. Of of curiosity, I just went through my desk drawers. I have four portable lights within arms' length of where I am right now.

I may need intervention!

OK, you asked for it... So instead of somehow getting all my lights into one place, I went around and got photos of most of my lights minus various duplicates and those hidden away in various loadouts.

First, a photo I took a few years ago showing most of my Surefire collection minus many duplicates.


A couple of the Newer Surefire LED's I actually thought were worth buying. Along with my current favorite general tac/duty light: Thrunite Scorpion V2 Turbo.


Various lights in my truck, missing a Petzl Myo headlamp lost in some deep corner though. Includes a beat up but no issue Olight M30 light that was my previous duty light, a franken SF with rechargeables, and a 4D maglight with a Malkoff Triple XPG drop in and LSD NiMH batteries that cost way more than the original light.


My daily EDC bored out 6Z running 18650 rechargeables and a Thrunite XM-L LED. Along with a couple other lights that were nearby.


Pic in the safe of various weaponlights, all mostly SF converted to LED.


AA backup lights backed up with lots of charged Eneloops.


Various sized "tactical" lights from Malkoff, Olight, Sunwayman, Fenix and Thrunite. All have various levels but are still easy to use, well for me at least!


Cool dive light with both flood and throw LED sets and various levels.


And to finish off, my old pre-ban duty light outfitted with a custom Malkoff dual P7 LED head giving off 900 lumens for 90 minutes. Even though huge by today's standards I wish I could still carry it...


In my defense, CA has stupid AW laws which have prevented me from spending much money on anything good since 2001. Well, maybe that's not such a good defense but this thread is about light collections so I might as well show where I am coming from when I spout off my opinions on this forum.

At first I didn't think I was addicted to lights, then I stopped and thought about it. I own a TLR1s, a TLR2s, 2 Streamlight Stylus lights, one red one white, a Streamlight Nano, Fenix TK10, and a Pelican M1. And of course the prerequisite 3 mags lights laying around the house with their battery perpetually dead.

Of course its not as bad as a friend of mine, he is addicted to gloves, I think he has a good 12 pairs.

Nice collection Dennis

And here I am thinking I'm big pimping with 2 Surefire X300s and an A2 Aviator. lol

Nice collection Dennis

Less a "collection" and more an inability to not purchase any new lights that fit my usage criteria.

I have a few lights. Nothing special.

Microfire TL2 Explorer
Jetbeam TC-R2 (2)
Sunwayman VR10Ti
Quark 123^2 Tactical

I like the adjustable intensity lights with bezels.

Have probably given away more lights than I currently have.


What I have left:

SF LX2
SF M952
SF E2L
SF 6P
Jetbeam RRT-0
EagleTac M3C4
Solarforce L2P
Olight T20
FirstLight tomahawk NV
TLR-1s
Plus a whole bunch of other small budget lights.


I need to get more Solarforce lights, IMO they are some of the best bang for the buck P60 drop in hosts.
