Why do I like Don’s flashlights, and why do I have so many?
The short answer is that it is an addiction.
I like the McLux I TK because it is one of Don’s earlier designs, and shows a lot of aesthetic sensibility in a simple design of ordinary materials. It is one of my favorites. I very much...

Your comments about being supportive of one another in a community ring true to me, and caused me to think further on this subject.
I still think in general it is not wrong to take advantage of the laws of supply and demand for nonessetnial items, including in the sale of highly prized...
In my view, in a free economy there is nothing wrong with profiting from having an item in short supply and high demand, unless it is a necessity of life such as food and medicine. Flashlights are not in that type of necessities category. On the other hand, I always appreciate someone who...

I added a few more photos at the top part of the first thread, and at the very bottom I added a photo of a Pelican 1495 case. The Pelican case is a new case that I think works really well to store flashlights, although the case is somewhat large (but not too...
I have had some difficulty taking decent photos of titanium flashlights. The metal is so reflective of light that my photos often had overly bright areas and overly dark areas.
