Yesterday I went on a road-trip with my girlfriend to the Irazú volcano and I took these:

I may have a problem...

I've been lurking around on this forum for a while, and decided I should finally register.

I don't know what all to say about myself, so feel free to ask about anything I don't cover in this rambling of a post.

I don't know when it all started. I vaguely remember looking for a light to carry, and ended up with a Xenon Dorcy. Soon after, I wanted something a little better and smaller. I then went with an Inova X1. I wasn't happy with it, so for some reason I went bigger with the Inova X2. The problem I have with their lights is the horrible tail cap design. Somehow or another, I stumbled across the Nitecore PD series of lights. I did some research, and ended up ordering the EX10 with a GD+ from 4Sevens. I've carried it ever since, and it's pretty much exactly what I was looking for in an EDC light. It's leaps and bounds better than the Inovas, and with the pocket clip I can barely even tell I am carrying it.

I just picked up a Quark 123 Turbo X to add to the lights I already have. I am currently running it on the included 4Sevens 123s, but will probably order some 17670s for it. I will probably also order the deep carry clip, and find a good way to add it to my EDC items. I'll have to report back on this later.

In addition to the EX10, these are the other items I EDC:

Now, on to the worst part of this sickness. A while back I was looking for a nice, inexpensive lantern to use for camping. I kept reading about a River Rock lantern that was supposed to be the chiz. I looked everywhere for it, but with no luck. Well, apparently it had been discontinued. I ended up going with a Rayovac fluorescent lantern as I was in a hurry and it seemed the best option. I will also need to add that I am a sub-contractor and carry a 2C cell light and headlight in my work bag. In my search for these lights, I stumbled across the Sportsman Xtreme line from Rayovac. They are some of the best inexpensive lights I have ever used. So much so that I couldn't let a good thing disappear. I didn't want to be looking for one, and find out that they had been discontinued like the River Rock lanterns. So, like any smart man, I used the experience with the River Rock lantern and would buy them whenever they were cheap or would go on sale. They even had a lantern which replaced the fluorescent one I had bought. Needless to say, I guess I would always get to the store at the right time...

In addition to the ones in the picture, I also have a 2C cell and headlight in my work bag, and a 2AA in each car. That makes a total of six 2C, three of the smaller 3AAA, ten 2AA, four lanterns, and three headlights. You can never have too many lights, right? I should also add that I have a whole supply of batteries ready to feed these things, if needed.

Here are some of the other lights I have, or may not have, mentioned.

So, there you have it.

Some that I had here at this house:

The ones that are missing are in "duty" in my car or at my other house and a very important one is arriving from HK

HTC is there as it has a big led flash that works as flashlight if I want.

Awesome collection and great images! The DOF is so shallow on some of these; what aperture f/1.2 ?

:thumbsup:

Hi, Rich !! Thanks so much for your kind words

I've completely reprioritized my collection towards EDC-sized lights because they end up being the only ones I ever use, while the big ones sit on my desk.

Highly impressed with the Jet-1 PRO V3.0, the warm tint and smooth reflector coupled with a 14500 make this light have identical output/tint to my old Malkoff M60W / Surefire C2 combo, except with MORE throw...in a small AA-sized light. Perfect.

The Surefire/Vital Gear E1E/FB1 combo is tiny and a great EDC light. Despite how far LED technology has come, incan still reigns supreme in my mind.

Without further ado:

List:

• Jetbeam Jet-1 PRO V3.0 (warm-tint, smooth reflector)

• Peak Kino Bay SS P4

• LRI Proton Pro (newest version)

• Jetbeam E3S

• Novatac Storm

• Surefire/Vital Gear E1E/FB1 (stock bulb)

• Fenix E01 (with red chapstick cap filter for night-adapted, ultra low output light)

• Arc-P AAA

Not pictured:

• Romisen RC-29 II NW (providing 100% of the photos lighting)

• 4Sevens Preon Revo Stainless Steel S2-emitter

• Inova X5 Titanium (white)

• KD Buckle AAA

• Mag 2D Aspherical
