Name the most number of a single model flashlight that you own.

7 Coast HP7 lights. One of each model in available color(s).

Woulda been 9 but the pair of LED Lenser-Coast HP 7's I bought online were stolen property and ended up becoming confiscated by the US gov't.

Now I did not know that when I bought them.

But tbh I do not know how many mini mags I have. I started to say 10, but remembered the one in the garage, the one in my briefcase and all those aaa ones...15? 20?... I prefer the incan with drop ins.


Wait, just remembered a couple more mini mags....

Those HP7s are nice. I don't have one of them, but I do have an HP5 which was my first focusable LED light (I had lots of Maglite incans before that). Since then I've acquired a few more such as a LensLight KO Ti, an MBI HF-R Ti with the large optic head, and some cheap Chinese made Sipiks which actually aren't too bad for the price. I also have a DEFT-X, which, although not adjustable focus, is famous for its highly focused, long thrower type of beam.

Quite a lineup of Ku's and Veleno's you have there. I have one of each but don't have all the trit colors you have. About the only thing I don't see is a Dogbone.

I know.
So, sell me yours.

LOL

I knew you were going to say that.

I knew you were going to say that.

And the Ottavino damascus 10280.

2 D cell Maglites , 4 AAA ARC lights.

 

[mcbrat]

awesome thread....

I'm up to 16 EDC series variations from a certain maker now...

and I have all the different materials of the Pico Pull holders from CountyComm... nothing in them, just have all of them

sort of like all the different colors I have of the "Really Useful Boxes" containers...

 

[magellan]

I like the CountyComm holders as well. And Oveready. Will post a photo of my brass holders when one order I'm waiting for comes in as I'll have some new dupes.

2 - Fenix LD01 (bought the 2nd one after they upgraded the LED and got rid of the PWM)

 

[LedTed]

Nice trit work on the tails. Who did that?

Stock (slot), local (slot), JHanko (box)

 

[wedlpine]

Trying to figure out how to stop.

6 Spy007's

5 Spy Tri-V's

Wish I had your problems. :twothumbs

I think I might have a dozen Defiant Super Throwers that I picked up on clearance one day.
I also have about a dozen Rayovac Indestructible 2AA in Realtree camo that I also picked up on clearance.

 

[bykfixer]

^^ I've yet to see a camo indestructable. But if I do that'll be my 3rd one of the 2aa model. If they're on clearance maybe 4 n 5 as well.

The HP7 hunt was what got me acquiring flashlights for collecting Magellan...that and your collection.

2AA Maglite have 7 and have given many as gifts through the years most have now been converted to LEDs

^^ those AA mags are hard to beat.

I started buying those back when the incan version was $19, because they were USA made flashlights that fit in small places, had decent output (at the time) and always turned on.

I also had a slew of that size light from the now defunct A&N store. I did like the clicky to go with the mag type focus beam. Fast forward a decade or two and all are gone but one of those. They either died, fell out of a boat, or just disappeared. Then the LED thing took over and the mini mag incan was only $9 (or less) and still USA made. So I kept on that track for several years.

But then I discovered the HP7 and CPF.
It's been downhill since.

Time to go see if I can find that A&N light....

 

[swampgator]

Most of my light collection consists of Mags...

4 2C
3 3D
3 2D
2 4D
1 3C

And about a half dozen Mini Mags and Solitaires. A few are LEDs while the rest are Incans. All are users. No safe queens for any of my lights.

 

[RickZ]

.... and what is the deal with this obsession?

I started collecting the incandescent Maglite solitares back in the 90s. I liked the little size and the fact they were higher quality and can be used for a keychain light. I didn't even realize the flashoholic symptoms back then, but yes, I had a problem. :sweat:

So that model is the one that I own the most of. I have like 7 of them. We are talking 14 beautiful lumens combined!!!!! WoW !!

Then I found this forum and everything changed. So I've added extensively to my collection and I think my runner up is the Fenix E05 ... I have 3 blackies and 2 stainless. 3rd place goes to the Sunwayman C20C .... 4 of them.

I figure if one is good, 4,5,6 or 7 is better!! :touche: Am I right??


You ??

I know this is a different angle, but I own 20 rayovac value bright 2xAAs in stash for emergencies. They tend to be much less likely to flicker than their only (pricwise) store bought competitor, the dreaded triple triple A multi led lights. Each light was bought in pairs, I've collected them over a few months, to save up for emergencies. Some I've gotten for 40¢, others, for free. They all come with batteries. And I'm buying more. Planning on stopping at an even number based on multiples of 24 (packs of AAs. I test each one and return when they seem to be under spec, I don't mess around, when their batteries are under powered, I return the whole thing for exchange to save money. Since I work at Wal-Mart, there is no extra trip. A few of those twenty are larger d versions, but not enough more expensive to notice. I can "loan" them at will in an emergency, be the cool kid on the block, and not stress when people "forget" to return them. A project I have already done with 5 lights before, and then only 4 came back. There are family and friend situations where giving flashlights away for free is also nice.

 

[magellan]

Those Ray O Vacs are great.

I still have half a dozen of the original Pelican MityLite 2xAA lights from over 30 years ago in the original Krypton bulb version that still work.

 

[bykfixer]

Looks like the PK FL 2 LE is creeping up on my 'most of' lights...

 

[rugbymatt]

Kind of always liked the Arc's

I'm a small-timer compared to many of you (esp. those customs), but SureFire L1's are my thing; 4 of the 6 L-series below:
