Post your special duplicates!

Okay, sort of an odd idea for a thread, but one that brings together diverse lights. So post 'em here! Here are some of mine:
.

Back row, left to right:

3 JetBeam TC-R10's

2 Download Pocket Rockets (1 NW and 1 CW)

2 Tain Zeniths

2 JetBeam TM R2's

Front row, left to right:

2 Steve Ku 40 DD, one with bead blast finish

2 Modamag Drakes

2 Photon Fanatic DLC coated Double Gooved lights

2 Photon Fanatic natural finish Double Grooved lights

2 JetBeam TC R1's

2 Xeno Cubes, one natural and the other matte finish

Veeeeeery niiiiiiiiiiiice! Looks like u have duplicates and triplicates! What a collection.

Thanks!

I have a few more so will be posting another photo shortly when I get them together.

This thread will only prove some you are a true Flashaholic and perhaps slightly mentally off! KMSL!!

Two Tain Zeniths! Seriously cool.

good idea mag, I thought you had some Coo Yoo dupes too??

I think the Jetbeam R10s don't get the love they deserve.

You're right about those R10s, Str8, they're both awesome and underrated.

And how about a little Incan luv? I like the beautiful red, green, blue, and rainbow anodizing on these.

Top row, left to right:

3 Gordon/Greatlite 3xD & 2xAA combo packs
2 Snap-On Tools 2xD
And a hardware store special 2xD labelled "Rubber Torch"

Bottom row, left to right:

5 Maglite Spectrum series 3xD
2 Maglite jade green 3xD
And another green Mag 3xD (not sure of the official color, since there were several greens, but somewhat darker than the jade so similar but not really a dupe)

Yes, I'm a sick puppy for sure.

About the CooYoo's, you're right, I have the complete series plus a couple of dupes (the brass and copper ones) so I should post a photo of those just to show the complete set along with the dupes.

There's a funny story about the two Zeniths. I bought one, forgot about it, and then a while later bought another as I had purchased a lot of lights around that time and didn't remember I'd already bought one. Then I found the earlier one that I'd forgotten, which was like Xmas in the middle of the year.

A bit of interesting LED light history here, showing my Novatacs. The company isn't around anymore, but many of us still luv our Novatacs.

I'm still in the market for the rare gold one, so if you have one and are willing to part with it, let me know. There was one up for sale on the old Marketplace a long time ago but the seller never responded to my post.

Middle row: 5 Novatac 120P models

Here are some pics I may have posted before but they kind of fit the theme, variations of dupes!!

Last one. Unfortunately, most of these are no longer in my possession but love the pic.
I once had a nice dupe collection of 27 McGizmos.

Top row:
-LS27
-S27 in aluminum

My 27 collection is now down to 3. 1 LS27, the 27LT and a Aqua Mule, some of my favorite designs ever! Others would of course be the ION/Aeon and the Hyperlux/SuperFlashlight.

Great thread idea magellan!!!
Sweet coloction of Novatacs. There are still a few new ones out there if you look, usually the tan variation. I wanted to pick up a gold one way back but those are hens teeth now!!
Look forward to an updated ION shot from you!!

Awesome collections! Thanks for posting those.

Luv the 27's and CR2's especially, also the K.I. splash. Mine is just the standard version.

I'm going to post some similar photos too as I have a few similar groups of lights that are more like variations on a theme.

I really like the Novatacs too and always liked the fine but aggressive knurling and how it handled.

Okay, moving into the bigger lights, a few of my "pop can" or "fireplug" lights:
.

From left to right, two Niwalker Nova MiniMax15vn Fiat Lux, one with the handle, one domed and the other dedomed, an Eagletac MX25L3 and a MX25L3vn version, also domed and dedomed versions, and just for fun, shown with Vinh's recent Tk75vn77 20,000 lumen 7xXHP70 monster on the far right.

Glad you enjoyed the thread!

Here's some dupe copper goodness:
.

.
Back row, left to right:

5 Maratac AAA (1 rev. 1, 1 rev. 2, & 3 rev. 3)

2 Sinner Cypreus hosts with piston drives

2 MBI HF-R

Front row, left to right:

3 Lumintop copper Worms (1 showing patina & 1 with quick release)

5 Maratac CR123A (1 rev. 1 & 4 rev. 2)

Ooo I want to know more about the Sinner with piston drives. How does it work?

I haven't decided on a drop in so the lights aren't finished yet but the piston action is very good with a little friction if you don't push exactly straight in. I assume the buttons are stainless steel. I don't know if it's a reverse or forward type switch. I can post a photo of the back end of the light later today if that would help.

Okay, not exactly dupes but a related series like luxlunatic's.

A bit of incan history here. Four pre-Maglite Vari-Beams. These were only sold thru industrial suppliers.

From left to right, a 3xD, 4xC, 3xC, 2xC.

Well, at least I know I'm not the only sick person here. :green: :duh2: :sweat:

I end up finding something I really like then buy 3 or 4 of them just in case the factory owner dies and they shut down, a plane crashes into the factory and the original blueprints burn up, they change the design and add a built in toothpick dispenser, world war III breaks out and the factory is converted into a boot factory or it is discovered what a great item it really is and the price goes through the roof!

I'll post some of mine later on when I get them together for a photo shoot.

Nice lights indeed!

Absolutely amazing collection magellan:twothumbs, stunning lights..................love the variety too
