Duplicate Lights

[Ian2381]

I just realized whenever I got a light I like I eventually got another one, for backup maybe or to give away as gift to someone important to me.
I know I could have bought a more expensive light out of these duplicates but I really use these lights and wanted to have a backup if I lost or kill the light.

Guilty... do it all the time, my Wife says it's a Gemini thing... :)

I'm also a Gemini. I just bought a spare Surefire C2 a week after getting my first C2.

Me too:

2 x Gladius
2 x Nitecore D10
2 x EagleTac P10A

Sometimes these are for backups, and sometimes to try out different variants - for example, the Gladii are modded one with an XP-G and one with an XM-L, and one of the D10s is a Q5 classic, and one a hybrid with the XP-E R2.

These lights are all out of production, so that's another reason for keeping a spare - just in case one of them stops working or I lose one.

I try to get at least 2 of any light I really like.:thumbsup:It can be a little frustrating at times as some of the lights I want are special run and sell out fast.:( Honestly I would prefer to have 4-6 each of my favorites but I don't always have the funds:broke:

I've got a bunch of Fenix E01s because they are so cheap, reliable, and have a great runtime. I also have 2 Quark AA^2s to use around the house as candles during power outages (1 warm, 1 cool white). Other then that I try not to have exact duplicates.

I would like to be able to buy multiple lights of my favorites, but really can't afford it if I also want other lights. I do buy AA an 123 versions of lights I like (SC51w & SC30w, QMiNi AA & QMiNi 123, Olight T10 & T15). I also have 4 E01's now (and one for my gf), because these are cheap and practically indestructible.

So far I've avoided doing this, though I wish I had a spare LF2XT. I'd rather save my bucks for something newer, better, and sometimes cheaper. Maybe this is a Libra thing.

Same here, starthere. I don't want to pay for another of the same light when I could put that money toward a different light in the future instead. I guess I'm not much of a collector.

 

[Lighteous]

Because I have a seemingly insatiable appetite for variety in my lights, I've never bought a second light of the same kind. However, while I have an aluminum version LD01 I'm thinking of getting a stainless steel version, but it would have a different emitter as well as being made from different material. That's not really the same thing, right?
