I'd have no problem IDing it. But I'm keeping it too.I typically go to the men's restroom at the beach and slide a flashlight under the partition into the next stall. If they can identify the model I know I've found a bro.

Mine are a historical collection, so no. I have a few modern flashlights I use all the time.Question for all the folks with 300+ lights: do you keep batteries in them?
Oh Hell no!Question for all the folks with 300+ lights: do you keep batteries in them?
Some, yes. The 100-ish year old antiques generally have enough parasitic drain that when I want to use them the battery's are dead so no, not in those anymore.Question for all the folks with 300+ lights: do you keep batteries in them?
I wish I lived in Star Island, although I have invested a lot of $$$ in my collection in not up to the Star Island's upper status.Can I visit you in your massive mansion on Star Island? 🙂
letschat7 many of the flashlights are put away in storage boxes in a closet, those that I like to see them more often because they are some of my favorite lights, I actually keep in a large glass case and I also have two small wall mounted display cases which are typically used for Schott glasses and I used them to display the smaller Surefire lights.I now have over 100 lights and barely can store them. I'd like to see how you do it with five times as much.
I love squirrels and spend a lot of time watching and photographing them (and other wild things). I'd really enjoy doing that, but then I recall the time a little flying squirrel in KY had me taking rabies shots every day for 14 days after just a tiny nip on a finger that didn't really even hurt. That said, I was young and stupid and I did try to catch the little thing with my hands, so I deserved it. If I was him, I'd have done the same thing. Now I just watch and photograph them.For a time, we were hand-feeding a couple of squirrels from one of our kitchen windows
LOL... And the worst part of the trip was that it was UP HILL BOTH WAYS!I knew I had a problem when the tracking said my shiney new SureFire EDCL 2T had been delivered so I left an evening meeting at work drove 50 miles in a snow storm,
Thats me with a Streamlight Scorpion and Cast Away!You may be a flashoholic if you find yourself cranking down the room temperature, crawling under a blanket and fidgeting with a light or two while watching X-Files reruns and Sleepy Hollow for the heavy shadows and dark scenes because you miss the best flashlight season of all - those gloomy Fall evenings.
I was taking a shower and a breaker tripped in my house, making the restroom go dark. While my kids yelled about the power loss, I wordlessly reached out of the stall, over to the flashlight on the counter, switched it on, and ceiling bounced the light. Finished the shower with no delay.From my experience last night:
If the power goes out suddenly and without any foreshadowing, and you're the first to deploy a flashlight, you just might be a flashaholic.
I know I was. Only took me like 15 seconds because I was expecting the power to blink back on.
Unfortunately it was only a 2min blackout followed by a 20s one. I felt cheated.
About a year ago, for some reason my daughter and I swapped cars, so she had my keys, and I, hers. I was in a walmart, when the power went out. I was disappointed that when I reached for my keys, with my EDC, it wasn't there in my pocket. Darn, I lost the opportunity to show the world how I was prepared!From my experience last night:

Don't you hate it when that happens?About a year ago, for some reason my daughter and I swapped cars, so she had my keys, and I, hers. I was in a walmart, when the power went out.

To my amazement, it would not have impressed anyone, because every other person had switched their cell phone flashlight app on. I didn't even know where my flashlight app was. I have since moved it to my front screen. I have used it a few times.
I guess it was within five minutes that the power returned.
