2* Star 20 flashlights, 2* Xtar 3100 may protected 18650 1* Star WP2 II charger a
L for £90 sourced in the uk, China may be cheaper but doubt you will get all this for this price in the UK from a flashlight shop buy the parts sepratly, I got a pretty decent deal on these XD,

Oh and 2 lockblock clones from fasttech that are very nicely made, and Two of the flashlight mounting bands for them also. Like Orings but diffrent shape.
 
Since I ordered it on December 28th but didn't receive it until January 2nd, I think it qualifies as the last purchase of 2013 and the first of 2014. A Fenix E05. Fantastic keychain light!
 
I have just ordered this: L3 Illumination L08 Cree Nichia 219 92CRI
It is a 1 x AAA light which I'm thinking of putting on my work key keyring.

I also ordered a Nitecore P12 a couple of days ago.

And I've ordered 4 new 18650 batteries to refresh my collection as my current batteries are now around 4 years old.

Then there is the new Zebralight SC600W MkII I'm considering buying as well as a Titanium Innovations Illumina light.
I hadn't bought anything for over 2 years and then in December I bought a Jetbeam RRT and now I keep seeing other lights I want.
 
Just batteries, a AW 18650 3400, & a couple of AW 16340's, I just hope the 18650 fits my new sc600w?

Fenix TK75 XML2 along with a Nitecore i4 charger. Also got 4 Ultrafire 18650 2400mah batteries. Hopefully it all gets here on Monday. This is my first big purchase after reading quite a bit on here. There are still many lights I would like to get but will have to wait.

You picked a Great torch, You won't be disappointed! I have one. I also have The I4[Three of them!]and they work well.

As for your choice of batteries[I am being honest], not a good choice. Any batteries with "Fire" at the end are suspect, inconsistent and a lot of time are recycled. I learned this from my lack of knowledge when I started.

I would[ a lot of others would have also] have recommended "Genuine Protected 3400 mAh Panasonic cells" which are made by several manufacturers.EX: Orbtronic, AW, Cytac, Eagletac and several others.

When choosing a powerful and awesome torch like the TK-75, getting lower quality batteries that MAY NOT have protection[you did not specify]and are often over rated in the mAh spec., can be dangerous and the run time will most likely be a lot lower than the cells I mentioned.

Good luck with everything, I hope it works out for you.:)
 
My first purchase will probably be a new headlamp, I'm thinking about the new one that FourSevens recently released. Ah, what the heck, I'm gonna go order it as soon as I am done here.
 
A used C2 to be bored by precision works, a TL65 and matching P60 interface, 4 efest IMR 18350s, 2 Kinoko IMR 18500s and 4 kinoko IMR 18650s. Probably the biggest single day order I've ever made....not a good start to the year lol.

I expect to talk myself into a L3 Illumination L10 any time now, but I did just order a chopper assembly part for the dishwasher and a Daisy Red Ryder for stinging those wascally squirrels.

I'm an old-school Surefire fan. I'd been meaning to pick up an E2L-AA Outdoorsman for awhile. Amazon has some of the older ones for substantially less than MSRP, and the Amazon gift card I got for xmas dropped that almost in half. It was time to take the plunge, and I'm not worried about the performance difference between it and the new version. I've also got plenty of eneloops to feed it with.
