I Have TOO Many Flashlights

I made a WTS thread, I don't know how many years ago. I sold something like 50 lights in one lot. I still have too many lights. I have a couple of storage containers with lights that I don't think I've used for a couple of years.
Oh thank goodness! I thought I might realistically own more lights than any other member. I legit feel better now. Thank you.

I have the 2AA and 2D versions of that one you have. Snap-On/Blue Point put a lot of effort into flashlight branding in the '80s. Got custom models from GT Price and Legend that had company markings instead of the factory OEM branding. Other outfits like Mac Tools and Matco just settled for having their logos engraved in decorative places. You see that mostly on Mag-Lites but they did some other brands too like Sigmalite.
Legend was open to brand partnerships. Lots of Eddie Bauer models, some Brookstone versions, etc. Probably more I haven't seen.

Got that covered! hehe
And no wife to answer to. Good and bad, obviously.
...Mostly good.
Hehe Probably so....Mostly good.

My Better 3/4s and I have been married for 39 years. Marrying her was the best decision I ever made. However, marriage should never be entered without much consideration. It's like that sigh on the Alaskan highway—choose your rut carefully; you'll be in it for the next 200 miles.
I have a 2xAA model branded with FORD, featuring cobalt blue anodizing. Excellent performance from the light, better than many 2xAA's even today.
Years ago my wife gifted me several lights, all good-to-excellent choices. I was impressed by her novice selections. I later learned that instead of ordering online, she called the merchants I regularly order from directly and got expert advice on which light to buy. Clever girl. 👍Does anyone else have someone who gives you flashlights?
These were all gifts.

I haven't figured out how to turn the wrench on. However, it has my name on it, so that's cool.

Too many flashlights, ya saaay. 🤨
The new Java MXS is one of only very few that I've felt kinda silly purchasing.
Justification:
1. My Java collection wouldn't be complete without it.
2. I'm a self admitted Foursevens fanboi, and therefore conduct myself as such.
2b. Supporting them is a win win situation.
3. Dammit! A man needs a hobby.
3b. It was 25% off.

Yep, I see it clearly... you're not addicted, you can quit buying more lights any time. Yep, any time. 😁

Hi, my name's Dave, and it's been 45 days since I bought my last flashlight. 😱
