Show your nightstand flashlight!

[19jacobob93]

Mine is a vintage Chinese Tiger Head 2D/2.4v incandescent. I love the old school design plus the light it throws out is very mild so I can read without waking up my girlfriend. I grew up in the 90s/2000s watching mostly 60s-90s shows so I became obsessed with these older designs!
I actually imported roughly 30-40 vintage flashlights and dozens of spare incandescent bulbs, all different sizes/voltages, which were mostly new old stock found in Chinese warehouses from the 60s up to the early 2000s. I'll share my collection on here soon!

Not a night stand but a step away from my bed. this is just some of them. My wife limits how many I can keep in the bedroom. Dusty too

What is a nightstand ? Like a tripod or some 'floodlight' support device ?

A night stand is usually a stand or small table with drawers next to your bed that has a lamp and maybe an alarm clock on it.

Ah… bedside table in British English

I was imagining a stand like a Tripod you mounted the light on to make it in to a work light/ floodlight

My bedside table is like many a dumping spot for pocketable items 😅

The "I voted" stickers on the lamp shade really adds to the overall decor. 👍

Hey Scott! So good to see you again. I hope you and the family are safe and well. I still have a couple of your creations going just as strong as the day I got them from you. Thank you Scott!

A new, Maelstrom MXS Standby. It stands ready in its charging station. If the power source is curtailed, the light automatically comes on to its lowest setting.

GREA! Now I gotta dust.

@Chauncey Gardiner I like your lamp base, is it art deco? How about posting a pic of the whole lamp?

I will take a photo of my night stand light when I get home from my OT shift. Its a golden oldy!

 

[rwolfenstein]

Here is my golden oldie. It's a Surefire G2 Nitrolin flashlight with a factory P60Led bulb and a factory B65 battery extension to make it rechargeable. It's old but it works just fine.

Um.............I actually have 7 flashlights on my night stand...currently.

Two AAA Maglites.....one I purchased as an LED...the other one I modded with an LED
A 2D Maglite [light green] with a Malkoff LED mod.
An Energizer 6AA Flashlight that has 3 LEDs [that I forget the name of]
A Jetstream RRT01 Raptor
A Nitecore EA4
A Nitecore SRT9

The first three aren't used much at all. The EA4 isn't really used either [and currently for sale]. The Jetstream and SRT9 are the ones I use.

Nice nightstand collection. How about some photos of them?

Hold please........

Oops.......I forgot about the Emisar that's magnetically stuck to my gun safe, next to my night stand.....

Nice! I like seeing some of the old favs still in service. I still have a couple of the SRT series and an RRT-0 Raptor. Also some LED Maglites, Surefire's, Milky creations, ZebraLights, and a Rotary HDS 200 from Henry.

 

[Orion]

OMG...I recognize some of those. Blast from the past for sure! Nice collection!

The thing I like about the Nitecore [magnetic ring infinite output] lights, for nightstand duty, is the ability to have very low light, rather than too bright for the purpose. That Energizer flashlight, for example, turns on FULL bright on the click every time. And it is super bright, for a store purchased light.

I have a few modified Maglite flashlights in my apartment. One gray colored 3D with some sort of drop-in...that I don't recall where I got it. That sits next to my front door. But in my gun safe, I keep a copper colored Maglite, 2D, that has a 36 Fusion drop-in. It's my favorite of most of my flashlights because of the rare copper coloring.

I used to have a lot bigger collection but kinda paired down to my favorites and the ones I use the most. First pic is the oldest, second one is my collection now minus a couple not in the photo, and third and fourth is my latest acquisition.

I have a copper coloured MagLite. I wish I could find more and not the rise gold ones.
