I'm not really. Living in rural Idaho, being prepared is what we do. Back in the 90's, power outages were an issue due to weather, accidents, etc. Things are much better now but we started with oil lamps, candles, and some 3 Dcell Maglites and Mini-Mags.
As a father's day gift many years ago, I received a Night-Ops Gladius which was, then, a SOTA flaslight with strobe and 80 Lumens!. Runs as well today as then. A couple years later, I was made aware of the Fenix E01 AAA flashlight and bought a few to put in our daypacks in the RV as we were traveling with young kids (I had a 4 AA cell headlamp from REI that struggled to keep up with the E01). That made me buy a couple new headlamps for camping (a Princeton Tec Aurora 3 AAA) and a newer Petzl with runs on a couple 2032 batteries). Both work well enough still to not upgrade.
Fast forward to ChiVi. What with toilet paper shortage (seriously?), I started assessing our supplies and wandered back onto EDC and flashlight forums (and YT). The short of it is, I bought a bunch more small flashlights to scatter about the house (the new Fenix E01 V2 x3, the E05 x3, E12 x2, a pair of Olight i3T EOS, and a couple more bought and returned. I recently got the super new Streamlight ProTac 90x USB to replace my old Gladius and it now rests on my nightstand. Brilliant tactical light but a little awkward for EDC with my wardrobe. I also bought a pair of Nitcore Tube V2 flashlights for my keychains for a couple vehicles. I had an original Tube for years that was a freebie and I've been impressed with it's durability and performance. Lastly, I just yesterday received the free ($5 shipping) Olight i1R keychain flashlight and am really impressed with it.
So yes, I've bought 12-15 flashlights recently but all the tech-speak on the forums interests me not at all. I just am impressed with how far the technology has come over the past 10 or so years. Most of my power comes from Eneloops, Duracell alkalines, and CR123 lith-ion batteries (which are used in the old Gladius and a couple gunlights). I also dipped my toe into a box of Energizer lith-ion AAA batteries for the little flashlights in the daypacks due to their long shelflife and claimed ability to not leak (I lost an E01 to a leaked Kirkland battery when we made the mistake of trying their alkalines.
Oops, forgot to add the Feit 4-pack of small *tactical* lights I impulsively bought at Costco. At the net cost of $7.25 each for a 500/300 lumen light with a focusable beam, I took a flyer. For around the house, they're pretty good. Weird design choice (a cradle to hold 3 AAA batteries instead of a couple CR123's or a AA's?)
