LED drop in storage?

How do you all store your extra drop ins for 6P style units? Are there containers made or just simple everyday items that hold extra drop ins?

I know SF makes the "Spares Carrier" but I'm thinking more bulk storage perahaps...:thinking:

Your thoughts or redirection is appreciated.

I use an empty 35mm film canister.

I use a organizing container for all of my batteries and drop-ins.

I like the clear containers the Lumens Factory drop-ins come with. They've got foam on either side. I wonder if you can buy them separately? Otherwise, ditto on the clear film canisters.

I just use the ziplock bags that all of mine have come in!

You can at the Lumens Factory in accessories section.

Currently I just use a spare small size Pelican case for my extra LED drop-ins and spare P90s in little bags as I don't generally keep swapping them around, but once I start using up my new Lumens Factory lamps I guess I'll start using their old containers. They're very nice for a lot of spare bits and pieces.

I uses these:



they are narrower than the film canisterand fit the slim tupperware I use for my surefire parts (what can I say I am a cheap guy0

chocolate around that yellow "canister", that contains some kind of toy.
Usually something to be assembled

(actually they are thinking of forbidding it, because its bad influence on kids that sweet and toy are connected in the same package)

Thank you very much.

:shrug: I just leave my unused drop-ins sitting in a drawer :shrug:

When it comes to storing extra flashlights, parts, and batteries, I'm a big fan of the Plano Stoaway boxes. They aren't your typical hard plastic (I think they are polypropylene), so they won't crack or break under normal conditions. Inexpensive and durable; they even make water resistant versions. If sharp things are your fancy, they are also great for storing small pocket knives. Cheers.
