I haven't a clue how much I spent this year, but it's a lot!

I had actually sold my entire SureFire collection some time last year (only retaining my Inova lights)... so every single SureFire I currently own has actually been purchased this year (and as a matter of fact, all of them within the last four months alone with the exception of my Inova InForce-Wh which was purchased during the earlier portion of the year).

1x SureFire HellFighter
1x SureFire Titan Titanium
1x SureFire PKEF-A5K
1x SureFire PKEF-B5K
2x SureFire A2L-RD
2x SureFire LX2
1x SureFire E2DL
1x Inova InForce-Wh
1x JiL LITE J2 (Pending S&H)

You do the maths (;

And I'm currently due to get at least one M3, one M3T and one M6 before the year ends along with one or two custom Ti lights available here.

I am afraid to do the math....you..you do it!

nada....being broke sure simplifies the decision making process

I didn't hit 3 grand................
I did spend enough to make me feel ill thinking about it.

how do you like the rc-c6?

Bought only 2 lights this year. My addiction is under much better control then other years that's for sure!

E2L and E1L. 2 of the best lights I've ever owned.

Total - $278
(but the year isn't quite over is it...)

Hopefully about $0. Sold most of the old stuff to pay for all the new stuff.
Spent less than $100 on the one knife I bought, too. I don't know how much I've spent in a year here before(plenty), but know I averaged over $300/month my first year on Bladeforums.
Getting all practical in my old age. 'Course it might have something to do with making about 12 grand less this year than the last few

It's great especially when having the extension tube. Can flood the whole room and throws very well. I think it out throw my P100a2. But when using flood, there is not much different from low and high. But when using tight focus, there is a big different from low and high.

As a student with only a part time job... Too much

Not including retail store and just online purchases somewhere around $2,500. Oh and thanks for asking so I had to look at my accounts from my dealers, oh boy.

I don't even want to know... :shakehead

+1...I'm with ya there...

Although selling off my Surefire collection did help justify a lot of the other lights I bought....I think of it as "Trading up"

I'd say my collection is 1/10th the size (or less) what it was this summer.:duh2:

I know what you mean!

I recently sold a few lights... all of the proceeds went into new lights or accessories :laughing:

I don't regret any of it though!
That is the important factor!

Simply too much! Let's see:

Lens Light + SF LX2 + used SF L5 + used SF KL5 + used SF KL3 + SF P60L = lovecpf

I also bought and swapped a NiteCore and a 4Seven with several accessories.


I hope the same question will not pop-up on my favorite watch forum as well.
