*Updated thru post #84, 16-Mar-11*

A little "Social Project" I'm doing here...just wanna see a few numbers...

How many SF's do we own collectively as a community?

What's the most owned model?

What are the most popular SF's?

All you have to do is post a "list" of your SF's; Model/Make/Finish/SN. Lego's can count as long as the BODY is SF. Also post your top 3. Make a guess as too how many you think we have collectively. 3,000? 5,000? 10,000?

If you're worried about posting your "holdings" to the broader community, shoot me a PM. I'll do several spreadsheets and start posting "numbers" in the second post once I start getting numbers rolling in.

SF may be interested in knowing how many lights of theirs are in our hands???

Like I said, this is just a fun social experiment...thanks for taking the time to post!

*I'LL BE ADDING THE TOP 3 LIGHTS SOON*

(These numbers are better than polls, as they're unbiased, and the old addage "The Numbers Don't Lie")

*******************************************

Updated up to post #84, 0055hrs(EST), 16 Mar 11.

*******************************************

Well, here it is so far..E-Series still maintains the lead, and P takes the lead from L and C for second. L takes 3rd, G 4th, and C gets pushed all the way back to 5th (numbers wise, not %)

I thought P-Series would've led the way, but am rather surprised that there's SO many MORE E-series. I thought the A-Series would've been a bit less popular as well. ???

*********************************

HOWEVER,

The 6Pis nowthe single most popular light, bumping down the C2 too second, followed by...THE G2! :drool: Where's all you C2-HA Fans?

BUT, the C2 count DOES NOT include the L5/M2 (same body format...and I know for one, my C2 has a KL5 on it, essentially making it a L5...)

-What do you all think...fair to count the M2/L5 as C2's? 90% of the M2's/L5's probably have Z44's and a Malkoff in them???

(Note, I went ahead and compounded the basic models to give a more accurate "tale". G2/G2Z=Different Lights; 6P/6PL=Same light)

C2: 42 (includes C2/C2L)
-L5 and M2: 11ea., which would put the "C2" body style above the 6P
G2: 38 (includes G2/G2L)
6P: 50 (includes 6P/PL/PD)
A2: 28 (includes all colors, but NOT the A2L)

(Note, the C2 qty. DOES NOT include the L5 and M2!)

*********************************

*Most popular OF a series*

E-Series: E2E (E1B in second)
C-Series: C2
P-Series: 6P
G-Series: G2
M-Series: M6 takes the lead breaking a 10 to 10 tie with the M3, and now stands at 11
Z-Series: Z2
L-Series: L1 (Accounts for 50% of L-Series...Whoa!...what happened to the L4 "Wall of Light"???)
-LX2 is in 2nd and makes up 25% of "our" L-Series lights. Pretty good considering there's 7 models
Misc: U2 followed by the T1A (Where's all the Kroma owners??? It really is an awesome light...)

************************************

Approx. 446 SF's among 52 members posting.

The numbers in parentheses at the end (i.e. +2) show the change in percentage since the last update

By series: (Note; L4's are counted as "L" series even though they are essentially "E" Series. If you think this would skew that data or purpose of this, let me know. Also, M2's are counted as "M" and not "C", and several others instances)

E-74; 20% (+2)
C-39; 11% (-2)
L-43; 11% (-2)
P-48; 13% (+1)
G-40; 11% (+1)
A-28; 7% (- 2)
M-40; 11% (+2)
OTHER-36; 9%
Z-15; 4% (+1)

Cells:
1 Cell: 15%
2 Cell: 57% (No surprise)
3 Cell: 9% (Thought there would've been a few more of these)


Incan
-50% (+1)
LED
-41% (+3)

HA(Nat)
-45% (-3)
Bk (HA/Type II/Nit)
-28% (+3)

After years of telling myself I really ought to back it up, my spreadsheet with all the information on my lights seems to have vanished into the ether. So, I don't have all the detailed information on specific quantities/finishes/SNs of each model, but I know the grand total was 119 last time I checked.

Should my top three be my favourite users? Or my three favourite "collection pieces"?

I really don't have a clue how many SureFires there might be in the hands of CPF members. Perhaps 2,500-3,000? I'm no good at guessing games :eek:

Thanks for all the entries so far eveyone! Getting a list up right now. If you could (especially with the G-Series and C-Series, if you could include the color (Black/OD/Yellow, etc.)

Thanks again...I think some very surprising info will come out of this!

@ Tempest/Redled...

I completly understand...why do you think my list isn't up yet???

I'm also dreading Al's and DaFab's, and Dimerazorbacks list!

Tempest, as far as your faves, just list your most used. When it comes to "favorites", consideration may be given towards rarity, more than utility.

My most used are my E2L-AA, E2L, and a C2.
