I'm currently at 4 with one on the way. They are a surefire 110 lumen backup, a coast led lenser p7, and a couple other cheap coast led lensers. The one on the way is a hds rotary
How many flashlights do you own?

My guess is about 35. My latest couple are a Zebralight SC600 and my HDS rotary arrived just yesterday! Wooot!
Seems to be about the amount of lights I own. Twenty of these are of good or excellent quality, the rest is budget or old Maglites. My latest couple (this month) are the JETBeam E3S (stainless steel) and Fenix LD15.

I have 2.
2 many.
I try to justify this with things like: "I need this light because someone will want a holster made for it." But then it get's difficult when you have three of the same light. It also doesn't hold water when you send them to Milkeyspit to modify. I have very few lights under the $50 mark. I do sometimes go on major "weeding" campaignes and sell a bunch off in the Marketplace, but then like a cancer, the collection grows again.
Who can resist things like the 4 Sevens Turbo X or a NIB Pentagon light that hasn't been manufactured for years especially when you can put a Malkoff drop in in it?
I will say the only light I have that I don't use is a Pentagon that is still in the packaging. Some don't get used as often as others (Olight SR91) but that is a special purpose light, and while it does get used, it's just not as often as the others. I tend to rotate lights on my belt depending on what I'm doing. Most recently it's been a Pentagon X2 with a Malkoff M61w, Turbo X, and Milkeyspit Throwyboy. I often have a Nitecore NDI in a pocket as a backup, but there is always a Revo in my Leatherman pouch right next to the leatherman as the ultimate backup. Night hikes in the desert I'll have my S12 and/or the SR91. When on a search, I'll pack along the Tomohawk and a Zebralight H60W. The H60W gets used daily for leatherwork, and I have 3 H50's used for when cleaning firearms and in bug out bags. I like to keep all different battery types around just in case one particular battery type becomes hard to find in an emergency, but I keep a very large stock of CR123s on hand.

I only own two worth mentioning: Ra Clicky high CRI and a stainless steel Preon ReVO. The rest are the few Maglights that I've picked up over the years, and I really don't count those since they mostly just sit ignored in a drawer.

Exactly, the smallest AAA light around and it will be difficult to make a smaller AAA light with the same features.

I have about thirty, all Surefire except for one MD2 and a Maelstrom G5. I should probably thin the herd, though.... only about ten of them even have batteries in them. Mostly Surefire throwers and ones with Malkoff Drop-ins.

The best answer that I can give you is, "I don't know."
There are some that I keep. There are some that I lose. And then there are some that break, or get parted out. I also give some away to friends/family members. I have even given some away online for one reason or another. I even sell some now and then.
So, I really couldn't tell you how many that I own. *shrug*

I've gotta ask, did Klarus rip-off 4Sevens, or did 4Sevens rip-off Klarus?
