What do you guys do when you think you have to many lights and you would like to get more but cant justify spending more cash? Do you sell them or just keep adding and spending?
I think I need more lights, but my spouse would beg to differ. Fortunately my lights all pretty much look alike to her. As long as I don't keep them all in one spot, they tend to blend into the background. So, sorry... I guess I'm not much help [emoji1]
I'll add... I also display over 350 antique glass insulators in the house. So what's a couple dozen extra flashlights?

OH man... Am I Smiling!^^ Heck yeah!!!!
I started out with a flashlight in each room. Then it was one on each wall of each room. Then one on every table/shelf/desk or display against each wall in each room. Then certain tables/ shelves/ displays in said rooms began to receive a 'theme' collection.
Yet there are times I walk past all those, clear to the other end of my home to grab a particular favorite (because it isn't on my person atm).
My wife likes how I make them blend in with the decoir of nick-nacks, collectables and various other items we display in our home.
Like this...
Or this...
We had Nanos and Keymates on the Christmas tree too.
But I'll say this; if you have the extra dough, keep going. If you are going in debt or putting off projects, driving a crappy car, not saving for your future etc... so you can buy more flashlights...
STOP!!!
It's just a hobby.

I just knew we had more in common than helping people, fixing cars and stuff. Is that a Mr. Spock character behind the unopened pack of Star Trek Playing Cards?
Geez... I love Spock! I saw the pilot episode when it aired the first time in ? 1967?
Thank you sir.Live long and prosper sir Poppy.
There's a closed Facebook group called "Flashlight Fanatics" where people buy, sell, and trade lights. Trading your less favorite lights for ones you like better might be a good option. Click to join the group, and an administrator should approve you quickly.
There must also be something like that on CPF - maybe the WTS forums.
