How many flashlights do you have?

I was counting my flashlights the other night, and I was surprised to see that my collection has risen to 112, give or take 1 or 2 I may have forgotten. I'm not including the $1 Countycomm lights because I bought those with the intention of giving those away. Most of my lights are run of the mill, ordinary everyday flashlights. I like to collect American-made flashlights. About 1/4 of my flashlights are LED. The rest are incandescent. That is an ever increasing amount. So, how many flashlights do you have? What percentage are LED/incandescent/HID? Do you collect a certain type/make?

Man, what a scary question. I don't think I dare count. I have a bunch of the $1 CC lights to give away, but I also bought a bunch of small Princeton Tec lights during the TTS closeout to give away. Should I count those? If not, let's see:

LED:

2x Arc AAA
2x CMG Ultra-G
2x CMG Infinity LED (red, white)
UKE 2AAA eLED
4x Photon II (yellow, green, white, red)
1x Countycomm squeeze light UV
McLux TK
Arc4+ Second, may resell
UKE 4AA eLED, may resell
Firefly semi-complete (awaiting electronics)
Luxeon R2H on star (awaiting assembly into Firefly)
Eveready Essentials 2-led headlamp

Incan:

Streamlight TL3 Xenon
UKE 2L
Minimag
Tekna Splashlite (K222 bulb)
Tekna Monolith
Mag 3D
Generic 2D household light
Generic 2C household light
PT Surge
PT Blast

I think that's everything. A few of the above, I'm rather attached to, and wouldn't part with unless I could replace them with something similar. Most of the rest I could see trading for other gizmos or giving as gifts if the situation arose.

I dont have that many right now but I am working on it /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/broke.gif. I have 2 Blaster 3's, 2 Streamlight 3AAA Task-Lites, 2 Infinity Ultra's, 1 Pelican M6 LED, an old 3D Maglite, old 4D Maglite, and an old 6 volt lantern. I have ordered the Tri-Star 4D. These are more than I really will ever use but I want more /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif. This forum has me addicted. LED's are the way to go for me from now on.

Eleven lights,
Basically, what is in my signiture plus a Brinkmann BB400 Q3L on my wife's bike, Arc AAA w/red LED and a Streamlight Batonlite laying around somewere.
100% of my flashlights are LED lights. Three 5mm LED lights, seven 1.2 watt Luxeon lights and one 5 watt Luxeon light. The 5mm LED collection will be growing soon with some more Arc AAA lights and a few Infinity Ultras.
A UKE 4AA, another 5 watt light and an Arc4+ with 2AA battery pack etc. when it becomes available should round it all out.
I don't collect flashlights exactly. I use them for bicycle lights, EDC lights, work lights, emergency lights and lights for deployments across the pond.

90ish

Can someone create a poll, something like
1
2 to 5
6 to 10
11 to 20
etc

20 ish almost all the lights purchased since joining CPF have been LED and it looks like 11 are LEDs but I probably have others sitting around I am forgetting.

Not sure how many flashlights I have but since I joined CFP, I've spent over $10,000 on flashlights, batteries, UCL, etc... /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/crazy.gif /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/banghead.gif /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/twakfl.gif /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/whoopin.gif /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/icon3.gif /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/icon15.gif

Well, I'm a little reluctant to admit I only have 11 or so. I recently got rid of a whole bunch of junk lights in various states of disrepair.

I gave up counting them when I ran out of fingers. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grinser2.gif

Needless to say, I have a lot.

About a dozen LED flashlights plus a couple coin cell lights, a folding lantern, two CK Sauce lights, an emergency flasher, and silly bicycle spoke lights. I probably have about another dozen incandescent lights(none very good), but haven't bought one in a couple years.


What kind of spoke lights turtle? Hokeyspokes? /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/icon3.gif

i currently have 7 lights in rotation. altho i need to send in my Reactor and Arc LSL for repairs.. but i'm looking to make it 11 lights in the next couple months. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grinser2.gif

I've got no less than 300 flashlights /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/eek.gif but I have an excuse for having that many...a website about them. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif

craig ever think of turning em all on at once? lol id do it if i had that many

i am also sad to say i have only 4, 6p with kl3, mclux, and mclux pr-t, and mini lgi,
as you can see, solid state lighting for me /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif

For now I've got a 6P,E1e/w KL1,Electo-Lumen Anglux,Inova Blue X5, eternaLight ELiteMax, LedXtreme Predator and a MiniMag sporting a MadMax module.

I love the smell of napalm in the morning!

I need to do some inventory this weekend, I've failed to list my Maglite 3D, Streamlight Stinger HP and a LightWave 3000. I may purchase another 6P, I fear that this one may disapear from the SureFire product line before year's end.

p.s

The problem now is to figure out which on to take (+ batteries) on an up coming road trip to home state. Arkansas.

Mine are listed in signature. They are all lights any non flashoholic wouldn't think of spending the money on, although I don't have 50 or 100 and probably never will have that many lights (so I say right now.) I just wanted to find lights good for every use I need, and I have.

Lambda Turbo Nano Mate for a bright rechargable EDC on a keychain.

Modded Arc LSL for general use around the house. (although I find myself using the nanomate more lately)

Electrolumens FT-3C for moderate throw applications indoors and outdoors.

Mag 3D mod for a long throwing lightsabre for long distance throw applications.

Electrolumens Illumalux modified with a red luxeon for bedside use ... the red beam causes only minor loss in night vision and consequently I'm able to use it without "squinting" like I would other color lights.

All I have left now is perhaps a 2+ million candlepower lantern, and those are easy to find.

Last time I counted I was around 300. Most are regular or old type flashlights. Not a lot of high dollar Surefires, but maybe one day. I will not post pictures here and take up space, but here is a link

(I have no excuse /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif)

I havent counted in a while, but if I were to guess, about 65.

( my sig line is way out of date. )
