How many flashlights is too many...

...to be carried at one time?
Just finished stage managing a theatre show, and I carried 3:

aa mag w/bb500 - general use
aa mag w/newbeam - for more discreet use in wings to prevent spill onto stage
6p/p60 - for power/emergency use

oh, and there was an led head light clipped to my script folder... /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif

Theatres (backstage) are great places for flashaholics... /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif

It all depends on your application(s).

We often realise how many is not enough though!

Too many is just one more than you need!

The problem is, how many do you need?

No such thing.

When you have enough to give away and don't feel the urge to buy any more...Nah, never happens.

I was thinking more along the lines of "how many is too many to be carrying at one time"... /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif

I certainly wouldn't carry all my flashlights at once (even though my lot is a mere 'starters pack' compared to some!!!) /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif

I feel it's too many if they end up getting in the way of my usual activities.

I EDC nine flashlights, but very rarely get to use them outside the house. But I'll have a light when I need one. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif
Last night, I needed to use just one: a SureFire L6 that was being used as a headlight on my electric wheelchair.

Of course it iis never enough. For a start, I usually EDC an LED for long run-time and an incand for throw.

All the lights I carry around on my person must fit on my keychain. With that said, I currently EDC an Arc N, a Turbo Nano Mate, and a Countrycomm Red $1 keychain light, along with 2 glowrings.

The Turbo Nano Mate will be replaced with the TNC N Cell light when it arrives.... that is, if I don't leave it sitting on my dresser as a work of art.

When the torches start pulling your pants down...

When they start making you trip.

When you have permanently blinded all your neighbors. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/help.gif
