What kind of light do you NOT have?

List the light(s) that haven't made it into your collection/tool ensemble. That is to say, and in keeping with the CPF forum titles more or less, what type of light is not one that you own?

This my first poll with the new software, hope it works.

Thanks for your patience.

EDIT You can choose more than one answer.

Crap, I'm missing a headlamp, now you have to remind me...

I'm actually looking for a band that goes round your forehead which you can clip lights to rather than investing in a dedicated headlamp.

KevinL,

I think you'll be happier with a dedicated headlamp. I've got both and for any extended length of time the band style will drive you buggy. Of course YMMV.

KevinL,
The Nite Ize headband works well for that. I've been toying with the idea of ordering an Inova 24/7 to clip to the front of mine, but most of the time I put my A2 or E2o in the band and my Princeton Tec Pilot on the other side as backup. Very simple and easy to use, though not every flashy. It normally runs around $7 here in the US.

Like many I see, I haven't entered the HID world. Yet.

The NIte-Ize works okay, but there's some balancing going on. Handy if you don't want to carry a headlamp, but functionally nowhere as comfortable and directional.

i want an hid, just cant find a cheap powerfulone that is not a thore.

Is it me, or don't the percentages add up to 100%?

I don't have a lot of lights. No rechargable spotlights, no HID, no Luxeon or other powerful LED lights, no glowsticks, no lasers, no hybrids.

Maybe you should put a "none of the above" for those like me who have one of each
I can't vote

Boy.. now that I think about it I need an HID...

Me: NO: incandecent, headlamp, hybrid, spotlight, lanteren, HID.
Yup I'm one of the few without a regular incandecent. They've all been modded to brigther led's... I do have UV lights too (led)

Pradeep1,
I believe because of the multiple categories, it doesn't have to add to 100%.

You can choose multiple categories. The only way to get 100% is if everyone chooses only one.

Anyway. . .

Almost 10% of you guys don't have an incan!?!?!? That blows me away. Not even a $20 Mag?

PS: Oops, Broker you beat me

I'd be interested in knowing which battery types or sizes we don't own, or refuse to own. I have no use for C or D cells anymore because I'm spoiled by the flatter discharge curves of other cell chemistries. If the light could be regulated, I wouldn't mind, but right now I'm into Xenon lights, and few xenons of any size or configuration are regulated.

Here's an option... I have a Princeton Tec Eclipse 2 light that comes with a clip that can go on the visor of a ball cap. It runs on two 2016 coin cell batteries and has 3 light output settings. It has a single 5mm LED bulb, which is great for around-the-camp use. Great as a backup to a full sized headlamp.

I think UK makes a 2 AAA eLED flashlight with a similar type of clip.

Most I don't have,
I have only the LED and incadescants

I bet for many of us, the type we don't have are on a wish list, or soon will be.

I wanted to put an option that said something like "got them all" but the software only gives you a max of 10 answers and only 1 question. :shrug:

I was going to send you to another poll from last month but it's gone at this point. Maybe it will be back eventually. It seemed that a lot of people have more than 10 types of batteries that they stock, more if you include rechargeables.

Great poll topic, LT.

The software builds a nice results page too.

No HID here either.
