Oh, when I'm stealth camping, my bedside light is an ancient 1st gen CMG Infinity Task Light with a green emitter. Much dimmer than my usual EDC suspects, so less likely to be seen by overly-inquisitive authoritarians.

Haven't posted here in awhile, and it's been awhile since I got a new light. All these lights on my nightstand have stood the test of time, so I haven't needed anything new. Guess I don't qualify as a flashaholic anymore. Also including a picture of my EDC for years now.

Thanks for the invite @Jelly

Surefire EDCL2-T & LX2, Zebralight SC600w Mk IV Plus, SC700d & H51w headlamp and recently added Fenix TK16 V2.0 on the nightstand.

Edit: I also have a Streamlight ProTac 1L-1AA dual fuel on the way.

I made my bedside "flashlight". It uses one 18650 cell, has a built-in USB charger. A nanjg101 driver with 2 - 7135's drives an XT-E royal blue led with a dome-shaped remote phosphor. Turns on in moonlight and has 4 more levels to choose from. I made it in 2017 for the BLF competition. [I see I should have dusted it before snapping the pictures. ;) ]
Outstanding job !

My nightstand flashlights vary from time to time. One I like for simple eye-easy illumination is the Lumintop Geek. The UI is weird, but you can put it in a mode where only the side LED's function, the array of five warm 5mm LED's. Not quite moonlight low, but low enough with 3 brightness levels. And it's side projected so you can easily face it away from you while standing. When in forward emitter mode, the side array can be optionally lit, for a set of 3 higher intensity brightness settings as well. Again, weird UI... but I like this thing.

Looks almost like an old Star Trek hand phaser. :cool:

The nightstand light that gets the most use here is an Olight Obulb. Easy to grab, doesn't get knocked down and scratch the furniture when I reach for it in the dark, easy to keep on the bed while watching tv without it getting lost in the comforter. I have a Fenix TK35, Olight S2R Baton Pro and S1R Baton II on the nightstand also but ever since I got the Obulb it gets 99% of the use. It's a wonderful invention.

Nightstand is a cluttered mess not picture worthy right now but here's the light.

So I don't have as many exotic lights as other members here would when it comes to this subject, but at present my go-to nightstand light would be the Streamlight Scorpion with a Lumens Factory tower module installed, which yields a very large beam profile (with good hotspot and more than enough sidespill). Specs: Nichia 319a 4000K, single-mode 1.6A buck driver, around 800lm gross output. Sorry no pics but anyone who has encountered this setup should get the idea......

I love the L@@K of both of your lights. Very cool, and I was reminded of the Star Trek phaser, also.
