4sevens mini m2a gen 2.

I've wanted a small form factor 2aa light for a while. I usually go camping every year and always buy a new light or two before I go. Going camping this weekend, so picked the light up a few days ago for that.

Eagletac MX25L3. Need more power! ;) This is probably the last portable flashlight I will buy, unless somebody comes along with something even brighter that can be carried on a belt.

Triple Quad XP-L X40Vn.
Why? 3x4 XP-L = 12 XP-L emitters in a mid-sized light. :DNow that's the sort of arithmetics that a flashaholic loves!

Sounds amazing! I'd love to see pictures of this one, if you don't mind sharing.

Enjoy your new purchase :)

Armytek Wizard pro NW, best headlamp money can buy in my opinion, 2 firefly modes really useful during in-house night roaming, fully regulated for all levels, turbo at 1120 led lumens with thermal stepdown at 80°C (and ramp-up to turbo when heat dissipate), so almost 5 minutes of turbo (at room temperature with no forced ventilation) without lowering or flickering like zebras when PID engage...

Bought a Sunwayman D40A @ Illumn for 50 something with their 30% off promo. Still waiting for the package to arrive :mecry:
Was in REI today and saw that they were selling the PD35 on clearance at $40, so I jumped at the chance and took the last one home with me.

Neat little light. Just need some 16850s now ;-)

I just picked up a used Quark QP2L-x at a good price. I have 3 Quarks (2 1xAA'S and a 2xAA), but don't have any of their CR123 lights.

Foursevens Preon P2 Nichia. After buying more powerful lights (like the SC62w), I thought it would be nice to have something with a high CRI emitter that could be used in situations where I don't need a gazillion lumens. Plus, I've always liked penlights.

New version Nite-Ize Inova 80/11 lumen X1 and Inova 80/13 lumen XS. These are 1AA and 1AAA lights.

I have the earlier versions of both these lights and like the form factor, construction, and tint.

Been buying Inova lights for years. They are now made in China, but I don't have to send them to China if I ever have a problem.

Olight S10vnT and Fenix PD35vn for EDC and school/work as I'm a event audio/light.stage engineer. Perfect for extra light in dark places under the stage or high up at the light construction and the Magnet on the S10 makes it even better of use ^^

My collection would've already been alot bigger if it weren't for the money issues those light cause x'D


The lights are not the problem.......it's the darkness :laughing: I admit openly that I look forward to the dark....is that normal or just part of being a flashaholic. Winter is not the best time in the UK but it's certainly a lot easier to get through thanks to a tube,lens,battery and a button:D

Fenix E05. three colors are availiable, blue,purple and black. I chose a purple one as a gift for an old female friend. She doesn't know much about flashlights, but she likes it.
