      Have 2 of these on the boat....

      And one of these in my shore fishing bag...

      Irritatingly, the push buttons for the white light and the red light are transposed between the models, so I am always pressing the wrong fucking button. Not so bad normally, but when I am night fishing, accidentally lighting up the scene with white, is not a good thing....

              Those look great.....

              But, I have just ordered a few super-cheapies from Amazon, basically just emergency lights to put in places on the boat where they may come in handy. And one for my TDC (Travel Days Carry 🙂 ).....

                flash lights or flesh lights? I've had great use of them in the army, which one, that you'll have to figure on your own..

                  got quite the collection of flashlights
                  my favorites are, by far, the ones that have been developed by the enthusiast community on budgetlight forums and similar. Mostly these revolve around the toykeeper UI's but things like the Noctigon and Emisar lines like the Meteor 43 and D4V2. I also like the tiny single cell cr123 olights for throwing in a bag or something. Zebralight also makes some great flashlights. And not quite a flashlight, but also love the BLF Lantern.

                  It's been a few years since ive bought a light though so not sure what the new hot thing is, though in a quick search I see a lot of 21700 based lights compared to the 18650s which make up most of my collection.

                        My old Elzetta Bravo. This is a brand that’s fallen off but these old aluminum ones with potted electronics are nigh indestructible.

                            Most used flashlights triple.
                            petzl - Actik; best all around use.
                            Lightweight and easy to use. Hanging at the frontdoor, because the whole family likes it.

                            Armytek - Wizard C2 WR; perfect red light for night walks with the dog. Love the fast magnetic charger and the versatile possibilities, especially with the eye-friendly red light. Ten years no hazel warranty…

                            LED Lenser P7; has seen many days in the alps. Living at the back door at the moment.

                                I have some olights. On my keychain is a i1R 2 and in my pocket a baton 3. Love these especially walking the dog and camping.

                                  I’ve been looking at the Olights primarily for dog walking duties. Just bamboozled by the myriad of models and versions available…

                                    @Nocturama sorry for the crappy shot. I was wrong on the model, I have the S1R Baton 2 as my daily driver for the dogs. I don’t need more to find the poop and the dog. It serves me well since many years. Small and handy to clip anywhere but bright enough for regular duties.

                                        I avoided this thread because I read it quickly as "fleshlights". I have a Nextorch TA30C it's spectacular! And for lighter duty, I have the Nextorch K3RT pen light, which is also amazing. Highly recommend!
