My Fenix TK12. Ive had this one for several years and it's one of my favorites to use at night when walking my dogs. It's fairly small and has a nice 280 lumen beam.
the larger part of the current collection.
It came a long way and the collection was getting a big push when LED technology arrived and produced flashlights with very good light and battery life. I bought the brightest models when they arrived until i piled up this heap. Then i moved on to vintage and weird.
All torches on this pic are either native LED or converted.
This one is a Coast Polysteel that I got at a local hardware store for about $25. It has a huge LED and thick curved lens. Or maybe the lens is magnifying and makes the LED look bigger. I'm not sure. Anyway it has 579 lumen output on high. I dont know if it's twice as powerful as my 280 lumen Fenix but it beats the Fenix by a wide margin. The only problem I have with it is the pressure needed to twist the top to change from spot to flood, and I think this is a common complaint with this light and maybe thats why it isnt more popular and was on clearance. Both modes are good, the flood mode is very impressive.

i'm coming from how the 60-120lumens led flashlight was 'the best and all that i would ever need', and actualy anything from 80-150lumens is still great for my need now hehehe..

very-very well round collection sir! you got all your basses covered..
what is that headlight? seem interesting... also the black one standing on top of the military flashight on the low left is quite intriguing..
The G10 is 32 lumens and stays attached to my lunchbox that I carry to work. The G26 is a 3 LED light with 83 lumen output that I use mainly inside the house. Not bright enough to use outside at night but doesnt blind me when doing something inside and need a little extra light.
Here are some of my lights. I paired them up with the appropriate G-Shock. I have a few other SF lights floating around, but these are most of my favorites. The set that is used almost every night is the Gulfmaster and SF Backup. The black light is a custom from McGizmo and the huge light with the GPW Beast is a modded 3x18650 light running an M6 bulb, it's very bright.
Some great lights here posted by everybody. The old military lights are really cool too. Great stuff everyone!
Iyonk - I love Innova flashlights. I never got the 2xCR123A UV light, always wanted one though.
K&L - The A2s with red leds are great lights. I've had a few of the old school incandescent versions in the past. Never had the new type. I am thinking about getting another incandescent red version or maybe white, or maybe both...
