I've got a LED surefire 6p and g2. A streamlight night com with the white light and three red LEDs. I EDC a streamlight stylus pro. And I have a Streamlight TL-1s for my sidearm. I've also got a Princeton tech headlamp that I use for hunting but I can't remember the model.

I want a surefire x300 or x400 ultra. A scout light. A tactical fury. The headlamp.
And a E2D for EDC while not at work. I'd like to try fenix but not really familiar with their models.

I edc a Jetstream 1aa. It has high/med/low and strobe. Works nicely for me and the strobe will mess you up at arms length. grin

I also have an Ozark Trail 2D hi/lo led and an Ozark Trail head lamp I keep in the truck and also another in my GHB. I have a Maglight led but it is so anemic it sucks!

Oh and I also have assorted led headlamps/flashlights in the house plus just got an led "Lantern" for area lighting. Works pretty nice for a house area light.

Several. A Streamlite spotligh4 that works well, a hog light system i got from a place in texas (2 lights, mount, interchangeable LED modules, bow mount, beam that can focus to about qp foot at 300 yards), A Nitecore caveman (8 AA batteries that will light up a filed 400+ yards across with its 800+ lumens), a Nitecore 800 lumen that hangs off the end of my Stevens 200, a jetbeam 300 lumen that rides in the hunting pack, a 500 lumen Us-made light on the end on my RRA (can't recall the maker), a fenix and a nitcore 2xAA in my work bag and EDC pack respectively, as well as a stremlight Stylus and some other 2xAA (again for the bags).

also have a Rayovac titanium alloy light I take hunt8ng along with a Rayovac headlamp. A few Dorcy headlamps, and a Fenix motion sensing headlamp so I can use it while butchering at night.

Then there's the LED Maglights that ride along in the cars, some LED mimimags that also fit into the hunting gear, and some clearance lights I picked up at Home Depot that can really get a beam out there too.

Might pick up the Rayovac spotlight at some point for giggles.

I'd also like to get one of the Nitecore or Streamlights that shine 19 lumens or better and can throw 500+ yards and a solid compact red LED capable of really pumping out the juice to get a solid ID on predators up to 300 yards on the dark.

Streamlight has been making me happy over the last year or so. I have a PolyTac on my AK, and a teensy little 30 lumen streamlight nestled in the shoulder pocket of my ACUs for Supply Cage emergencies. I run a TLR-2s on my 1911. I'm also pimping the Surefire headlamp on my ACH for work, because Army life extends beyond the hours of 9-5. I fell out of love with Surefire after my 6P LED quit working properly and now only spits half of its advertised luminosity.

Oh, and I have a 5 million candlepower floodlight in the truck, for, you know.. blinding aliens and such...

I have nearly as many lights as I do knives...!!! More than a few of Surefires, a few Streamlights, LOTS of LED Lensers and my new favourite is a Zebralite !!!!!! I also have a good number of C and D cell Maglites.

Maglites are useful for conversion to "solvent traps"
