Question For Flashlight Guys

Wow - nice accumulation there, Jeff! I only have a few, and one of them that I carry every day was given to me as a gift. The others are just little Proton keychain lights (very good though and great gifts) - and a couple others that I have accumulated over the years.

It should not be long before I can start really moving into our new house and getting all my toys and tools out again....

Haven’t purchased any new lights for a while, but I couldn’t resist this one. Lumintop FW3A (SST-20 version). Great tint and 1600 lumens on turbo.

Sorry for the double post, can’t figure out how to remove the image!

Felt like kerputzing today instead of doing something constructive. Consolidated my 15 year flashlight collection for gun safe storage.

I got a brass maratac from my jk santa. It reminds me of the old L shaped flashlights I had back in the day as a young private.

You've got some real beauties there. I'll have to post a pic of my small but eclectic collection.

You can get an LED drop-in to replace the old incan bulb. You’d really enjoy the update of that classic little light!

Thanks Andy. Was that the one Bill gave us?

Jeff

I still have the one Uncle Bill gave us - it is in console tray of my truck and has been since I was lucky to receive it from Bill at the Gathering.

One of my friends at work gave me a Fenix with an American Flag etc that I replaced my EDC Fenix of the same model, sans etch.

Off topic - when are you visiting us down here in Winchester?

Next time we head down that way for a hike, I’ll give you a call for sure.

Would you be willing to head up this way for a 2020 cabin (Fall) Gathering?

That is an awesome group of lights!

I’ve only had the FW3A for a couple of days, but I’m already a fan. The SST-20 has a nice tint and the optic makes it nice and floody. I ordered a few different Carclo optics to play with and an 18500 body to try.

The overall shape feels so nice that I placed an order for the FW1A Pro as well. Lots of juice and more throw!

I just updated my E1 and E2 with Nichia 319 drop-ins. Beautiful neutral white tint.
