I have at least fifty it could be a lot more if you count mislaid ones and old ones hidden in cupboards and draws now long forgotten. I have about 15 that I am happy to claim as good ones though.

I'd taken a pic on my iPad of my collection shelf.  Believe it or not, there are about 150 torches on there and I have lots more that aren't on it.  The wifey just picked up another, smaller shelf for me yesterday at a yardsale.   Once I get it cleaned up and hung I can add more lights and reorganize the collection.  :)

At one point we had 55, but 20 at any point were business rewards and giveaways for my little supply shop, mostly UF and Solarforce... now I have 30 or so, including some nicely modded ones.   I used to have the most fun w large lights, but the last year or so it's the smaller lights w maximum punch that get my constant attention.

I gathered up enough from my den to make this shape.

I started out with the intention of stopping at my favorite number 28. One day I discovered I had 35 so I gave away 7. Another day I discovered I was up to 45 so I decided never mind that idea.
At last count I had cracked to 300 mark. I don't think I'm at 500 yet but feel confident I'm closer to 500 than 300.

It's a disease I tell ya. But I've backed way off these days and have set my sights on hard to find items that don't cost a lot.

I used to have a lot more lights than I do now. I have 3 Malkoff's,1 Blue Label  Prometheus/ Dark Sucks, 2 Lumintop's, 1 McGizmo, one little red one (I can't remember who made it.), and 2 Sure Fire's (They both live in my car.). That is all off the top of my head. I forgot about the 2 FourSevens lights I have. I have a Quark Smart & Navi Smart. (The Navi Smart was a waste of $$.)
I sold or gave away the others.

Woohoo!! 8)

My last count was 92, as of the the other day.  About sixty per cent of those are run by 18650 batteries; and yes, I have fully charged batteries for every one of them :-).  There's not much point in having a light, if it's not ready to go, on a moment's notice.

I just gave away a few to my Mom.   As of today, it's 90 lights - and 18 chargers lol (most of them are XTAR units).

Of the 90 lights, 57 of them are running on 18650 batteries (my first choice for EDC lights).
