Here's mine:



Sure Fire G2 | Streamlight Twin-Task 1L | Inova X1 | Inova Microlight

I will purchase a big light with a very high runtime to complete that line-up soon, probably a Streamlight ProPolymer 2C or one of the C or short D cell Mag-Lites.

Post a picture of your flashlight collection!
 
I haven't got a pic, but how do you like the Twin-Task? I always thought it was a neat idea, but I don't know many who have one.
 
The tip of the iceberg........:cool:

John,
it's a very useful and tough EDC light. The LED is sufficient for most applications and the incandescent mode gives you a wide, bright and reasonably clean beam. The aluminum body is very well-made: I acquired the Twin-Task 1L just a few weeks ago, but I'm already convinced that it will hold up very well.

Get one, I doubt that you'll be disappointed.

I consider purchasing another one (possibly the 2D version) to keep in my car.
 
Ok - you asked for it. :)

To whoever has a surefire g2/6p/9p... how do they compare to each other, and to a stock 4D cell maglight?

looking to buy one and not sure what would be worth the money :D

(not buying the 4D mag, already have one, just something i can compare them with)

The XO3 is my favorite light for piercing the darkness. Yet you gave it up. You are dead to me. :D

Interestingly enough I was shining the 3million candlepower spotlight out of my front door earlier tonight (its misty I was going for the WWII searchlight effect :D), then I noticed the guy over the road staring like he thought martians had invaded!
 
Blade - the Thor is very cool. You can really blast something at a distance, but the fun part is to just point it straight up because it seems like the beam goes off into infinity. They aren't too costy here in the US either - generally in the $40 - $60 range.

You can see them at www.cabelas.com - search for "Thor".

best regards

Who? What? Where? How? I need more info.... Is it easy to do, or does it involved sodering and crazy stuff like that??
 
Both of these photos are at least a year out of date and therefore a few (may be ten/dozen) SureFires less.
It's actually quite time consuming to take a group photo which is why I've not taken a more recent photo...

Photo taken 14 June 2004:

Photo taken a bit later with some of them:
