Flaunt Your Flashlights!!
Hello,
I notice many knife lovers are into flashlights and other EDC gear as well.While i understand big bucks spent on a knife, a grand or two at most on a flashlight is what most of us can spend.
Therefore, can those who possess " Good Quality " flashlights please post pictures? Rajat and Amarendra i think do.Perhaps the rest of us can be persuaded to invest in a Fenix.
Mods- DO not know which section Flashlights come under.Apologize in advance.

Re: Flaunt Your Flashlights!!
A large number of lights have passed through my hands, and many good ones have been sold. I do retain a few, some of which are in this picture
Large ones (L to R):
- Romisen RC-A4 (1xCR123)
- Malkoff Devices Lil Twisty with VME head (1xCR123) - EDC rotation
- SureFire 6P with Solarforce XM-L LED drop-in, SF finger-grip, and Xeno crenelated SS strike bezel (2xCR123) - homelight
- HDS Systems 120T with HCRI XP-G LED (1xCR123) - EDC rotation
- Zebralight SC50 neutral (1xAA) - travel
- JetBeam Jet-I Pro v1 (1xAA) - this light has crapped out, and functions intermittently. :-/
Small ones (top to bottom, L to R):
- Arc AAA UV (1xAAA)
- Arc AAA-P (1xAAA) - sits on my nightstand
- Arc AAA-Ti (1xAAA) - nightstand rotation
- Muyshondt Mako Ti (1xAAA) - nightstand rotation
Googling for the names will bring up the specifics and approx. costs. Too lazy to hyperlink all that stuff here. Enjoy!

It appears from your statement that Fenix flashlights fall in the category of "flashlights other than good quality flashlights".Skyman wrote: Therefore, can those who possess " Good Quality " flashlights please post pictures?

This is not so, they make some good quality flashlights.
Ignore if this was not what you had meant.

Re: Flaunt Your Flashlights!!
No, Fenix is not the top end, or goodest. They make good quality lights for daily use which can take reasonable amount of abuse. However, lack of dealer network in India is an issue if you have to send it to China for warranty repair (4 weeks registered post time to china, 4 weeks for them to fix it, and another 4 to get it back to you). Quality can be a hit or miss with them as well.Skyman wrote:Fenix falls into , how should i say, the " Goodest quality " lol.I meant we can invest in a top quality flashlight.
Over time, I have moved away from Fenix and invested in lights that haven't yet failed. Consider Malkoff Devices lights or Muyshondt or HDS manufactured ones - costly, but the ROI is way more than Fenix. That does not mean Fenix is bad, just that their QC can be a hit or miss and there are better lights out there.
