I've got a 3D Mag, and the little 2AA LED MAG. Next one I get is going to be a 3D LED.

It seems our Flashlight tastes are similar, my friend.

I'd like a Surefire, but can't fathom dropping that kind of coin on a flashlight.

I have a surefire, not sure of the model, as well as a bunch of crappy MAG lights.

If anyone can tell me what kind I have, I'd be much obliged. Its got one bulb and takes 2 3V batteries.

My 3D is blue and my lil one is blue.
I don't know what the big LED will be just yet.

Hey, we're both from PA, I can see our tastes being similar!

I have a 2AA Maglite, a 2d Maglite, a headlamp (like a miner's), and a couple others.

I also have a couple emergency "shaker" flashlights that don't use batteries. They were real cheap on some survivalists website.

It could be one of several models.

Does it look like the two larger lights in my picture?

True story: Guy's stepbrother throws Surefire flashlight up in the air again and again until it broke (after like 30 tries). Surefire replaced it under the lifetime warranty.

I believe it. They're the Monster cable of the flashlight world. You pay extra for that amazing warranty.

I currently own the follwing Surefires 1 M3, 1 6P, 2 E2's, 1 old style handgun rail light. I also have 1 Mag 2AA, and 1 Mag 2C, and a Petzyl headlamp. I haven't photographed them together. I guess you could call me a geek.

Got a 2AA Maglite LED, another regular 2AA maglite, one of those little keychain mags, and a kickbutt headlamp. I am AMAZED at how much battery life and output I can get out of the AA LED mag!

Hmm... there's a device that I've seen on the web, that looks like a flashlight, but isn't really a flashlight, that I couldn't post a picture of here without getting banned.

So I'll just post this instead:
