Let there be light.
I for one cannot hold a torch to your collection.

For some reason the old Six Cell - D still hangs around here  ;)

Wow that is one hefty light Jan!  :o :o
That must go through a lot of batteries!!

Have you got your Fisher Bullet Space Pen yet?

Quote from: Stoker
Thank you for providing that Philip!

While I do have several here myself, I certainly can't match the full range of your collection. Nice to see a family portrait laid out like that, with the different branches of the family tree shown.


Thanks Daniel, glad you like my collection, i pretty much run them all off eneloop batteries except for the ones stored away which have energizer lithiums fitted.  ;D

Thanks to Nick's assistance in shipping this over to me, a Fisher CH4 'Shuttle' Space Pen now joins my collection to go alongside my Fisher Bullet and AG7 pens.  ;D

Howdy Philip

Just thought I'd add one that isn't seen any too often, at least I haven't seen it around much, but it is in fact my most used of the MagLite line, though I do have several others. Mine has the distinction of being in bright anodized blue and natural aluminum silver, rather than the ubiquitous Mag Lite black.

Here then is the somewhat uncommon three cell, LED Mini MagLite AA with belt sheath, along with a more common two cell LED Mini MagLite AAA with pocket clip for scale.

Daniel, thanks for sharing that rather unique minimag triple AA model. I had heard of them but that is the first time I’ve actually seen one, so thanks for sharing.

I imagine the battery life and lumens is pretty decent on that model. ;D

It outperforms the three D cell incandescent model, and though I use it quite often it hardly ever wants new batteries.

I thought that I was the only one that collected Mag-lite's. I gathered up what I could find and put them on the kitchen counter for a "family" photo. There are 52 in the photo, with another dozen or so in various cars and toolboxes. Sort of got out of hand. LOL

Spectacular!!!

I've never seen some of those colors and only have a couple of them here.

Yes, collecting anything can overwhelm us at times, but at least with these, it is a very usable collection!

Nice to know that the AG7 Space Pen was aboard on the first manned SpaceX flight to the ISS:
