Any flashlight-a-holics here :)

I'm up to about 20 now. But, Besides Inova and Eagletac, I really like the Solarforce line of lights..

Any other flashlight fans here?

I recently bought an L2 and L2r, both minus the drop in's, which I ordered from Dealxtreme. So far I like the L2, but I purchased the wrong drop in for the L2r so I can't comment on that one. I plan on fixing the L2 to my WASR to see how it holds up to the recoil, if it deals with it well I'll probably get more from them. For their value they may have Fenix beat....if they hold up well.
 
I order mine directly from the vendor in Hong Kong via their ebay site.

Generally, they arrive in 10 days:

That smaller one is a 1 cell light, but it takes a rechargable 3.7 v battery to power it - a single 123 primary doesn't have the power. It's the only 1 cell solarforce I have - the rest are 2 cells, and I use regular primary batteries. But, I am very happy with all of them.
 
Another flashlight fan on CPF. Just a smattering of what I had close by (left to right, rear to front):

Surefire 6P with an SST-50 LED, aspheric lens
Surefire C2 w/ Malkoff M61 drop-in
Surefire M3-CB bored for 17500 li-ions, running XP-G LED
clone of the infamous Surefire "porky"
Surefire M3 running Lumenfactory's 380 lumen xenon bulb
Surefire C2 w/ white cerakote, finned head, bored body and extension, custom crenelated bezel and tailcap and a "moddoo" 1000 lumen triple XP-G drop-in
Surefire L4 lumamax w/ TAD Gear TIC bezel
HDS Ra tactical clicky w/ sapphire lens
Tiablo A9 aspheric w/ XRE LED, EZ900 die size, pumps out 108,000 lux
Everything resting on one of five fishing tackle boxes of spare and module parts

Currently working on a custom machined Maglite running the SST-90 LED which is capable of 2000 lumens :)

Heard some iffy things about their quality on CPF. No personal experiences with their stuff though, besides checking them out at the gun show.

Well, I am a big fan of the Eagletac brand. I will likely buy more of their stuff as they come out with other models. I'd pick up a few more of their current models, but I don't care for AA sized lights much, and nothing else they currently have reallygoes outside of the 4 I currently have.
 
I think I'm up to 6 solarforce lights now- with a bunch of different bezels, tailcaps, and drop-in configurations. I love the darn things.

They do get addicting :)
 
Ok, here is my current collection, minus 1 LED converted mini maglight that is for my son... (that would have made 21)
