London Flashlight Collectors & Modders - Hobbyist Stories

Looking to talk to someone in London really into flashlights! Hi! I’ve fallen down a bit of a rabbit hole reading this sub and I’m fascinated by how seriously you take your torches. I’m a London journalist writing for a national paper and I’m looking to talk to someone in London who is really into flashlights - especially if you’ve got a ridiculous collection, spend a lot of time modifying them, or (as I’ve seen on here) secretly quite enjoy a power cut because it’s finally time to get the torches out. I’m interested in the people behind the hobby rather than reviewing the lights themselves. I’d love to hear how you got into it, what you get out of it, and what your friends/family make of it. If that sounds like you, feel free to DM me. Happy to explain what I’m working on / who I write for. Thanks!
