[Hodsta]

When you secretly check in even though you have convinced yourself you reached torch/flashlight nirvana.

 

[LGT]

When you put your flashlight on high mode right on top of your glow in the dark wristwatch to check what time it is. Even though you really don't need to know the time.

 

[TEEJ]

When you put your flashlight on high mode right on top of your glow in the dark wristwatch to check what time it is. Even though you really don't need to know the time.

You know, if you get tritium for the watch, the hands, etc glow all by them selves....so your WATCH is now a light too.

When a local security and awareness program, which I'm participating in, from the town council lets you know in their newsletter that they have ordered flashlights (and other stuff) to lend out for events, the first thing you're thinking of is: "Why don't you state what you did buy (specs and review please)?" and the second is: "Nah, can't be anymore powerful than what I'm already carrying". Third thought was if the people participating wanted a flashlight they don't have to return after the event I might have a few lying around for them.

You get woken by a bump in the night and realise it was one of your flashlights falling off your bedside table.

You find a forum , read for few weeks, decide to make a purchase, spend a few more days reading/learning, change your mind 20 times what to buy, and end up spending almost $400 on first purchase. Fenix (TK 61 VN) My wife is going to hate you guys.

[Illum]

There's at least one wife that anonymously spoke out about it, wouldn't be the last. Hey hubby

 

[japudjuha]

You know your a flashaholic when you see a brand new 4WD with 3+ pairs of spotties on it, and you just have to tell the guy about your one handheld light
that will smoke all of his combined

 

[blah9]

When a new person comes into the lab and within the first hour already finds out about the number of flashlights you're carrying around all day.

 

[jonwkng]

You see a Triple Quad (That's 12) XP-L modded X40 on sale, and your heart skips a beat. :huh:
And you think to yourself. A Triple Quad XP-L X40Vn (Just say it out loud).
Darn, that sounds good...
And you buy it.

My name is Jonathan...
I'm a flashaholic.

[fyrstormer]

I've got one.

You know you're a flashaholic when you pack your stuff to move to a new house, and you need a box to take all your fancy lightbulbs with you.

 

[blah9]

When you pack for a night hike and feel weird about only bringing two flashlights with you during the day instead of the usual four because the other two are packed in a different backpack for the trip.

 

[BanditoPete]

When, as a teacher, you can't wait to bring into class your box of lights and a couple lasers and teach your Physics class about the properties of light, the differences among transparent, translucent, and opaque, refelction, refraction, and Snell's Law. Of course, you have more fun than many of the students!

 

[fyrstormer]

When you take earplugs to a rave so you can enjoy the light show.
