You Just Know Your A Flashaholic When......

[more_vampires]

If you COULD cloudbounce, you know you're a flashaholic!

Well, there was this one time with a weird fog bank that was really low, yet still off of the ground. I pulled off a cloud bounce with an incan minimag aax2.

I must be one.

Well same with me. I used an xm-l zoomie and the clouds were really, really low.

 

[C.M.S]

Having nothing for the most part in real lighting (Dec 2014) and now 400 so far $ later I have a few and wanting more

........when you start loving darkness and waits eagerly for sunset and also starts hating moon's light that reduces the fun of using flashlight in moonlight mode.....

 

[blah9]

When a family member goes on a work trip for only one night and one day and already EDCs two lights but you make sure she has a more-powerful 18650-based light and a spare battery just in case.

 

[Drclaw]

When your lying on the bed in the ER and they shine a weak penlight in your eyes and your first comment is "Is that thing on low?" . You then spend the next five minutes trying to figure out what light it is...

 

[H.J.M.]

I've literally had nightmares of venting / melting / killer CR123's.

I need help.

+1 or battery shortage nightmares... What happens when you dream all your batteries are gone or dead? You wake up and buy more just incase.

This is me also,
I read this and realized I am about 8-9 hundred in since Nov.2014
Now that is Canadian $ but still, I think I'm in trouble.

When you watch a movie (horror or otherwise) and loudly yell at the characters over the quality of their flashlights. You'd think you could afford a better light for criminal alien monster hunting...


Also when your friends and family have come to ignore it.

 

[NotSoBrightBob]

When you go to the restroom at work that has no windows, shut the door, turn out the lights and compare your new TubeVN with the stock model.

 

[Monocrom]

When your significant other starts putting her clothes back on because she feels you're paying more attention to your favorite light than to her.

 

[tandem]

When you scour the local flyers for battery sales.

 

[LetThereBeLight!]

When you happily do a show and tell to your little nieces by comparing and contrasting your biggest flashlight (a client's Home Depot gift to me running on three D batteries) with your tiniest light, a brand new magnet-equipped Eagletac D25AAA and they are in awe of everywhere you can attach it in their home and how tiny it is.

 

[LetThereBeLight!]

When you get the "Server Busy, please try again" message while surfing here a few minutes late at night at CPF and wish it weren't so!

:mecry:

 

[blah9]

When every morning (including today) you eat breakfast and get ready with the light of your flashlight instead of turning on any normal lights.

 

[greatscoot]

You log onto CPF and see this message and you start jonesing.
Upgrading software and
maintenance -

That's actually pretty fun! Saves on electricity too!

 

[tandem]

When every time people around you have a need for a light, you never disappoint.

Or, when I offered The California Highway Patrol, the use of my M6LT Surefire after blinding him with it, while he stopped me for a ticket instead of the 1979 3 D cell Incan Mag light he had. These guys have the latest gadgets squeaking on their gun belts except a decent flashlight.

Then he asked what is that light? I said the McGizmo? He was hooked after that, no,ticket!
