flashlight fetish

[Crazyeddiethefirst]

Welcome aboard Fireman9170...
I am preparing to move and admitted I had a problem when I thought I was past 150 lights...as I clean out my mancave I forgot all about XXXXX(let's just say way more lights than I ever thought possible)...Since the only successful treatment of this disease is death, I have given up getting cured and now am working on getting my wife hooked. It's amazing, I carved a custom wood tool box for her with pink accents and filled it with pink tools(including a pink flashlight of course), then a little 348 Nichia and now she is in love with the S1...my evil plan is working...

Thank you eddie, really!! , when i see you post ,i think of the lights/collection you have(awesome by the way) and feel...................NORMAL! :grin2:

 

[Crazyeddiethefirst]

Just like I feel when I see people with 6 Gizmos, 5 Hankos and a few hi end knives to boot....Thank goodness the flashlights have kept me so busy I have not bought a new guitar in a couple years...(I am still crying over a 1963 Fender Jaguar I sold....)

It amazes me, the hanko's and gizmo's,TNC's and SPY's etc etc etc, i mean 1 of any is awesome, 1 of each out of this world.............then you get Jon and Daniel, or stingray and thud(several more).................just amazing collections ............really crazy stuff and fantastic eye candy. I am probably as addicted to looking at these works of arts as i am owning flashlights!
Then this crazy guy called eddie:cool:............. if i had a $ for every light he had, i would probably have $364 :laughing:

Ha! Eddie has the solution! I'll sell half my lights to my wife. Then I can claim that I cut my problem in half!.... Hey kids, don't you want to buy some lights? LOL

 

[legendofzelda]

i wonder if its more than flashlights. What else do you guys collect and research feverishly into the wee hours of the night?

For me the cycle has been... pc hardware, acoustic guitars, hot toys 1/6 scale figures, bike lights, cars, and now flashlights

 

[MAD777]

Knives camping gear, fly fishing gear, and flashlights.

I have more shoes than my wife does. Is that a bad thing?

ven sometimes gets limited by how fast Vinh can make a new light to ship :laughing:

Nope.................total control..............(goes away to check)..............(comes back)................yep total control:grin2:

For me lights is a new one. I mean I've loved them since I was little but it's only recently that I really got into it.

I've had a great many hobbies / interests before, but the current ones are overlanding / camping, firearms and lights. Firearms being the main one.

I had a little trauma with USPS on last delivery, nothing, no tracking and stayed right at the start with initial scan....................15 days later it showed at UK then delivered next day with a list of quick updates and delivered. Usually in UK within 5 days, delivered in 8-9 days(with say the last 10 + imports) So dont know what happened, updated to quick at the end without them already having it out for delivery!

MAD is there something your not telling us, more shoes.............same kind of shoes? :naughty::p

Welcome to the forum, fireman9170. :welcome: You are in good company here. Just wait until you are with your wife and the electricity goes out. Happened a couple times to me. Wife does not say anything about my flashlights anymore. Actually she never has. She has well over 200 purses, 300 pairs of shoes, and enough Longaberger baskets to stock a store. Knives, flashlights, firearms are my weakness. I figure as long as we are paying our bills and putting some $$ in the savings account, it's all good.

I was looking at this collection thinking "Wow! Look at how many....wait...yeah buddy...there's room left on the one shelf for more!".

MAD777 shows his awesome display, and NOW ven is going around collecting all of his flashlights which he will probably need 1 or 2 days to find :-P
