Are you a flashoholic?

Hi, I’m Matt and I’m a flashaholic. My sobriety date is March 1st 2019.

background talk: did you hear about the new MS18 with 100,000 lumens or the new DS18 or MF01S with 14,000 high cri lumens?

Matt - umm

just look how many times my name appears as a buyer, as opposed to a seller in a wts thread

If you make a new acquaintance and, in the course of conversation, mention that you’re a flashlight hobbyist (or words to that effect), how many people respond with “Oh wow, that’s really cool!”?
Ok, now how many respond with a slightly perplexed, sometimes condescending smile followed by “oh, isn’t that nice.”?
I’m not sure what “normal” is but I don’t think we’re it. :slight_smile:

Last month I made a meme that depicts my BLF experience thus far… It might help others identify if they’re a flashaholic also

Agro I feel like you’ve just walked into a church and asked “is anyone here religious?”

I think about flashlights a lot, like every day. Guess that qualifies me, I voted yes :smiley:

Flashaholics 12 step guide:

When I’m out with people do I sometimes get bored and start thinking about how much fun I could be having playing/modding/buying/researching flashlights? :smiling_imp:

if an addiction is logical, then yes I am.

Of coarse Not—Denial is the first sign of Addiction

Without question. We’ll see if it holds long term.

Gonna have to vote no on this one :innocent:

No longer even a question if:

You can’t remember when you past a hundred lights

You can’t remember how many you have given away

You can count at least 80 within arms reach (with batteries)

Your wife stopped asking if that’s a new light on your desk

:person_facepalming: :person_facepalming:

Like the saying goes “If you have to ask?”
:smiling_imp:

You’re browsing a flashlight forum and making posts.

If you’re reading this thread, the only correct response to the poll is “Yes, I am a flashaholic.” :wink:

I haven’t had one all day, but I may need one tonight. So is that a no, or am I in denial?

Second sign of Addiction—The people you hang around encourage you to have another round ( Group Buys )

Hey guys, feel free to look at my posts about this subject. Ha Ha.

It is more about learning the skills to build them i was going to put my lathe in the dinning room but it was too big and heavy to get it there. I do have a mobile welding bench in the kitchen and the best thing about TIG is no splatter so i can weld on my coffee table.

Mmmmmm, I love flashohol…
