Things you start to notice as a flashaholic

I was at the courthouse, disputing a traffic ticket. After my turn was over, I left the room, and so did the cop who ticketed me because I was his last one. As we left, I noticed a Surefire G2 on his belt, and I asked him about it. He demo'd it on the wall, and then I pulled out my EDC at that time: a WF-500 with 5x XR-E drop-in. Blew his G2 away of course, although I don't think any cop would carry a WF-500 around.

You're playing Alan Wake and you can't help but notice his flashlight is too throwy and lacks regulation :).

+2 but on the next level:

saw my lady last week using my SC51w to spot places not yet wacuum cleaned and dusty, under our bed.

And yes, I´m usually the one who´s precise around here when doing cleaning of the house... Neither does she have her own flashlight nor is she interested A BIT about them :|

lol :bigsmile: same here, use my Xeno E03 with XM-L to clean "dark" places :bigsmile:

You don't turn the lights on in your house at night, you just use your flashlight instead

you get sexual feelings when a flaslight is put in the pouch, even more when it's gets "turned on"

When you give it to your GF you hope she appreciates the triangular relationship you all have

you are checking your friends keychains for that mini flashlight you gave them

The gun mounts were re-purposed Steadicam mounts, for filming 'handheld' without it looking like it. A good Steadicam operator makes low six figures, BTW.

1. Definitely...Just get rid of those pesky bulbs

2. I think you need to see someone professionally.

3. Your GF asked us to tell you that you need to see someone .

4. Hard to give away flashlights without expecting that they will have the same reaction you have to lights.

are your dads and mums still around? i'd love to give mine a good light (for keychain, for purse, for toolbox, for car, ..) but i am sure that they wouldnt regard nor treat the light with enough care or respect. Will happen, so i wont give them any light: they would lose it or even forget owning one (my gift!). Same with cells. I'd wouldnt mind giving them Eneloops (No LiIon's for sure!!) and explaining that i would take care of them (also because they are part of my Eneloop Tones Glitter collection and these cells bear original numbers #1-8 in addition to their 8 different colors!!) but if they lose the torch, they also lose my numbered Eneloops.

i *know* that they would lose the lights i give them .. unless i personally attach it to the keychain with the car key ( good plan! J) )

Browsing Netflix the other I came across the title The Secret of NIMH as one of the higher rated movies (for me) in one of the popular categories


Seriously, my initial reaction was that it's a documentary on Nickel-metal hydride batteries! I was thinking how strange that it would be positioned on the list like that but it took a few seconds to finally realize "NIMH" is supposed to be a noun and not an acronym :D

You sir, have just started that man’s addiction. Next time you see him he’ll have a m3x on his belt!

I agree with this, but in a previous life i was a car person, so when someone says lsd, i think limited slip differential

I think of something entirely different when I hear LSD…

I’m sure you do :wink:

Lol, honestly have never done it, all I do is drink, but I do know people who are crazy enough to have done it.

I got my wife trained so well that before I even have a chance to say something when I see someone using an “inferior” light, she says, “your lights brighter than that” before I have the chance to brag.

I start to notice myself freezing my flashlights without batteries, just to get more out of them!

Having to search for droped screws etc , I notice how the floor never seems to be clean !
Nothing like being on your hands and knees with a 800Lumen flashlight , you can see every last dust particle .
heck I even got out the mop , cleaned the floor , came back with the flashlight and noted what little mopping the floor achived .

Nasty nasty Flashlight !
And that reminds me , need to mop the floor !

I found out yesterday on my white walls all the cobwebs from spiders there are. Like they are every foot if you turn off the lights and shine your light at them, it’s crazy. Also, fish are super easy to spot with a 5000k plus colored light. At night of course.

I don’t fit in at all.

I would rather watch a pretty girl, of any race, holding anything, or holding nothing at all, than look at a flashlight.

But you would rather look at a girl holding a Maglite than at one holding nothing. :P

Oh I forgot, you are married.. you dont get to look at girls at all. :oups: :D
