a trip to any store that carries electrical goods means a scan around to see what’s available off the shelf light wise, and usually results in a sneer when you find that the edc’s you currently have on you each has 3 times the output of any of the lights on the shelf……
You find you check out cells and chargers in stores regularly, even though you have no lights that use those cells.
You resolve to get some lights that use the above mentioned cells “just in case”.

You take an unhealthy interest in plumbing parts and supplies of copper…
People who visit your house now make a point of checking your “shelf” for new additions.
Work colleagues generally ask you for a light, knowing they’ll get a choice of a few, all far more usefull than anything provided.
Your first thought for Christmas/birthday presents for male relatives is some new light you’ve wanted to have a look at, you order two, just in case.

You have alternate shipping addresses to preserve marital bliss, and plan other storage locations for new shipments.
You find yourself having to explain an unexpected package to your wife, who has no idea about your internet habits….
