You Might Be a Flashaholic if...

LED Flashlights – General Info
1

Your neighbors are annoyed by you.

Neighborhood security knows you very well.

When certain lights are clicked on, you swear theatrically or laugh like a lunatic.

When certain lights are clicked off, the words “copper” and “driver” mysteriously come into your head.

Your palms are as use to scorching heat as a blacksmith’s.

Your street lights are your sworn enemies.

You laugh at the sight of a light that says “Police” and is black with the word “tactical” anywhere on it.

You notice how large, dome-shaped objects make you salivate.

The word “bin” doesn’t refer to a place to toss used towels.

You believe the dark really may have monsters (so why not be prepared and check to see what’s there?)

You forbid your family from coming near the charging station.

You believe that “lithium batteries” and “most people” don’t belong in the same sentence together.

The sight of a flashlight with advertised lumens in the double-digits makes you chuckle.

The sight of a flashlight with advertised lumens in the triple-digits make you skeptical.

You get the sweats when the delivery guy shows up.

You get the sweats when nightfall arrives.

You imagine one of your flashlight beams saying back to you: “Oh, so now I’m not good enough for you anymore? I’m not the right COLOR!”

Your spouse is excited to see you and says: “What’s that hot stuff in your pants!” and you reply: “Oh, my light accidently clicked on. Thanks for the heads-up!”

…

Well, that’s all I could think of.

… You hear people talking about their new LED light, and curious you ask to check it out and find it to be mere 10*5mm white LEDs. You try as hard as you can to stifle your laughs as your EDC can wipe the floor with his.
… Every time you hear people misuse the words such as lumens, lux and Cree you rage a little on the inside.
… You want to educate everybody about your lights.
… Everybody who knows you turns to you for a torch when the lights go out or it’s dark outside.
… You’re constantly fumbling and fidgeting with a torch in your hands (even right now).

EDIT: I just did the impossible. First time for me anyway. I resisted buying a new EDC. I guess I’m sticking to my trusty (hah) TF R5-A3.

You might be a flashaholic if you end us buying more than one of any single light because you like it so much and because you don’t want to be without one if the one you already have breaks even though one of the main reasons you bought and like this light so much in the first place is because it is so reliable.

You might be a flashaholic if you take a flashlight with you when you take a nap just in case it happens to be dark when you wake up.
