You Might Be a Flashaholic if...

So you’re saying those reactions are not normal? Got to feel bad for the normal folks then.:party:

You might be a flashaholic if your on this forum. :bigsmile:

… 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.
