Yesterday went to Carrefour, I did chuckle after seeing thoses half watt and low lumens light in blister packing. Still can’t stop

You might be a flashaholic if you grind down all your strike bezels.

You might be a flashaholic if furtive mail/package retrieval tactics are honed and perfected.

You might be a flashaholic if you have said to your wife, "I've had this for a long time" more than three times a month.

You might be a flashaholic if you are asked how many flashlights you own more than three times a month.

You might be a flashaholic if, when an item wasn't included with your order, Hanks says, "I'll just put it with the next one."

I edc two 18650 lights…….

oops, just glanced at my daysack, two 18650 lights and a 2*18650 thrower……

You might be a flashaholic if your wife googled about flashaholic.

Two is one, one is none.

— on Low.

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.

you might be a flashaholic if upon getting hold of any electrical gadget, you first investigate its power source, then get nervous if you find its li-ion in the hands of the uninformed.

Your also likely a flashaholic if you check out the shelves of any store you walk into for both cells and potential mod hosts.

…if you order 5 lights for gifts from dx and you don’t know if they’ll send them :slight_smile: but hey, only $ 5.60

…you stop at an intersection and try to count the leds in the traffic signal and wonder how hard they’re driving them…then a hybrid car pulls up next to you -and you wonder

  1. does it use 18650s2. how many could you get out of it__3. would that be enough?

OK…true story.

So we are getting the house and yard put together today for our big 4th July get together tonight.

The wifey informs me that we will have some extra help as her sister is sending her 18 y.o. and 15 y.o. daughters to help with the cleaning and preparations.

She goes on to explain, “it seems your 15 y.o. niece took it upon herself to sneak out the house last night……and didn’t come home until 2:00am in the morning”

“She was able to get back into the house by shining a flashlight and sneaking back into the 18 y.o. niece’s room……So let’s just say she is in deep trouble”.

Being the concerned uncle that I am,…quickly replied…

“Hey, I just have one question”……
………………………………………………

“What kind of flashlight was she using?”

Yeah,…you saw it coming. Needless to say, wifey wasnt too happy with my response….

But hey, there could be a teaching opportunity and intervention into upgrading to a proper lighting source,…right?

I know this group feels me… :bigsmile:

:D

You might be a flashaholic if you look at the taillights of cars in front of you and dispise their PWM.

I had the same question while reading your post, did you ever find the answer to what flashlight model?

Turns out she used the flashlight on her iphone 5….we need to have a talk.

Ohh. She is in bad trouble now. Next time maybe she can use a purple I3s or something. Preferably with a Nichia swap.

You would be like. "Thats a good girl". Next time she sneaks in with a customized high cri flashlight. :p

:D

Everywhere I go on the web, 95% of the ads are for flashlights.

She needs to be grounded, that is just unacceptable, add to that the punishment of how to add 7135 chips, dedome an XP-G2 and memorize the li ion safety guide :smiley:

I use in my work seven flashlights at the same time!
