…if you order 5 lights for gifts from dx and you don’t know if they’ll send them 
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
- 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 
I use in my work seven flashlights at the same time!
You might be a flashaholic if you go to a fireworks show and your flashlight gets more attention than the fireworks.(true story, happened tonight)
please tell us more
So I took the family out to watch the fireworks and thought i would bring a few flashlights. I brought my convoy c8 and solarforce l2 with lantern head. No sooner as I put down the l2 lantern did I get bombarded with questions. I think I had about 30-40 people asking about the lantern and a few other flashaholic looked up the site on there phones and showed me that they had purchased the light. I stayed an extra 15 minutes after fireworks to let others see the light and talk with others. After I got the family in the van to go home, my wife said I needed a new hobby ornery are driving separately next year. Was a great time.
Love it. :bigsmile:
Wife 
Sounds fun actually, i remember when i was trying out a friends electric trike, everyone wanted to ask me questions, i only had a few answers since it was not mine but everyone was very curious
When you wake up with a hard-on next to you favorite flashlight. You might say, Glenn, You have major problems...Well, I'll leave it to your imaginations..... <evil grin>
“Leave me alone, it’s not a problem, I can stop anytime I want I just choose not to.” And that’s how I explain it to the wife, kids, family, therapist, people I work with and people I don’t know. But ain’t it the @#$%$ when you pull a little flashlight out and it totally blows away any other light even car headlights near by. People ask where man did you get that and you proudly say “I made it.”
I just had that experience for the first time on our camping trip last week. I probably was grinning like a lovesick teenager after a first kiss. My little MTG2 in an S3 was so bright people were astonished to see so much light from a pocketable light. It surprised me that many could not wrap their minds around me building it.
My wife asked before borrowing a light, which ones would be safe and not burn. In my mind I was thinking of the burning of the hand from the MTG2 or RMM’s M6 so I showed her the selection of lights that don’t burn your hand. She promptly fried my over driven C8 with an XML2 when she used it to tail stand and work in the tent. Her question was meant to find out which light can stand without hand cooling. She is learning well, unfortunately we communicate like any other married couple.
You're a flashaholic when Skyping you ask about a light you gave your relatives .
" How's karen and her new baby ? ...When is her husband due for parole? by the way ...how's your fandyfire ?
to you it's like your kid went off to college.. to them it's like... "what's wrong with Uncle Willy ? "
