You might be a flashaholic....

Yet another flashaholic thread… this time in the style of Jeff Foxworthy.

If you ever hit the circuit breaker just to have an excuse to use you new light…… You might be a flashaholic.

If you pick out clothing based on how many lights you can get in the pockets……. You might be a flashaholic.

If you have disabled the dome light in your car for an excuse to use your edc…… You might be a flashaholic.

If you put an xm-l in your phone’s flash. You might be a flashaholic.

If you rewind a crime shows just to tell what kind of light the cops are using……. You might be a flashaholic.

If you have ever forgotten to eat a meal because you were reading about flashlights on your computer…… You might be a flashaholic.

If you have ever heard some punk kids loitering around your house at night and grabbed your brightest light with intent to strobe them…… You might be a flashaholic.

If you urinate in the dark so you can check for pwm…… You might be a flashaholic.

LOL,
unfortunately my largest light is a DRY so no strobing anyone :smiley:

How about:

If while driving down the road you turn your headlights off and hold a flashlight out the window, you might be a flashaholic.

The round beam profile doesn’t work as well :wink:

Wow, you got me on this one. :slight_smile: It worked incredibly well too. They piled into their car and sped off in less than 30 seconds of an XM-L strobe in their face, they didn’t know what to think or where it came from.

I still don’t like strobes on an EDC, but for the high power XM-L barn burners, I am starting to like strobes quite a lot. Manufacturers: Just take away the SOS (or OSO) mode PLEASE!

But it works nonetheless!

If you've ever attempted or even planned to upgrade your lawnmower's headlights to XM-L's, you might be a flashaholic. (Note: No I haven't made any more progress on this other than acquiring parts.)

:slight_smile: Sounds perfectly pragmatic to me! Those garden tractor headlights are utterly worthless aren’t they? Especially given that usually one doesn’t mow the lawn in pitch blackness, but rather at dusk when there is still enough ambient light to make it impossible to see the headlights, let alone do work with them.

If your ever designed and built a "Urinating Light", you might be a flashaholic. :)

-Garry

I was thinking about OSO the other day :stuck_out_tongue:

With the new MK-R, upgrading headlights may be feasible 8)

Ha! I have done this! On a dark country road with my 7G5 on the driver side and my king on the passenger side. Hell the king put out more light than my headlights do anyway. It was awesome!

Want more?Tongue Out

1Since finding BLF, guilty!

2Yup, a huge Husky hand held spot light beam can make a hundred+ arms instantly appear in a parked car. Our house is in the woods and there was a house less culdesac across a creek next to the house. It was a popular parking spot, but when they played really loud music it was time to go.

I3 have something new to try!

If you came back to check on this thread, you might be a flashaholic.

You might be a flashaholic if you make flashlights.

You might be a flashaholic if you mod flashlights.

There might be the slightest possibility , that I might , perhaps be a flashaholic , an outside chance !

If you carry an EDC in your underwear and keep it “holstered”, you might be a flashaholic but you’d definitely be a sicko (or just a twisted perv)!

What brand of light? A UranusFire of course! :D

I feel that a glut of torches lying about the place is a pretty good indicator of a flashaholic….

LOL ! i’ve done that. Thought i was the only one haha
