Back on topic - You might be a flashaholic if:
Even though biking home from work after dark is 15°F cooler, the really exciting thing is getting to use your lights.
Your 3-year-old nephew is already picky about clicky vs. twisty and knows how not to get burned using an S41.
DavidEF:
You don’t want just one flashlight in a scenario like that. You should have every flashlight you’ve ever considered selling and a few that you don’t think you’d ever consider, in case someone wants to make you an offer you can’t refuse. Then, don’t let anyone borrow any flashlights. It’s buy or stay in the dark! :smiling_imp:
I normally have a few in my bag, but yeah, I don’t want anyone taking any of mine into the can with them, so it’s buy or go all Helen Keller down the hallway.
Nope, no way.
You also compile a mental list of who hits the can and doesn’t even come near the sinks on the way out.

When you play the XBox 360 game Alan Wake (highly recommended for a flashaholic) and afterward, build a light to specifically replicate the beam pattern and performance of the titular character’s flashlight.
I did.
And for those who haven’t played the game, your flashlight is your most valuable weapon. Throughout the ENTIRE game. Other than some gratuitous product placement, that game was extremely atmospheric and very fun.
I think it should only have several uses.

You may be diagnosed with Acute Flashaolism Syndrom (AFS) if:
- you feel uncomfortable without at least two or three lights near you
- you buy lights just to store your other flashlights spare cells, and then buy spare cells for those lights…
- your neighbor believes he’s seeing strange lights in the sky some nights
- you own untouched spare lights in their original packaging, just in case
- you wish the grid would go down more often
- you go out at night for no other reason then lighting up
- you look at closeup pictures of naked lights late at night
- you fantasize on a 2k lumen keyring light
- you have tint and bin preference
…
Omg
Since all applies, i can’t deny it anymore…

You’re a Flashaholic when you know when the national holidays of China are.
(And it ain’t fun for us… )
I am in Vietnam and always have to buy low quality goods from China. Right now, I still do not know where to buy genuine

When your toddler (2 y.o) prefer THIS one, not the one you want to givehim
(no, he doesn’t play with the high lumen monsters, only the tame ones…)

The Korean guy on the right seems happy about that .
That’s Joe Samsung. Ka-ching!!
You might be a flashaholic if you have ever taken a flashlight apart to modify its firmware.
And you start synchronising your own holidays with the national holidays of China.
Plus point: it looks as if that is getting you more days off than before.

“You might be a Flashaholic”, if you call a compact thrower + a flooder + a headlamp + an emergency keychain light as a starter kit for your non flashaholic friends.
You might be a Flashaholic, if you come out of the closet, to make room for more lights.

You might be a Flash-a-holic if .....
You shake Christmas presents hoping they will sound like a flashlight.
You buy a gun to put a light on.
You only ride your bike at night .
UPS is thinking about making your house a hub.
