When traveling you have at least five flashlights in your luggage aside from the one you’re carrying in your belt because you can’t decide which flashlight to bring.
Guilty as charged. Wake up to a light. Always prepared to strobe or high beam anyone who barges into my bedroom. (Which never happened)
The same reason i keep either a Modded SRK Kung or the BTU Shocker sitting on the night stand beside the bed.

When you’re grilling chicken outside and it’s below zero. Your guest guest is holding your sk68 while you take the chicken off the grill and it suddenly shuts off.
Rather than immediately going inside out of the cold, you try to explain protection circuits on Li-ion cells.
When you can see a photo with 5 cases of flashlights and be able to name most of them in the photo.
When you order xml reflector to xpg emitter centreing thingamebobs because, you know, it seemed like a good idea and somehow you invisage youre going to need them.
if you want pure silver pills from your flashlight
well done 
Where? Got a link? What size? Is there a silver reflector to mate it up with? Threaded? Parabolic in nature?
When someone mentions a fantasy and another well known member believes it’s reality.
Yes, yes, yes!
Find me a silver bar and Buck will make my dreams come true.
…Again
and i thought that i don’t need UV torch…
LMAO
I never did this. . .
When you consider the growth rate (or new product release rate) of LED and battery technology to be way too slow.
Or you are mortified to see how fast newer and better technology will make nearly all of your current flashlights obsolete , and you STILL keep right on buying them .
High school jewelry class was a long time ago, but I keep thinking its possible to do a lost wax casting of a p60 pill out of silver. Dress the threads and Shazam! I wonder if a jeweler could do it…?
I’m not sure if this counts as addiction or the opposite, but a different approach to this is to stop trying to keep up and simply decide on a point at which things are “good enough”. Or focus only on buying stuff you expect to last a long time.
That’s why I got a neutral-white DQG Tiny AAA IV. The build is sturdy enough to last for decades on a key chain, the output is bright enough for my purposes, it’s nearly as small as possible for 1xAAA, the tint is close enough to neutral white (though Nichia 219 would be better), it has no PWM, and in general it seems like it’s good enough to make future developments irrelevant for a long time.
I’ve been kinda doing the same for EDC. Currently waiting on a D25A Ti N219, which might do the trick. The L3 L10-219 is close, but it has no decent clip options and the anodizing doesn’t take EDC abuse very well… the D25A should fix both of those issues.
But even if it works, it won’t be enough to stop completely. I’ll still want to do mods, try tint mixing, build a strobe light, make a laser-like thrower, do some interior lighting, etc. There are lots of other types of lights to keep me busy. And in a few years I’ll probably want to get a new photon grenade and otherwise explore all the new developments.
My wife and I went shopping at a very large mall in another city,for which she wanted to buy a few candles,which I figured a couple of bucks each,no problem!……when we got to this candle place,(YC)she got looking at these scented candles in a big glass jar and they were like $29 bucks each…….what!? I told her I could buy a couple of nice 18650’s for that one candle! She finally spent over 80 bucks on 4 stupid stinky candles!!! I guess I don’t “get” her “thing” with candles??That’s fine,cause my turn is next! HB
