Flashaholics Anonymous: The Flashlight Purchase Refusal Kudos Thread

Just now I got in (or are in the mail) a truckload of parts I need to keep myself busy the coming month, so no purchases needed until may 9th ;-)

This will be difficult to dooo….

$300+ spent past month on flashlights alone, I’m doomed.

I've cut way way back on purchase as I just don't have much time for this hobby and have plenty of hosts and parts for planned mods that have been sitting for months (some over a year), but I still make occasional purchases and don't know that I could go over a month not making a purchase!

I will not comply!

I will comply in in month of July- Aug… that’s when I’ll be on vacation for 1 1/2 months to Asia :bigsmile:

Hi, I’m a flashaholic and it’s been less than 12 hours since my last purchase. I’m two Nitecores away from selling my body on the street corner.

No purchases planned, i want to do some replacing so if can sell a few lights i have their upgraded replacements in mind. I don’t have time to post a bunch of lights though I am far too busy right now

Maybe I should join the program too…

On the other hand, this flashlight-fetish might blow over again…

…hm…
But they will need upgrading in the future, when (for example) XP-G3 comes out…

Think of all the good deals on flashlights you can get while you’re over in Asia. :slight_smile:

I havent purchased a flashlight in over 4 months, maybe 5 or 6 months……Lost track of time haha

Although I just said I’d buy a K50vn PDT. On the bright side, I sold all my laser stuff, minus the few that are special to me. Still have a 3.2W 445nm MagLite for sale though hint hint

In the end I’ve sold way more than I’ve bought so :stuck_out_tongue: I dont have a problem anymore

Huh? Does that mean you've stole some to sell? Maybe you have another problem!

No means I have some cool friends who give stuff away, GF who buys stuff for me, etc…… :smiley:

Some things I feel like I “stole” just because the price was dirt cheap but I am no thief :wink:

Do we all have to chant, “I have seen the light………………………………………………………………but I didn’t buy it”

…I still have to buy some though…
That recoiler from FT, something like a HD2010 perhaps (wide reflector everyone seems so happy with), I have zero flashlights with a 90° head, yet to explore driver-land…
And how about a mercury vapour lamp? :bigsmile:
No, I’m not done yet…
Sorry guys…
:weary:

I was thinking the same. You think they’d have a factory direct place in Shenzhen?

Shenzhen is manufacturing city… even fasttech and wallbuys and most aliexpress store bought stuffs from there :slight_smile:

I’m doing my best not to buy any more flashlights for quite a long time. I’m going to build up the ones I have before I do that. That should take me quite a while.
