I've posted in a few places already, so it's probably rude not to introduce myself. I'm a Canadian living in Oaxaca, and had absolutely no interest in flashlights until a month ago. Since then I've lost my girlfriend, sold my house, been deported...
Not really. But my girlfriend does think I'm insane. I seem to be obsessed mostly with Solarforce stuff: it's just weird that something can be made this well for peanuts.
At first, I was simply buying a couple of lights for my bike. Then I happened on these flashaholic communities. I sneered. I laughed. What kind of weirdo gets obsessed with *flashlights*? Since then I've lost my girlfriend, sold my house, been deported...
Welcome to BLF, Visigoth! Fellow cyclist here. I started with dedicated bike lights (mtbr) and somehow wound up over here. The wife has always suspected I was crazy, flashlights just confirmed it for her.
I am obsessed with lights, bikes, knives, guns and motorbikes. I am losing my interest in guns and motorcycles a little bit but gaining it in bicycles and lights. I have too many of them all!
