Flashaholics Anonymous: The Flashlight Purchase Refusal Kudos Thread

This thread is set aside for members to reward themselves for each month they can go without spending anything on flashlights.

Rules are:

1) You are encouraged to post every month gone without making ANY flashlight or flashlight accessories purchases.

2) You are encouraged to report back each time you vow to go a month with no purchases, and then again if (when!) you fail. If you don’t post failures, this thread may well go dark quickly.

3) If, after succeeding one whole month (Hah!), a member wishes to renew their vows of non-spending, they are encouraged to re-post.

Let’s get in therapy. Everyone of us is LONG overdue!

Just spent $100 on an Olight and Convoys. I vow to go through May 9th without making a single flashlight purchase.

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:
